Web Services Exercise
- Former user (Deleted)
This is where it goes.
Possible Example
Hi, Luke
That's exactly what I want to do! Thank you very much for understanding
my problem. Right now I got stuck with writing a webservice that passes
in only the username to get an individual username's sites.
Here is what I was thinking to do:
1) Use SakaiLogin to login with admin\admin account. It returns a
sessionid as a string.
2) Write a webservice that only passes in the username to get the sites
for that
user.
3) Pass in the SakaiLogin admin session.
In this way we can avoid using each individual user's username and pwd
to log in by calling SakaiLogin.jws. But I got stuck with the second
step. I couldn't find any method in SakaiScript.jws or SakaiSites.jws to
do this. Could you give me some help in doing that?
Thanks a lot.
Peggy

Can't you use SakaiLogin and an admin username and password? This
should provide a session that you can use for other WebService calls.
In other words, you may be able to get an individual username's sites by
calling SakaLogin with Sakai admin username/password which will return a
session. Then, with that session, do the site query Web Services call
passing in the username.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
In that case do I need to get a sessionid by calling the SakaiLogin.jws
(which requires passing in both userid and password) , then pass in the
sessionid and establish the session?

Body How about using
AuthzGroupService.getAuthzGroupsIsAllowed(userId,
"site.visit", null);
The only AuthzGroups with "site.visit" should be sites, so this should
return the authzGroups (formerly realms) for all of the user's visitable
sites.
