Authenticate user when they typed in their password credentials with ElectricCommander
I have a project that ask user to type in their username and password using credentials capabilities of ElectricCommander. This project is used to execute specific user commands.
Problem
The project works fine when user typed in their authentication in the credentials correctly. But, problem arises when they mistyped their password.
Question
Is there a way to authenticate the username and password prior to executing the command step to run the specific user commands? Basically, the first step would be to authenticate it against the ACLs to ensure that it is correct, then execute the command step if it is correct.
- Execute a step that performs a credential check prior to doing actual work. Could be something very simple that uses the user creds.
- Use postprocessor to check for errors
- Set error handling of step to abort procedure if there's an error. Or preferably use the output from postprocessor as a run condition for your next step.
The credential checks using LDAP would need admin permission as far as I know. I do not want that. When setting up LDAP, there is a test usually that user could type in their username and password something like this would work. Using the credentials command, I do not see a way to do that authentication. Any ideas or sample codes? Thank you.
