Dear List,
We are using Tomcat 4.1.xx. We are NOT using the built in security framework
which comes with TC. In the login.jsp page the user/password is validated by
an external organisation wide process, which returns simply true or false.
If the user is valid, the user is forwarded to the application JSP pages.
The user can not access the application pages at will, because the pages
check to see if a particular session flag is checked.
Now my problem. I have been asked to assess if single sign On (SSO) could be
used to create a URL link to another similar webapp's JSP page (TC with no
security framework), where the user doesnt need to login for a second time.
There is not so much info. about SSO around, but from what I gather it
persists login info. inside a session which is passed between web
applications. My first problem is that "my application" never knows what the
password is. Can anyone see a possibilty of using SSO for me, allowing
direct access to another webapps JSP page with out re-login ?
Would really appreciate any help on this. Especially ones with info. more
than simply "No" ;-)
kind regards,
Ben
p.s. might be that the 2nd app has to create a web-service or something to
provide the information for us!!
