Using ticket for authentication

[jtremb95]

We are currently using Alfresco’s Webservice API. Is it possible to get authentication using just a ticket? The class I’ve been using so far is AuthenticationUtils. It looks to me as if it will only work with id and password. Is their another way using just a ticket number?

Thank you for your help.

You could use WebScripts, because you can use the alf_ticket parameter in the query string to put the Ticket value.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to use the authenticated ticket returned from the webscript to initiate a webservice session?  I tried using username, and ticket as the password but this fails

try :

AuthenticationDetails auth = new AuthenticationDetails(userName, ticket, sessionId);
        AuthenticationUtils.setAuthenticationDetails(auth);

Awesome hsohaib - I pass in null for the sessionId and this looks like it does the trick. Thanks!
