Profile manager (v6.1)
The profile manager is meant to deal with the user profile: it can be used to save or restore it.
The profile manager is instantiated from the WebContext
and the SessionStore
.
1) Retrieval
You can use the getProfile()
method to return only one profile and the getProfiles()
method to retrieve all profiles.
The returned profiles are of type UserProfile
, but they should be at least cast as CommonProfile
to retrieve the most common attributes that all profiles share
or to their real types like a FacebookProfile
in case of a Facebook authentication.
You may also use the getProfile(class)
if you already know the type of the user profile.
CasProfile profile = manager.getProfile(CasProfile.class).get();
2) Custom profile managers
By default, the profile manager is the ProfileManager
component.
In some pac4j implementations, there are specific profile managers: UndertowProfileManager
, ShiroProfileManager
, etc.
A custom profile manager can be instantiated via the following factory:
setProfileManagerFactory(final ProfileManagerFactory factory)
.
It can be set at components level (like for the logics) or at the Config
level.
