Hi,

You can call the Admin Illuminator service to query a user in xMII. The Admin service is a http service and can be invoked as below:

http://<server:port>/Lighthammer/Illuminator?service=admin&mode=UserAttribList&Mask=<username>;

If the user exists in xMII you will get the user details otherwise you'll get an error message.

Thanks,

If you want to pass login credentials from one html page to another withou logging in you would do http://server/Lighthammer/Login.jsp?IllumLoginName=<LoginName>&IllumLoginPassword=<Password>&Session... page> where webpage is the location from your web root (a relative address). You can also use the Guest account information for logging in. Do a search on Guest in the xMII help and it will give you many variations for Guest login as well as username and password login.

Senthil,

Do you have another Authentication method turned on such as NTLM, SSO, LDAP, etc? If so this may be why.

Senthil,

If the login is not successful the login page shows you a message: "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password. Please try again!"

I don't think that there is any differentiation between invalid user, invalid password, etc. Especially when connecting to an LDAP source, the external request either responds with a true or false and this is also true with a disabled or inactive account.

Senthil,

If you hit the following address http://<server name>/Lighthammer it will bring you to a username and login screen from here enter your username and pwd. If they are not in the system it will error out. If they are then it logs you in successfully to the xMII portal screen. If you want specific session attributes that are associated with that user you can then do http://<server name>/Lighthammer/PropertyAccessServlet?Mode=List.
