Using LoginByToken

The code fragment in this section sets up the message handlers and calls the LoginByToken method. The following sequence describes the steps and shows the corresponding objects and methods.

1 Create a new HeaderHandlerResolver. Then set the message security handlers for cookie insertion and for inserting the SAML token and credentials in the SOAP header.
2 Get the VIM port.
3 Set the connection endpoint in the HTTP request context.
4 Call the LoginByToken method. The method invocation executes the handlers to insert the elements into the message headers. The method authenticates the session referenced by the session cookie.

The following examples shows Java code that calls the LoginByToken method.

Example: Using LoginByToken

/*

* Create a handler resolver and add the handlers.

*/

HeaderHandlerResolver handlerResolver = new HeaderHandlerResolver();

handlerResolver.addHandler(new TimeStampHandler());

handlerResolver.addHandler(new SamlTokenHandler(token));

handlerResolver.addHandler(new HeaderCookieHandler(cookie));

handlerResolver.addHandler(new WsSecuritySignatureAssertionHandler(
userCert.getPrivateKey(),
userCert.getUserCert(),
Utils .getNodeProperty(token, "ID")));

vimService.setHandlerResolver(handlerResolver);

 

/*

* Get the Vim port; this call clears the request context.

*/

vimPort = vimService.getVimPort();

 

/*

* Retrieve the request context and set the server URL.

*/

Map<String, Object> ctxt = ((BindingProvider) vimPort) .getRequestContext();

ctxt.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, vcServerUrl);

ctxt.put(BindingProvider.SESSION_MAINTAIN_PROPERTY, true);

 

/*

* Call LoginByToken.

*/

UserSession us = vimPort.loginByToken( serviceContent.getSessionManager(), null);
