Hello,

 

I would like advice as to what is the easiest / best way to automate
logon in jetspeed.

 

Jetspeed will be running behind a SSO / filter that is on a different
machine. This SSO application places a cookie in the request which means
that the request comes from an authenticated user. The name and the
contents of the cookie cannot be changed as it is created and used by
other applications. That the user has been authenticated does not mean
that the user exists as a user in the jetspeed portal. There are 2 types
of users for the portal to handle: "authenticated non members" and
"authenticated members". 

 

Based on the loginid that is in the cookie the portal has to look in a
ldap server to check wether that loginid is present. If it is not
present the user is apparently an "authenticated non member", and should
be able to see the portal as a guest without any credentials. In case
the loginid is present, jetspeed portal credentials should be created
and the user should be able to see the portal as someone that is logged
in. The portal never checks any password credentials! It just checks if
the user is in the list of registered user in the ldap server.

 

Based on the above requirements, what are the possible ways to implement
this and what is the best way to follow?

 

As far as I have read through the jetspeed documentation, it usually
assumes that the jetspeed portal is the SSO implementing component
instead of the SSO client that is is in this case.

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Jaron Schut
