Authentication Profile

The Authentication Profile sample use the DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler class to take care of showing an authentication dialog for logging into a Portal. Once authenticated against the portal the app displays information about the authenticated user's profile.

Features

• AuthenticationManager
• DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler
• PortalInfo
• PortalUser

Developer Pattern

The DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler is the default implementation of the AuthenticationChallengeHandler interface to handle all security types that ArcGIS supports (including OAuth). This sample uses it to authenticate with a portal. This is set on the AuthenticationManager. To authenticate the user you create a Portal object, provide the essential credentials and then asynchronously load the portal as shown below:

// Set the DefaultAuthenticationChallegeHandler to allow authentication with the portal.
DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler handler = new DefaultAuthenticationChallengeHandler(this);
AuthenticationManager.setAuthenticationChallengeHandler(handler);
// Set loginRequired to true always prompt for credential,
// When set to false to only login if required by the portal
final Portal portal = new Portal("http://www.arcgis.com", true);

The Portal class follows the loadable pattern and includes listeners to monitor the status of loading the portal.

portal.addDoneLoadingListener(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        if (portal.getLoadStatus() == LoadStatus.LOADED) {
        // loaded
    }
});

Once the portal has loaded you can access information about the portal and authenticated user.

// Get the authenticated portal user
PortalUser user = portal.getUser();
// get the users full name
String userName = user.getFullName();
