Hi Mohit I think I understood now what you try to do. So App 1 is not an XWiki, and only App 2 is XWiki. In that case I think you will have to write your own authenticator. Since I never had the need to do that I can't tell you how, just point you to the XWiki documentation on authentication. There you can find also a chapter on custom authentications. http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication
I hope you can find what you need there Edo On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 4:53 PM, mohit gupta <motgu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Edo for quick reply. its not an intranet application.
