Getting the user's Portal password

Former Member

Hi Experts,

Here's the thing: I know how to validate the user's password using the method checkPassword(String pass) from the IUserAccount interface BUT I want to know if there is a way to get the same password from the Portal in simple text (not in hash values).

Is this possible?

If yes, how or where can I see an example on how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

In the end, there was no need to get the user password.

The requirement changed.

Thanks.

Hi Osvaldo.

From point of view of security it should be disabled by design of web container - no magic you do not see the easy way.

If you need to send a password e.g. to backend, you should better consider single sign on.

If you need to send a password which is not necessarily password in portal (e.g. R/3 password without sso), you should use user mapping feature of portal. But I thing in code you will not get password anyway
