Django - Start Session by Ajax Request - ajax

I need to know how to start a session by Ajax in Django. I'm doing exactly as described bellow, but it is not working! The request is sent correctly, but don't start any session. If a request directly without ajax it works! What is going on?
'# urls
r'^logout/$', 'autenticacao.views.logout_view'
'# view of login
def login_view(request):
username = request.GET.get('username', '')
password = request.GET.get('password', '')
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
login(request, user)
return HttpResponse(user.get_profile().sos_user.name)
return HttpResponse('user invalido')
'# ajax in a html page
$(function(){
$.get('http://localhost:8000/logout/?username=usuario?>&password=senha', function(data){
alert(data);
});

You're not calling the login_view. You're ajax request is going to the /logout/ url which is calling the autenticacao.views.logout_view.
Also, The ?> after username=usuario doesn't look right in the your get url.
My guess is you should be doing something like http://localhost:8000/login/?username=usuario&password=senha. (but I'd need to see your login url mapping to be sure).
Also, you should be POSTing the login information and using HTTPS for security reasons, but that's a different issue.

Yammer javascript SDK logout issue

I can successfully login with yam.platform.login but when I call
yam.getLoginStatus(
function (response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
yam.platform.logout(function (response) {
if (response) {
alert("logout success");
}
})
}
}
);
the inner callback function is never reached. Do people know what is happening?
EDIT: another strange behavior that could be related to the problem: after the above logout function call, the login status is still "connected" and I checked in Chrome that all cookies from yammer.com are deleted. But when I manually ask Chrome to delete the cookies, login status would return "unconnected".
Response from yam.platform.logout seems "false" after successful logout so you might try "if(response == false)" or even without if statement..
I was also facing the same issue. It is hard to believe that the issue still exists in 2018! I dug a bit more and found that after the app is authorized by user, Yammer server sends a cookie which gets stored in the browser somewhere (not tied to the session) and yam.platform.logout is unable to delete this cookie (Ideally it should!)
But I found a good workaround which is working neatly for me.
Below is JS in my login page:
$("#yammer-login").click(function(){
console.log("clicked");
yam.getLoginStatus(
function(resp) {
yam.platform.login(function (response) { //prompt user to login and authorize your app, as necessary
if (response.authResponse) {
console.dir(response); //print user information to the console
alert("login success");
}
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"/setSession",
data:JSON.stringify(response,null,'\t'),
contentType:"application/json;charset=UTF-8",
success: function(result){
alert("Result from setSession is: "+result);
window.location.replace("/login");
}});
});
}
);
});
Here #yammer-login is the id for login element
<h2 class="sign-in">
<center>
Sign-in With Yammer
<br><br>
<span id="yammer-login">Click</span>
</center>
</h2>
Here is my workflow:
The JS on login page sends a POST request to setSession and sets the session. The execution of window.location.replace("/login"); sends a GET request to my server for /login url. As the session is now set, my server then redirects this request to the dashboard. After I click on logout button on the dashboard. I clear all the session cookies and redirect it back to the login page. As the session is now un-set- I see the login page again! All works smooth!
So, the next time user clicks on #yammer-login DOM element - the session gets set and she gets redirected to dashboard (this time without authorizing the app)!
Hope this helps someone who faces this issue like me in the future!

