How To Create A Sage SalesLogix Provider Plugin For Custom SecurityPosted by: Justin Kuehlthau in MyBlog Tagged in: Training

- Open up visual studio and create a new project.
- File -> New Project - Visual Basic -> Class library.
- Add a project reference to "SLXDBEngine 1.0 type library."
- Right Click the Project in the Solution Explorer -> Add Reference -> COM Tab -> "SLXDBEngine 1.0 type library."
- Add new item to project -> class named VBSecurityBroker.vb (Case sensitive)
- Right Click the Project in the Solution Explorer -> Add -> New Item -> Class
- In Class, select all and paste code snippet over current text. See below for Code Snippet.
- Add new Class called VBQuerySecurity.vb
- Right Click the Project in the Solution Explorer -> Add -> New Item -> Class
- In Class, select all and paste code snippet over current text. See below for Code Snippet.
- Insert your custom code into the VBQuerySecurity.vb code where it says "'''YOUR SECURITY CODE GOES HERE"
- Delete class1
- Save all and build.
- Look for build succeeded in the lower left corner.
- View files in My DocumentsVS2005Projects...Debug. We are worried about ProjectName.dll and ProjectName.pdb.
- Copy both files into C:Program FilesSaleslogix
- Create a new .udl file to connect to your target SalesLogix database.
- Right click on the desktop and create a new text file.
- Rename the text file Saleslogix.udl. (Or any name you would like to use.)
- Double click the file and fill in the information, making sure to use the SalesLogix OLE DB Provider.
- Copy udl file to C:Program FilesSaleslogix.
- Create or edit an existing .xml file.
- The class file .xml file code is below.
- Update the xml code to match your Project Name and a new SalesLogix ID.
- Copy xml file to C:Program FilesSaleslogix.
- Copy Interop.SLXDBEngineLib.dll, PluginWrapper.dll, and SLXPluginBuilder.exe to C:Program FilesSaleslogix.
- I found these files in the Sage SalesLogix class files. They can also be found our built with the files in the SalesLogix DVD's SDK Examples folder.
- Open cmd prompt.
- cd C:Program FilesSaleslogix
- Run: "slxPluginBuilder.exe -n SLXDemo.dll"
- Creates wrapper for the dll, "DLLName.tlb"
- Run: "slxproviderplugin.exe -m SLXDemo.xml --udl new.udl"
- Inserts the value into db and sets it up to run when security is needed.
- Case sensitive
- This information is stored in the SLXOLEDBPLUGIN table.
- Can set SLXOLEDBPLUGIN.ENABLED to false if we want to turn off security plugin.
- The plugin(dll) security information is stored in the SLXOLEDBPLUGINDATA table.
- Log in and see if changes took effect.
This example shows how to create a dll file that will augment security in SalesLogix by wrapping around the existing security of Saleslogix. This modifies sql statements as they come through the SalesLogix Provider. So you have: If this table is in the join, add to the where clause. In the example below, a user is only allowed to see contacts where they are set as the Contact’s Account Manager (Contact.AccountManagerID Field).
vbSecurityBroker Code Snippet:
Imports System
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports SLXDBEngineLib
Imports System.Diagnostics
_
Public Class VbSecurityBroker : Implements ISLXSecurityBroker
Dim m_securityInit As SLXSECURITYINIT
Public Function GetSecurityObject(ByVal pSQLQuery As SLXDBEngineLib.SLXSQLQuery) _
As ISLXQuerySecurity Implements ISLXSecurityBroker.GetSecurityObject
If pSQLQuery.SQLType = SLXDBEngineLib.SLXSQLTYPE.SQLTYPE_SELECT Then
Dim result As ISLXQuerySecurity = New VbQuerySecurity(m_securityInit, pSQLQuery)
Return result
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End Function
Public Sub Initialize(ByRef pSecurityInit As SLXDBEngineLib.SLXSECURITYINIT) _
Implements SLXDBEngineLib.ISLXSecurityBroker.Initialize
m_securityInit = pSecurityInit
End Sub
Public Sub Uninitialize() Implements SLXDBEngineLib.ISLXSecurityBroker.Uninitialize
End Sub
End Class
vbQuerySecurity.vb Code Snippet:
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports SLXDBEngineLib
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class VbQuerySecurity : Implements ISLXQuerySecurity
Dim m_sqlQuery As SLXSQLQuery
Dim m_securityInit As SLXSECURITYINIT
Public Sub New(ByVal securityInit As SLXSECURITYINIT, ByVal sqlQuery As SLXSQLQuery)
m_securityInit = securityInit
m_sqlQuery = sqlQuery
End Sub
Public Function Secure() As QRYSECRESULT Implements ISLXQuerySecurity.Secure
Dim res As QRYSECRESULT = QRYSECRESULT.QRYSEC_OK
Dim cond As String
Dim qSelect As SLXSelect = CType(m_sqlQuery, SLXSelect)
If qSelect Is Nothing Then Return res
For Each stmt As SelectStmt In qSelect.SelectStmts
For Each join As SQLJoin In stmt.SQLFrom.SQLJoins
'''YOUR SECURITY CODE GOES HERE
'''EXAMPLE:
'''If join.Name = "CONTACT" Then
'''cond = String.Format("{0}.ACCOUNTMANAGERID = '{1}'", join.Alias, '''m_securityInit.SLXUserID)
'''stmt.SQLWhere.AddConditionFromString(cond, '''SLXSQL_CONDITIONAL.SQLCONDITION_AND)
End If
Next
Next
Return res
End Function
End Class
VBSLXSecurity.xml: (Put <> tags around the first line)
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?
