[Cosign-discuss] Needs parameters to configure cosign as Single Sign-On method

2013-03-06 Thread Preeyakorn Slawski
I have deployed Cosign on BI Publisher successfully, but I still have to
enable SSO to make it work.

To do so, I will have to enter the following information:

 

How to get user name:   (The options are HTTP Header, HTTP Parameter, HTTP
Cookie, Server Variable)

User Name Parameter:  

How to get user locale:  (The options are HTTP Header, HTTP Parameter,
HTTP Cookie, Server Variable)

User Locale Parameter:

 

I guess HTTP Cookie is the option for both. Is that correct?

What should I enter as User Name Parameter and User Locale Parameter?

 

Thanks

No, cosign does not store any sensitive/valuable information in 
cookies.  This is one of the benefits of cosign.


The cosign module will set the server variable REMOTE_USER to be the 
username of the authenticated user.  The IP address of the remote user 
-- which can be used to determine the user's locale unless the user is 
using a proxy or VPN -- is given by the REMOTE_ADDR server variable, if 
you are using Apache HTTP Server.  (If this is not what you mean by 
"user locale", please be more specific).
