RE: How To Lock User Account If he Failed to give Correct Password in three attempts

["Raghupathy, Gurumoorthy" <Gu...@nielsen.com>]

Store the count in the session using appropriate name .... 
Once that is above the limit then write the code to lock it ... .


One suggestion though ..... 
All business logic code in single action....  That is not a good design
... 
Cant you make your business objects more layered ?

Subject: How To Lock User Account If he Failed to give Correct Password
in three attempts


Hi Struts User Community,

 

                        Here I am sending my login action code (part
only) and My DAO Code. Now I have to lock the user if he failed to enter
correct user name and password in three attempts.

 

How can I implement this in struts?

 

Please help me with some sample code or rough idea?

 

 

 

String username = ((LoginForm) form).getUsername();

                                    String password = ((LoginForm)
form).getPassword();                                

                                                                        

                                    String newPassword =
com.dfs.common.helper.PasswordService.getInstance().encrypt(password);


                                                            

 

                                    AccessControlDAO accessDAO = new
AccessControlDAO();

                                    UserTo userDTO =
accessDAO.getUser(username, newPassword);

                                    

                                    if(userDTO==null){


                                                throw new
LoginFailedException("LoginFailedException");

                                    }

 

            

 

 

 

 

public UserTo getUser(String username, String password)throws
BaseAppException{

                        

                        DBConnection ora = DBConnection.getInstance();


                        Connection conn = ora.createConnection();


                        

                        PreparedStatement stmt = null;

                        ResultSet rs = null;

                        UserTo userDTO = null;

Query = "select * from SYSTEM_USER where SERVICE_NO=? and PASSWORD=?";


                        if (conn != null) {

                                    try{

                                                stmt =
conn.prepareStatement(Query);

                                                stmt.setString(1,
username);

                                                stmt.setString(2,
password);

                                                rs =
stmt.executeQuery();

                                                while(rs.next()){

                                                            userDTO =
new UserTo();

 
userDTO.setServiceNo(rs.getString("SERVICE_NO"));

 
userDTO.setEmpName(rs.getString("EMP_NAME"));

                                                            }

 


                                    } catch (SQLException sqle) {

                                                throw new
BaseDBException("BaseDBException");

                                    } finally {


                                                try{

 
ora.closeConnection(conn);

 
stmt.close();

                                                            rs.close();

                                                }catch(SQLException e){

                                                            throw new
BaseDBException("BaseDBException");


                                                }

                                    }

                        }else{

                                    

                                    throw new
BaseDBException("BaseDBException");                                  

                        }

                        

                        return userDTO;

                        

            }
