So I have an Angular App that has user login and authentication. When they login they go to a separate url and service, that's not a part of the angular template (not my choice, not my design, don't have freedom to change it).
So we have our app url at https://my.app.com/appname
And the login url (Which redirects to another URL that has the Spring CAS stuff)
https://my.app.com:8082/api/applications/appname/user/login
Which redirects to
https://yours.app.com/CAS/login.
After a successful login, we go back to the original app page.
However, I need to somehow get the Cookie that has the username of the user logging in to the app.
That cookie is a response cookie tied to https://my.app.com:8082/api/applications/appname/user/login
but not the main url of the app.
So how do I retrieve this cookie, preferably using ngCookie?
For reference here's the backend code that handles this.
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/login", headers = "Accept=application/json")
public @ResponseBody HttpServletResponse login(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
// toLog(Level.INFO, "Logging user in.");
String referingURL = request.getHeader("referer");
_LOG.debug("Referer: " + referingURL);
try {
String user = "123456789";
user = SecurityUtils.getCurrentUsername();
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("USERNAME", user);
userCookie.setSecure(true);
response.addCookie(userCookie);
response.sendRedirect(referingURL);
return response;
} catch (Exception e) {
// toLog(Level.ERROR, "Error logging user in", e);
throw new ResourceNotFoundException(e);
}
}
Where that Cookie userCookie line is.. that's the cookie I want to get.
In even simpler terms.
The url https://my.app.com:8082/api/applications/appname/user/login
Has a response Cookie with a key called USERNAME, with the value of username I want.
The app lives on https://my.app.com/appname, and I need to access the previously mentioned cookie.
