User replication involves synchronising each user in the third-party application with a named user in Yellowfin. This allows Yellowfin to identify the user who is logged in, and to apply any restrictions that may be required. Synchronization is usually performed using web service calls from the third-party application to Yellowfin. This can also be managed manually if users in the third-party application are generally static.

This section will outline how to create, manipulate, and delete users via web services. It is assumed that the web service is called to mirror user changes immediately after a user modification is made in the third-party application.

Instructions

See below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example:

  • Here's a basic request to create a new Yellowfin user, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
    
    
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(1);
    
    rsr.setFunction("ADDUSER");
     


  • If you need to create a new user in a specific client organization, add this to your code

    rsr.setOrgRef("org1");      // A new user will be added to the client org with "org1" as an organization reference ID


    If you do not define the orgRef parameter, the new user will be created in the default (primary) organization.


  • The ADDUSER function requires AdministrationPerson object where you define the new Yellowfin user details:

    AdministrationPerson ap = new AdministrationPerson();
    
  • To create a new user, you need to fill these mandatory parameters: UserId, FirstName, LastName, RoleCode, Password, EmailAddress:

    ap.setUserId("john.smith@yellowfin.com.au");		// if Yellowfin authentication option is set to "email address"
    ap.setFirstName("John");
    ap.setLastName("Smith");
    ap.setRoleCode("YFREPORTCONSUMER");                // Yellowfin role codes can be found performing this query against 
    												   // Yellowfin configuration database: SELECT * FROM OrgRole
    
    ap.setPassword("test");                    		   // Password must comply with your Yellowfin password policy
    ap.setEmailAddress("john.smith@yellowfin.com.au");

    Other parameters of the AdministrationPerson object are optional.


  • Pass the 'ap' object to the request:

    rsr.setPerson(ap);
    


  • Once the request is configured, carry out the call:

    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);
    

    Initialize the Administration web service. Click here to learn how to do this. 


  • The response returned will contain the StatusCode parameter. See the Response Parameters table above for details.

    If the OrgRef parameter is omitted, the user will be validated against the default (primary) organization.


  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);

    Initialize the Administration web service. Click here to learn how to do this.


  • The response will contain the StatusCode parameter.



Complete Example

Below is a complete example of the VALIDATEUSER function. To use it for yourself, carry out the following the steps:

  1. Copy the code and save it as ws_validateuser.jsp.
  2. Put the file in the Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT folder.
  3. Adjust the host, port, admin user and user to validate according to your environment.
  4. Run http://<host>:<port>/ws_validateuser.jsp from your Internet browser.


<%            
/*              ws_validateuser.jsp                */
%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ page import="com.hof.util.*, java.util.*, java.text.*" %> 
<%@ page import="com.hof.web.form.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.hof.mi.web.service.*" %>
<%
AdministrationServiceService s_adm = new AdministrationServiceServiceLocator("localhost",8080, "/services/AdministrationService", false);        // adjust host and port number

AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub adminService = (AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub) s_adm.getAdministrationService();
AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();

rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");          // provide your Yellowfin web services admin account
rsr.setPassword("test");                           // change to the password of the above account
rsr.setOrgId(1);
rsr.setFunction("VALIDATEUSER");

AdministrationPerson ap = new AdministrationPerson();

ap.setUserId("john.smith@yellowfin.com.au");
ap.setPassword("test");

rsr.setPerson(ap);
rsr.setOrgRef("org1");

AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);

if ("SUCCESS".equals(rs.getStatusCode()) ) {
	out.write("User is authenticated");
} else {
	out.write("Failure");
	out.write(" Code: " + rs.getErrorCode() );
}
%>




This call validates a user's password. If the password is expired, the call will return SUCCESS as the StatusCode, otherwise it will return FAILURE.

Keep in mind that for a freshly created user who has not yet logged into Yellowfin, the call retrieves SUCCESS meaning that their password is expired. This happens because for every new user, Yellowfin is required to reset the password at the first login.

User Session Termination

These services can end user's Yellowfin sessions.

This service terminates a Yellowfin session. However, it requires the LoginSessionId to be able to log the user out. This is is enough to identify the user, hence the user ID is not required. When a single sign-on is performed with either the LOGINUSER or LOGINUSERNOPASSWORD functions, you can get the LoginSessionId via:

String token = response.getLoginSessionId();


Save this value, so that you can pass it out to the LOGOUTUSER request later:

request.setLoginSessionId(token);

Instructions

See below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example:

 
  • Here is a basic request for this call, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
    
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(1);
    
    rsr.setFunction("LOGOUTUSER");
  • Pass the login session ID:

    rsr.setLoginSessionId(token);
    
  • If the user is logged into multiple Tomcat sessions simultaneously, then you can even specify which session to terminate by setting a parameter, for example:

    String[] _sessionId = new String[]{sessionId}; // log out by Tomcat session Id (cookies JSESSIONID)
    rsr.setParameters(_sessionId);

    Only one session should be provided for termination per request. Note that the Tomcat session ID is optional; if omitted, Yellowfin will terminate all of the user's sessions.

  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

Complete Example

Below is a complete example of the LOGOUTUSER function. This script is designed to perform the following steps:

  • Call the LOGINUSER service which retrieves the LoginSessionId;
  • Configures the login link. You will need to click this link first, to initialize a Yellowfin session for the specifed user. (In our example we will log in the user john.smith@yellowfin.com.au. Make sure that the user you mention, already exists in your Yellowfin instance, or you can even modify the userId.)
  • Configure the link to log out. You will need to click this once the session has started.


To use this script for yourself, carry out the following the steps:

  1. Copy the code and save it as logoutuser.jsp.
  2. Put the file in the root folder: Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT.
  3. Adjust the host, port, admin user and user to login/logout according to your environment.
  4. Run http://<host>:<port>/logoutuser.jsp from your Internet browser.

This service is similar to the LOGOUTUSER function in that it logs out a specified user, however this one requires either a user ID (for example, an email address or any other type of ID depending on the Login ID method) or a user's IP ID (that is, the value of the IpId field in the Person table in Yellowfin's database), rather than a login session ID to identify the user.

This call uses the AdministrationPerson object which is used to provide the user ID or IpId.

Instructions

See below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example:

  • Here is a basic request for this call, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
    
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(1);
    
    rsr.setFunction("LOGOUTBYUSERID");
  • Identify the user to log out, by passing their user ID or IpId:

    AdministrationPerson ap = new AdministrationPerson();
    ap.setUserId(userId); 
          
    rsr.setPerson(ap);
    
  • If the user is logged into multiple Tomcat sessions simultaneously, then you can specify which session to terminate by setting a parameter, for example:

    String[] _sessionId = new String[]{sessionId}; // log out by Tomcat session Id (cookies JSESSIONID)
    rsr.setParameters(_sessionId);

    Only one session should be provided for termination per request. Note that the Tomcat session ID is optional; if omitted, Yellowfin will terminate all of the user's sessions.

  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);

    Initialize the Administration web service. Click here to learn how to do this.


  • This call's response will contain the StatusCode parameters. See the Response Parameters table above for more details.
