User management in Talend

[Anonymous]

Hi the community,
I want to deploy Talend as an ETL , i have already did the jobs for the processing. but my problem is that i want to manage users in Talend.
I want to secure it by forcing a user to connect to Talend(login+password) first before launching the JOB.
Is it possible? or is there another way to secure my jobs ?
thank you in advance

Hi avdbrink,
I followed your process and calculated the hashvalue 1st using a dummy java: it gave me "dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964" for "Password".
Then what is the process after? because when i tried to paste this hash value in the equals() funtion is gave me error
thank you

Hi,
You could use somthing like this for your If statement:

((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT")).equals("dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964")

What error did you get?

Hi,
I'm very sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
The correct code should be:

MD5.getHashString((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT")).equals("dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964")

In the previous code the entered password will not be crypted and thus won't match the crypted version.

Super, Arno its working !
One more thing, is it possible to have more than 1 condition is IF link(case when there is more than 1 password) ?
The purpose is to have more than 1 user executing the job, so is it possible to have many passwords ? If yes how can i implement it?

Hi,
You could use a structure like this:

MD5.getHashString((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT")).equals("hash_of_1st_password") || MD5.getHashString((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT")).equals("hash_of_2nd_password") || MD5.getHashString((String)globalMap.get("tMsgBox_1_RESULT")).equals("hash_of_3rd_password")

and so on...
Another option would be to use some more extended functionality where you could use some database lookup to perform the check if the user entered a correct password, but that would be a completely different approach.
