Form replay
===========
Presentation
------------
Form replay allows you to open a session on a protected application by
filling a HTML POST login form and autosubmitting it, without asking
anything to the user.
.. danger::
This kind of SSO mechanism is not clean, and can lead to
problems, like local password blocking, local session not well closed,
etc.
Please always try to find another solution to protect your application
with LL::NG. At least, check if it is not a
:doc:`known application<applications>`, or
:doc:`try to adapt its source code<selfmadeapplication>`.
If you configure form replay with LL::NG, the Handler will detect forms
to fill, add a javascript in the html page to fill form fields with
dummy data and submit it, then intercept the POST request and add POST
data in the request body.
POST data can be static values or computed from user's session.
.. tip::
To post user's password, you must enable
:doc:`password storing<passwordstore>`. In this case you will be able to
use ``$_password`` to fill any password POST field.
Configuration
-------------
You should grab some information:
- URI of the html page which contains the form
- URI the html form is sent to
- Does the html page load jQuery ? If not, grab a jQuery URL reachable
by user (any version over jQuery 1.0 is suitable)
- are there several html forms in the page ? If so, get a jQuery
selector for the form you want to post
- is user required to click on a button, for example in order to
perform some script ? If so, get a jQuery selector for that button
- names and values of the fields you want to control
If you don't know jQuery selector, just be aware that they are similar
to css selectors: for example, button#foo points to the html button
whose id is "foo", and .bar points to all html elements of css class
"bar".
For example:
- Form page URI: /login.php
- Target URI: /process.php (if you let this parameter empty, target URI
is supposed to be the same as form page URI)
- jQuery URL:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js (if
you let this parameter empty, jQuery is supposed to be already
loaded; you can also set ``default`` to point to jQuery URL of LL::NG
portal)
- jQuery form selector: #loginForm (if you let this parameter empty,
browser will fill and submit any html form)
- jQuery button selector: button.validate (if you let this parameter
empty, the form will be submitted but no button will be clicked; if
you set it to "none", no button will be clicked and the form will be
filled but not submitted)
- Fields:
- postuid: $uid
- postmail: $mail
- poststatic: 'static'
Go in Manager, ``Virtual Hosts`` » ``virtualhost`` » ``Form replay`` and click
on ``New form replay``.

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js
- **jQuery form selector**: #loginForm
- **jQuery button selector**: button.validate
Then click on ``New variable`` and add all data with their values, for
example:

You can define more than one form replay URL per virtual
host.
