Thanks David. I've one more question. The SSOWebContent Portlet doesn't seem
to work for all external sites. The site that require cookies fails to
sign-on. For instance, I configured sites such as gmail, webmail(outlook), which doesn't login at all. The nytimes.com worked since it was a simple form post and no cookies are exchanged during the post. Please let me know
if this an open issue. Thanks.


Each form-based SSO works a little differently. There are often additional form parameters that need to be sent. Sometimes there is Javascript involved, or tokens from HTTP headers. Jetspeed does provide configuration for handling additional form parameters, including tokens. However the Jetspeed SSO solution doesn't work in every case. We are still actively developing in the trunk and adding sites as we progress. We have recently authenticated against JIRA. I think it would be interesting to try the major mail providers. If you want to try that out yourself, or create a JIRA issue for it, we can try to get to it before the next release.
