How to Access other values from Login Form using Acegi Plugin in Grails

Question

I want to pass in other hidden values to the server on the form for login. Then I want to be able to do some other computations on the server where I have access to the form hidden parameters and also the newly authenticated user object.

I was hoping to use the onInteractiveAuthenticationSuccessEvent event. However, I cannot find a pointer to the request object in its params anywhere.

BTW, this is my plan for how to pass information from Gigya to do a linkaccount to a acegi user account.

Answer 1

I don't recall the exact syntax, but I'm pretty sure we've used the org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextHolder to access request attributes in the security callback methods...

Answer 2

The first answer got me looking around in the right place.

org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.springsecurity.SecurityRequestHolder.getRequest()

seems to be the best way in the grails plugin to get the request. Thanks for the help Eocdan.
