Whenever we are calling Liferay JSON web services we can find Authenticated Access required.
Even we send user name password still we can see the above exception. Generally this kind of exception we can when use apache http client to call Liferay JSON web services.
Generally this exception will encounter due to following reasons
- If the Liferay Web services not enable to Guest user Access
- When permission checker object is Null
- When users not sign in the permission checker
The following is Liferay portal java class you can find the code
public class AuthenticatedAccessControlPolicy extends BaseAccessControlPolicy { @Override public void onServiceRemoteAccess( Method method, Object[] arguments, AccessControlled accessControlled) throws SecurityException { PermissionChecker permissionChecker = PermissionThreadLocal.getPermissionChecker(); if (!accessControlled.guestAccessEnabled() && ((permissionChecker == null) || !permissionChecker.isSignedIn())) { throw new SecurityException("Authenticated access required"); } } } |
Even we use Admin User Name and Credentials to access these web services we can see Authenticated Access required.
Solution:
We need to use BasicAuthorization heard in the URL request so that we can successfully call the Liferay JSON web services.
We need to set header to httpPost or HttpGetRequest so that we can call these web services. When we set Authorization header basic then we need to encode credentials with Base64 encoding format
Example:
Base64 b = new Base64(); String encoding = b.encodeAsString(new String("test@liferay.com:test").getBytes()); |
Set Basic Authorization header to Http Post/Http Get request as follows
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("/LiferayJSONWebservices-portlet/api/jsonws/employee/get-employee"); Base64 b = new Base64(); String encoding = b.encodeAsString(new String("test@liferay.com:test").getBytes()); post.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding); |