How to handle authentication in Angular JS application

I am implementing an auth system in my angular js app.
What I am planning it like below:
Get user info(name and pass from login form)
Check whether user exists or not
if exists server respond with a session cookie and frontend will redirect to a certain page.
then user will do some task which will generate API request
API request should have cookie information that was sent on step 3
server check whether the cookie was generated or not and if cookie was found then respond with the API request results. And in my service I am doing something like
MyApp.service('myAuth', function($http, $q) {
this.authHeader = null;
this.checkAuth = function(){
//do api call and if success sets this.authHeader = response
}
this.isAuthenticaed = function(){
this.authHeader ? return this.authHeder : return false;
}
After submitting the login form I will call checkAuth and get my session cookie back from my server, how I can add the cookie information while doing the next REST call and also when user will navigate throughout the application after log in I do want to check each time isAuthenticaed true or false, in Angularjs when it will navigate to another page does it resets after setting it true from the first call? And is my approach 1-6 good or do you have any specific suggestions?
Btw I checked previous so entries but those are not what I want to know.
I am not sure about your backend, but this is how I would do it
Create a separate login page (dedicated url not angular sub view or
modal dialog).
If the user is not authenticated redirect to this login
page. This is done by server redirects. This page may or may not use
angular framework, as it just involves sending a user\password to
server.
Make a POST (not AJAX request) from the login page, and verify on server.
On the server set the auth cookie. (Different frameworks do it differently. ASP.Net sets form authentication cookie.)
Once the user is authenticated redirect user to the actual angular app and load all its components.
This saves any code require to manage authentication on client side in Angular. If the user lands on this page he is authenticated and has the cookie.
Also default browser behavior is to send all cookies associated with a domain with each request, so you don't have to worry if angular is sending some cookie or not.
I use the http-auth-interceptor. http://ngmodules.org/modules/http-auth-interceptor
In my backend (asp.net mvc) I build a simple Authentication Service and return an http error 401 if the user is not authenticated.
Then I handle the error with a login-view in the SPA site.
The ideas put forth by the previous answers will work, but I think they're overkill. You don't need anything this complex.
how I can add the cookie information while doing the next REST call
Turn on withCredentials by default inside $httpProvider like so:
app.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.withCredentials = true;
}]);
Then remove the wildcard (if you had one) from the CORS-related headers, and set allow-credentials, on the server side. In my case, using Python + Flask + Flask-Restful, it's super easy and looks like this:
import Flask
from flask_restful import Api
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
api.decorators = [cors.crossdomain(origin='http://localhost:8100', credentials=True)]
Now cookies will be set and returned automatically and transparently by the browser. See these threads for more info:
$http response Set-Cookie not accessible
Angularjs $http does not seem to understand "Set-Cookie" in the response
when user will navigate throughout the application after log in I do want to check each time isAuthenticaed true or false
As suggested above, have the server return 401 if the auth session expires or is deleted, and use $httpInterceptor in Angular to catch this like so:
app.config(function($httpProvider) {
var interceptor =
function($q, $rootScope) {
return {
'response': function(response) {
return response;
},
'responseError': function(rejection) {
if (rejection.status==401) {
// Modify this part to suit your needs.
// In my case I broadcast a message which is
// picked up elsewhere to show the login screen.
if (!rejection.config.url.endsWith('/login'))
{
$rootScope.$broadcast('auth:loginRequired');
}
}
return $q.reject(rejection)
}
}
};
$httpProvider.interceptors.push(interceptor);
});
(Disclosure: I'm one of the developers of UserApp)
You could use the third-party service UserApp for this, together with the AngularJS module.
Check out the getting started guide, or take the course on Codecademy. Here's some examples of how it works:
Login form with error handling:
<form ua-login ua-error="error-msg">
<input name="login" placeholder="Username"><br>
<input name="password" placeholder="Password" type="password"><br>
<button type="submit">Log in</button>
<p id="error-msg"></p>
</form>
User info is accessed using the user service: user.current.email
Or in the template: <span>{{ user.email }}</span>
Signup form with error handling:
<form ua-signup ua-error="error-msg">
<input name="first_name" placeholder="Your name"><br>
<input name="login" ua-is-email placeholder="Email"><br>
<input name="password" placeholder="Password" type="password"><br>
<button type="submit">Create account</button>
<p id="error-msg"></p>
</form>
ua-is-email means that the username is the same as the email.
How to specify which routes that should be public, and which route that is the login form:
$routeProvider.when('/login', {templateUrl: 'partials/login.html', public: true, login: true});
$routeProvider.when('/signup', {templateUrl: 'partials/signup.html', public: true});
The .otherwise() route should be set to where you want your users to be redirected after login. Example:
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'});
Log out link:
<a href="#" ua-logout>Log Out</a>
Hide elements that should only be visible when logged in:
<div ng-show="user.authorized">Welcome {{ user.first_name }}!</div>
And to authenticate to your back-end services, just use user.token() to get the session token and send it with the AJAX request. At the back-end, use the UserApp API to check if the token is valid or not.
If you need any help, just let me know :)

