Greetings<br>
<br>
Yanel is now supporting pre-authenticated users, which means for
example some previous system (e.g. extranet environment) will
pre-authenticate the user and a reverse proxy will forward the
username of the pre-authenticated user inside the request header to
Yanel. The username request header name can be configured inside
yanel.xml, see element "<
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<span class="pl-ent">pre-auth-request-header/>" at the bottom of
the file</span><br>

<br>
This parameter takes effect so far inside<br>
<br>
- YanelServlet.java<br>
- Authentication similar to BasicAuth, but without a password<br>
- LoginResource.java<br>
- When no account exists yet for the pre-authenticated user,
then the access should be denied, but the login screen might want to
take this into account and present a registration form instead the
login mask<br>
- RedirectResourceV101.java<br>
- When pre-authenticated, then redirect can take this into
account<br>
- UserRegistrationResource.java<br>
- When pre-authenticated, then we still want to create an
account first and hence ask for some personal information<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
