Authenticate script

An authenticate script is required if you want to use pass-through authentication to the backend resource. If your connector does not need to authenticate to the resource, the authenticate script should allow the authId to pass through by default.

A sample authenticate script for an SQL database is provided in openidm/samples/scripted-sql-with-mysql/tools/AuthenticateScript.groovy.

Input variables

The following variables are available to the authenticate script:

configuration: A handler to the connector’s configuration object.
options: A handler to the Operation Options.
operation: An OperationType that corresponds to the action (AUTHENTICATE).
objectClass: The object class being used to authenticate, such as __ACCOUNT__ or __GROUP__.
username: A string that provides the username to authenticate.
password: A guarded string that provides the password with which to authenticate.
log: A logger instance for the connector.

Returns

The user unique ID (ICF __UID__). The type of the returned UID must be a string or a Uid. The script must throw an exception in the case of failure.
