Coveo AuthenticationProvider Component (CoveoAuthenticationProvider)

The AuthenticationProvider component makes it possible to execute queries with an identity that the end user can obtain using an authentication provider configured on the Coveo REST Search API (see Claims Authentication).

When necessary, this component handles redirecting the browser to the address that starts the authentication process.

You can use the data-tab attribute to enable the AuthenticationProvider component only for the tabs of your search interface that require authentication (see the Tab component).

Methods

debugInfo

  • debugInfo(): any

disable

  • disable(): void
  • Disable the component. Normally this means that the component will not execute handlers for the framework events (query events, for example). Components are enabled by default on creation.

    Returns void

enable

  • enable(): void
  • Enable the component. Normally this means that the component will execute handlers for the framework events (query events, for example). Components are enabled by default on creation.

    Returns void

getBindings

Static get

  • get(element: HTMLElement, componentClass?: any, noThrow?: boolean): BaseComponent
  • Get the bound component to the given HTMLElement. Throws an assert if the HTMLElement has no component bound, unless using the noThrow argument.
    If there is multiple component bound to the current HTMLElement, you must specify the component class.

    Parameters

    • element: HTMLElement

      HTMLElement for which to get the bound component.

    • Optional componentClass: any

      Optional component class. If the HTMLElement has multiple components bound, you must specify which one you are targeting.

    • Optional noThrow: boolean

      Boolean option to tell the method to not throw on error.

    Returns BaseComponent

Properties

bind

Allows the component to bind events and execute them only when it is enabled.

type

{Coveo.ComponentEvents}

componentOptionsModel

componentOptionsModel: ComponentOptionsModel

Contains the state of options for different components. Mainly used by ResultLink.

componentStateModel

componentStateModel: ComponentStateModel

Contains the state of different components (enabled vs disabled). Allows to get/set values. Triggers component state event when modified. Each component can listen to those events.

disabled

disabled: boolean

A disabled component will not participate in the query, or listen to ComponentEvents.

type

{boolean}

logger

logger: Logger

Allows component to log in the dev console.

queryController

queryController: QueryController

Contains the singleton that allows to trigger queries.

queryStateModel

queryStateModel: QueryStateModel

Contains the state of the query. Allows to get/set values. Trigger query state event when modified. Each component can listen to those events.

root

root: HTMLElement

A reference to the root HTMLElement (the SearchInterface).

searchInterface

searchInterface: SearchInterface

A reference to the root of every component, the SearchInterface.

Static ID

ID: string

The static ID that each component needs in order to be identified.
For example, SearchButton -> static ID: SearchButton -> className: CoveoSearchButton

Accessors

usageAnalytics

Component Options

caption

caption: string

Specifies the display name of the authentication provider. This is the name that you want to appear in the user interface when the end user is logging in.

Default value is the name option value.

Markup configuration example(s) :
data-caption='foo'

name

name: string

Specifies the name of the authentication provider.

See SAML Authentication.

Markup configuration example(s) :
data-name='foo'

showIFrame

showIFrame: boolean

If the useIFrame option is true, specifies whether to make the authentication <iframe> visible to the user (inside a popup).

When the underlying authentication provider requires no user interaction (for example, when a user authenticates using Windows authentication along with SharePoint claims), setting this option to false reduces the visual impact of the authentication process.

Default value is true.

Only effective when

useIFrame is truthy

Default

true

Markup configuration example(s) :
data-show-i-frame='true'
data-show-i-frame='false'

useIFrame

useIFrame: boolean

Specifies whether to use an <iframe> to host the chain of redirection that make up the authentication process.

Using an <iframe> prevents leaving the search page as part of the authentication process. However, some login providers refuse to load in an <iframe>.

Default value is false.

Default

false

Markup configuration example(s) :
data-use-i-frame='true'
data-use-i-frame='false'

Constructors

constructor

  • Creates a new AuthenticationProvider component.

    Parameters

    • element: HTMLElement

      The HTMLElement on which to instantiate the component.

    • Default value options: IAuthenticationProviderOptions = {}

      The options for the AuthenticationProvider component.

    • Optional bindings: IComponentBindings

      The bindings that the component requires to function normally. If not set, these will be automatically resolved (with a slower execution time).

    • Optional _window: Window

    Returns AuthenticationProvider
