I was able to successfully get form-based auth to work with your example scenario, however, my own test case does not. I still simply go directly to the login screen. I'm sure it has to do with the proxyremoteurl and proxylocalpath args, but I have not seen any detailed doc on how they work.

SSOReverseProxyIFramePortlet Suggest using the second one, SSOReverseProxyIFramePortlet as it gives you features not available in the older SSOIFramePortlet such as auto-resizing and form-based authentication (what you are after) I tested with SSOReverseProxyIFramePortlet and it worked in the example that comes with Jetspeed, but it takes a little bit of configuration. First, ensure your Tomcat will need this attribute set in the <Connector> element of server.xml: emptySessionPath="true" more detail here: http://portals.apache.org/applications/webcontent/index.html If you had to change server.xml setting, then restart your server I took these steps to verify SSO with the example form-based login that comes with Jetspeed: 1. login as admin 2. navigate to the Jetspeed Administration space, SSO Management page, or just go here: http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/ui/Administrative/sso-admin.psml Add a new Site with following parameters: Site Name: Form Example Site URL: http://localhost:8080/j2-admin/examples/formauth.jsp Field name for User ID: user Field name For Password value: pass Press Save Add a new credential for this site in the portlet on the right side (SSO Details): Portal Principal: admin Remote Principal: admin Remote Credential: admin Press Add You can verify that the remote credential was added for the admin user by going here: http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/ui/my-account.psml see the portlet on the right "SSO Change Passwords", a remote site entry should be there named "Form Example" Next, you can use the Toolbox to find the Reverse Proxy Iframe Portlet by searching on "iframe" and then selecting it from there and adding to a page. To make things simple, I just added a page and then added the Reverse Proxy Iframe Portlet there. At first this portlet seems to want to use Basic Authentication, so just hit cancel when challenged. I then switched to edit mode (pencil icon), and entered the following preferences: TITLE: My SSO Test SRC: http://localhost:${serverPort}${contextPath}/examples/formauth.jsp Press Save You should see in your portlet content something like: "Hello, admin. You have been authorized by form-based authentication !!!" Give that a try and see if it works. Then, move on to your specific IFrame source and let us know how it goes... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean (mailgw2:E659D1E6FC.D1395).
