Multiple Credential Sets Per Adapter / Accessing Adapter's CredentialCollection Properties At Runtime
Setup:
Our project has adapters that are shared for multiple instances of that site. So Adapter X is used on sites A, B and C, depending on the current brand. The objects (including the login controls) are shared between all sites (generic match rules). Each of these sites may have a different set of credentials.
Issue:
Users can potentially access site A then site C, requiring different credentials for each site. Since the controls are shared, there is no way to tell the adapter which set of credentials to use when the control is created. I was hoping for a domain restriction on the credential set itself, but the RequiresDomain seems to be used to toggle the option for additional login data. We'd prefer not to have to interrogate each adapter's login page sites uniquely.
Proposed Workaround:
Our idea was to add a credential set for each brand, flip them all to AutoFillOnCreate = False, and then on brand change toggle the target credential set to AutoFillOnCreate = True when that brand is enabled.
Proposed setup (Site B uses same controls)

Question:
Is there any documentation on writing custom scripts to access the adapter's credential collections (the collection or methods to work with the collection are not exposed at the adapter level), or is there an alternate approach that could work for this setup?

Try the CredentialStore component

I was able to work out:
public bool SetCredKey(OpenSpan.Adapters.Adapter adapter, string key)
{
return ToggleAdapterKey(adapter.Credentials, key);
}
private bool ToggleAdapterKey(OpenSpan.ApplicationFramework.AssistedSignOn.CredentialCollection creds, string key)
{
try
{
bool result = false;
string resultString = "";

try
{
bool result = false;
string resultString = "";
foreach (var cred in creds)
{
if (cred.ApplicationKey == key)
{
cred.AutoFillOnCreate = true;
result = true;
resultString += String.Format("{0} set TRUE\n", cred.ApplicationKey);
}
else
{
cred.AutoFillOnCreate = false;
resultString += String.Format("{0} set FALSE\n", cred.ApplicationKey);
}
}
MessageBox.Show(resultString);
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return false;
}
}
Initially it appears to work correctly. However, after a few toggles it seems to stop working, even though the properties register correctly (ie. CredSetX.AutoFillOnCreate = True, CredSetY.AutoFillOnCreate = False, CredSetZ.AutoFillOnCreate = False). It will treat it as if all are = True and prompt / attempt to login with multiple credential sets. I've also tried accessing the credentials collection from the WebAdapter level (for IE adapters) and had the same results:
public bool SetCredKey(OpenSpan.Adapters.Web.WebAdapter adapter, string key)
{
return ToggleAdapterKey(adapter.Credentials, key);
}
For now I guess we'll use the AsoManager.GetCredentials(key) along with our original ASO automations for any adapters that have multiple credential sets, but it would be nice to have a homogeneous solution for our ASO adapters.
