Setting the User

Set User

There are some options on setting user with the Rasterex Web SDK. If the server configuration allow you to override the current user you can use the following method.

    RxCore.setUser(sign, disp);

• sign: Unique identifier for the user.
• disp: Friendly display name to present for the user.

Using this option require the below permission is set in the defaultconfig.xml file.

<CanChangeSignature>True</CanChangeSignature>

---

If you are running with a more strict security and CanChangeSignature is not enabled.

<CanChangeSignature>False</CanChangeSignature>

You can set the user data before the viewer is initialized using RxCore.setJSONConfiguration. This method can be used to override the configuarion data loaded from the server.

    RxCore.setJSONConfiguration(JSNObj);

Example of JSON object were UserName and DisplayName as retrieved from defaultconfig.xml is overridden. For these objects the value for Command should always be "GetConfig".

    let JSNObj = [
      {
          Command: "GetConfig",
          UserName: "Demo",
          DisplayName : "Demo User"
          
      }
    ];

A third option is to replace the server configuration source with an alternative URL. This must be set before calling initialize.

    RxCore.setConfiguration(szURL);

• szURL: A valid URL that returns an XML structure. See defaultconfig.xml on how to set up the XML source.

User Authentication

If access to the server is restricted using a password and username the RxCore.setAuthorization method can be used to provide the client access to the server resource.

This is normally called before initializing the viewer:

RxCore.setAuthorization(type, token);

• type: Authentication method as a string (e.g., "Basic").
• token: Base64-encoded token.