query string to url with Ajax

I want to update my url, based on some checkboxes...
I now have an url that looks like www.mywebsite.com/index.php?city=Amsterdam
The city parameter I use to get data from mysql and display that on my page. On the page I also have some checkboxes. I want to update the url if a user clicks on a checkbox, refresh the page, and use the new url to make a new query to the database.
On http://api.jquery.com/serialize/ I found something I liked ;) The example on the bottom shows what I want. Only this example displays the result. Can someone help me to get that result in the url ?
So after clicking on some checkboxes I would like to have an url that looks like www.mywebsite.com/index.php?city=Amsterdam&single=Single2&multiple=Multiple3&radio=radio1
I know PHP, but my knowledge of jquery and ajax is 0 ;) I used google to search, but after some hours I still didn't find anything use-full. Is there someone who can help me ?
try this
$.ajax({
url:"www.mywebsite.com/index.php"; // path to your url
type: "get", //post or get
data:$('#yourFormID').serialize(),
success:function(){ //function called when ajax is completed
alert('done');
}
});
If you need to refresh the page with a new url, you need to serialize the form when user click on a checkbox and update the url (updating url will refresh page, if you don't want to refresh page, you will have to user pushstate functionality or a hash in the url).
Try this:
var $form = $('form');
$('#my-checkbox').on('click', function() {
window.location.search = '?' + $form.serialize();
});

how can I redirect in .jsp while working with Ajax

I am developing application using Ajax and jsp.
My index.jsp page has HTML code for Login and some Ajax code in javascript. Ajax will call my another CheckLogin.jsp page
CheckLogin.jsp page checks on server for valid username and password. It returns "success" if it's valid otherwise will return message stating "username or password is not valid."
Now, when username and passwrod is valid, instead of success, I want to redirect the page to "Home.jsp" what should I do?
I am new to jsp. I appreciate your help on this.
JSP code gets run once on the server before it goes to the client, so JSP/JSTL cannot do a redirect following the success or otherwise of an AJAX call (without a full page refresh - which obviates the use of AJAX). You should to do the redirect with Javascript:
if (success) {
var successUrl = "Home.jsp"; // might be a good idea to return this URL in the successful AJAX call
window.location.href = successUrl;
}
On successful AJAX call/validation, the browser window will reload with the new URL (effectively a redirect).
Since I don't see your code, you can integrate this somewhere inside your validation :
<%
pageContext.forward("logged.jsp");
%>
function Edit() {
var allVals = $('#NEWFORMCampaignID').val();
if (allVals > 0) {
window.location = '/SMS/PrepareSMS?id='+allVals;
}
else
alert("Invalid campaign to Edit")
}
In order to redirect using Button click and pass some parameters, you can call the Controller Path(#RequestMapping(value="/SMS/PrepareSMS")) and then handle it there..

codeigniter get URL after ajax

I am trying to get the URL i see on my browser after i do an ajax request but the problem is that it changes the URL with the Ajax URL.
ex.
i am on domain.com/user/username
and the ajax URL that i call is in domain.com/posts/submit
when i echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on the posts controller in submit function it will display the second URL and not the first... how can i assure and get the first inside the ajax function that its 100% valid and not changed by the user to prevent any bad action?
Thanks
There is HTTP_REFERER but I don't know if that works for javascript requests. Another problem of this: It won't work for all browsers.
You could try the following:
1.) As the user visits domain.com/user/username the current URL is saved with a token - let's say 5299sQA332 - into the database and the token is provided through PHP to Javascript
2.) The ajax request will send this token along with the other variables needed to the controller through POST
3.) In your ajax controller you search the database for the given token 5299sQA332 and there you have your first URL and you can be damn sure, that it hasn't been manupulated
:)
If I understand you correctly, you want to make sure the ajax call is coming from the page it is supposed to be on? In that case just pass a token with the call.
In the controller function set a token variable in session;
public function username() {
$this->session->set_userdata('ajax_token', time());
}
Then in the view with the js;
$.ajax({
url: '/user/username',
type: 'post',
data: 'whatever=bob&token='+<?php echo $this->session->userdata('ajax_token'),
success: function( data ) {
},
error: function( data ) {
}
});
Then in you form validation, do a custome callback to check they are the same.
Have you looked at CodeIgniter's Input Class ?
$this->input->get('something', TRUE);
i used javascript for it and it seems to work... hope not to have any problems in the future with it...
ps: i dont get why my other answer was deleted.. thats the answer anyway.
