SQL adapter authentication in mobilefirst

I am using the SQL adapter for user login in mobilefirst server.

How can i store user login credentials permanently in my hybrid app?
Once the user exit the app need to keep the login details in app.

My example code:

// Global variables
    var userid;   
    var useremail; 


    function loginsuccess(result) // on success function from SQL adapter      
    {
    var user  = result.invocationResult.resultSet;     
    userid = user[0].playerID;     
    useremail = user[0].email;     
    $.mobile.changePage("#gamepage"); // login to admin page    
    }

In this code how can i keep the user information after exit from hybrid app.(Once the user login don't ask the user to login again).

If you want to persist the user information in the device, you need to implement that; there is nothing built-in to accomplish that.

You have several options:

1) HTML5 localStorage (a W3C standard, google it), but it has issues:

  • If the user will decide to clear the application cache, this will be gone
  • It will store the user information in clear text, not very secure
  • Limited to 5MB or so

2) IBM MobileFirst Platform's Encrypted Offline Cache, basically localStorage but provides encryption. But it too has some issues:

  • Deprecated (will be removed in future releases)
  • If the user will decide to clear the application cache, this will be gone
  • Limited to 5MB or so

3) IBM MobileFirst Platform's JSONStore - what you should probably pick:

It also sounds like you want to implement "Remember Me" functionality.
Note that such functionality reduces the application security...
