Putting a login screen onto sample flex viewer?

[grahamcooke]

Has anyone successfully put a login system "in front" of the sample flex viewer? Can this be done using states in flex? If anyone can help me out I'd be most grateful!!

1) LoginMainApp does a HTTPService connect to the rest services.
2) I am currently running mine on java.

If you're simply generating a Long-lived token to access the services, attaching it to the config.xml will work.
If you're retrieving a short-lived token on the fly to access the services, you will need to follow the steps i mentioned above. Mapmanager.mxml HAS to be modified in order for this to work. (Assuming you are using the sample flex viewer)

Thank you for the answer. I've solved my problem yesterday.

All works, I've understand that roles with groups of users stored in active diretory doesn't work. I think that nested group aren't recognized.

I generate on the fly my token, I made the authentication with a php script called by a flash form.

Now the next step is to integrate what done in the sample flex viewer and I think that the solution is in the map manager.

thank you

so login.swf is a separate app that i create in flex?

Did you wind up implimenting this flash login code as a swf, or did you go in a different direction?

Thanks

I embedded the flex app in an asp.net page, and had the users log in via a .NET website application using asp role/membership functionality.

i did not do any of the login functionality in flex, i stayed with the .NET wrapper idea.
