Create a class named MobiLinkAuth and write an authenticateUser method.

The MobiLinkAuth class includes the authenticateUser method used for the authenticate_user synchronization event. The authenticate_user event provides parameters for the user and password. You return the authentication result in the authentication_status inout parameter.

Use the following code for your server application:

import ianywhere.ml.script.*;

public class MobiLinkAuth {
    public void authenticateUser (
        ianywhere.ml.script.InOutInteger authentication_status,
        String user,
        String pwd,
        String newPwd ) {

        if (user.substring(0,2).equals("128")) {
            // success: an auth status code of 1000
            authentication_status.setValue(1000);
        } else {
            // fail: an authentication_status code of 4000
            authentication_status.setValue(4000);
        }
    }
}

This code illustrates a simple case of custom user authentication. Authentication succeeds when the client accesses the consolidated database using a user name that starts with "128".

Save your code.

This tutorial assumes c:\MLauth as the working directory for server-side components. Save the file as MobiLinkAuth.java in this directory.
