How to use AuthenticationAdmin service to authenticate user against WSO2 carbon server

In WSO2 products we use client server architecture within our servers. Any functionality available to you via WSO2 Carbon management console can also be invoked via a web service call. To invoke an admin service you have to authenticate user first, then get the session cookie and invoke the services you want. For this you need to invoke AuthenticationAdmin service. Here is a sample java code to invoke AuthenticationAdmin service and get session cookie. While running sample you can change username and password and see how authentication works.


package wso2.test.com;

import org.apache.axis2.AxisFault;
import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants;
import org.wso2.carbon.authenticator.stub.AuthenticationAdminStub;
import org.wso2.carbon.authenticator.stub.LoginAuthenticationExceptionException;
import org.wso2.carbon.authenticator.stub.LogoutAuthenticationExceptionException;
import org.apache.axis2.context.ServiceContext;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

public class AdminServiceClient {

    public static void main(String[] args)
            throws RemoteException, LoginAuthenticationExceptionException,
            LogoutAuthenticationExceptionException {
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/repository/resources/security/wso2carbon.jks");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "wso2carbon");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JKS");
        String backEndUrl = "https://localhost:9443";
        LoginAdminServiceClient login = new LoginAdminServiceClient(backEndUrl);
        String session = login.authenticate("admin", "admin");
    }
}

class LoginAdminServiceClient {
    private final String serviceName = "AuthenticationAdmin";
    private AuthenticationAdminStub authenticationAdminStub;
    private String endPoint;

    public LoginAdminServiceClient(String backEndUrl) throws AxisFault {
        this.endPoint = backEndUrl + "/services/" + serviceName;
        authenticationAdminStub = new AuthenticationAdminStub(endPoint);
    }

    public String authenticate(String userName, String password) throws RemoteException,
            LoginAuthenticationExceptionException {

        String sessionCookie = null;

        if (authenticationAdminStub.login(userName, password, "localhost")) {
            System.out.println("Login Successful");

            ServiceContext serviceContext = authenticationAdminStub.
                    _getServiceClient().getLastOperationContext().getServiceContext();
            sessionCookie = (String) serviceContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.COOKIE_STRING);
            System.out.println(sessionCookie);
        }
        System.out.println("Login Unsuccessful");
        return sessionCookie;
    }

    public void logOut() throws RemoteException, LogoutAuthenticationExceptionException {
        authenticationAdminStub.logout();
    }
}
