Possible to access and pass user credentials to other Application?
Hello,
is it possible to somehow access the username and password typed in the login screen, once they are send to the server (i.e. some server side hook "onLogin")?
We have a use case, where we need to pass on the user credentials to another application (intranet). Since we are currently on Tomcat, I dont see how we could use LTPA (from what I understand that is WAS SSO configuration dependent).
The application we are accessing supports passing username and password (clear text) for authentication. Since both RTC as well as the other app authenticate with ActiveDirectory reusing the credentials from RTC login would work fine ... if we could somehow get a hold of them.
Thanks for any hints.

Authentication for Jazz-based applications is handled by the application server (Tomcat or WAS), not Jazz code. So the Jazz application code itself cannot get its hands on user credentials. In other words, it's not possible to do what you are asking. See https://jazz.net/library/article/75 for an overview of how authentication works.
Jazz applications use the OAuth protocol for authenticating application-to-application requests, on behalf of the end user. If the application you wish to access supports OAuth, perhaps you could use that approach as well.
