Alfresco Mobile call authentication component on each action

[pritesh_shah17]

Hello All,

I am using Alfresco mobile app in Andriod and iPhone.
I have my Alfresco server up and running. I was just debugging for one issue and I found that on every click/tap on alfresco mobile app, it calls authentication component (AuthenticationComponentImpl.java or LDAPAuthenticationComponentImpl.java) if LDAP is configured later one is called everytime.

Can anyone tell the reason for calling authentication component everytime on each action performed on mobile app?

Any help appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

The app doesn't maintain an authentication session other than credentials for HTTP Basic auth. Hence they are sent each time.

If we were to use the TICKET system, the app would have to be refactored to regenerate a valid session on ticket expiry - and ideally replay the network request. This isn't something that's currently on the roadmap.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you Mike for quick reply.
I think its overhead to call authentication on every action, anyways its answers my question. Thanks a lot
