Displaying a simple error page from a flow

[Wessel, Keith]

Circling back around. Scott mentioned to me yesterday that there's an easier way to do this after all that he'd forgotten about. The multiFactorAuthenticationContext class does have a setEvent method, and that does the trick. In short:

Have your MFA script call mfaCtx.setEvent("someCustomEvent") then return null for the next flow. Add the custom event to conf/authn/authn-events-flow.xml. Finally, either handle the event inside error.vm or create a different velocity template and link your event to it in conf/errors.xml.

No need to create a custom flow.

Tested and working for me.

Thanks for finding this, Scott.

I still intend to file an issue for fixing the included example script and its logic for getting the subject. Haven't done that yet.

You're not calling the function, you're setting the function itself as the principal name.

custom["usernameLookup"].apply(input)
