Hello, is it possible to login via token (from query parameter), instead of username/password?

I would like to be able to use Simplifier.User.getCurrentUser(), to get info for the logged user.

Hi Vasileios,

When your URL contains the Simplifier token, you can access it in an Auto Field. Set the Auto Field type to ‘URL’, the characteristic to ‘Query Parameter’ and the Query Parameter to the name of the query parameter in the URL where the token is stored.

In the Process Designer, add a UI action that stores the value of the Auto Field in a Global Variable. After that, in a CSBO function (or in a script), set the token with the following code snippet:

var sToken = this.getGlobals().getVar("token"); // the global variable where your token from the auto field is stored
this.Permission._setAjaxHeader(sToken);

With that code, the user corresponding to the Simplifier token is logged in.

In our Standard Content, there is a Client-Side Business Object function to fetch the current user’s Simplifier token: ‘ITIZ_Utilities’ – ‘GetUserToken’. You can use this token to trigger the login via script/CSBO.

Thank you very much. It seems it is working now.

Do you know for long this token is valid? And whether I can change the valid period?

You can configure the token validity on your Simplifier instance (if you have admin permissions):

In the user menu on the upper right side, select the item ‘settings’. In the tab ‘Server’, you define how long the token should be valid.

I see. Then I am getting a wrong token. Is there a way to get the Simplifier token from the logged user?
