So my boss comes to me the other day and says, "I want to provide our clients with a unified login for all the various web based tools we provide." I said that I could.
We're building a new front-end that is going to accept a client login and then provide links to the various tools we offer. My thought is to tie the unified login via a database to the login credentials for the other sites. There is going to be a "proxy page" that will handle the HTTP calls to the other sites so session consistency won't be an issue. My big issue now is how to call a page that uses Windows (or windows-like) authentication. Is it as simple as passing the username and password parameters for a CFHTTP call? The sites that I'm going to be linking to use either the IIS authentication or web form authentication. I know I can fudge the login for the web form with a CFHTTP post... has anyone else built a web proxy like this? Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:274655 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
