CMS SSO type thing
|
|
| richie_hackett@hotmail.com 2006-06-21, 1:18 pm |
| We have been asked to implement CMS into our companies 3rd party
portal.
The portal will allow users direct access if they are logged into
Active Directory which means they will not need to enter their username
and password. The business really want to use the workflow approval
and defined page owner features
The obvious problem is that the Portal gateways all content it
provides, therefore the Windows SSO information will not get passed
onto CMS server.
Is there a way around this?
Could we maybe grab the user identity and pass that value through to
the CMS server and then use the AuthenticateUsingUserHandle to
re-authenticate them?

| Hi Richie,
you could implement something like this using custom authentication (see
MCMS documentation for details).
Be aware that a mapped NT/AD account would be required where username and
password are known or retrievable by MCMS to do the impersonation.
Cheers,
Stefan

| We would need to know the actual users username and password??
As this is kind of an SSO solution the users wont be telling us that

| Hi Richi,
then you might have to implement a proxy user for this.
So a different user that will be mapped to your user using custom
authentication.
Cheers,
Stefan
