James,
The logic behind the
approach should work fine on different platforms. I only
use ASP/VB because of our environment and I am comfortable with the
languages. This could be have been written in Java, for
example, on a different platform.
There are several external requirements needed to make
this work:
- Web programming language that supports one of the ARS
APIs.
- Web server needs to be able to communicate the
username of the currently logged in network user to your SSO web
application. I think almost all can do this. However, users coming from
the internet might not work because capturing the network name could produce
mixed results (ie. someone could spoof the username if they are not logged into
your internal network).
- A separate application
(or even all in Remedy) that creates and stores the encrypted
passwords. There are many encryption libraries available or you
could create this yourself.
- SSO application needs to decrypt the
password.
Everything else is just straight ARS. For example,
embedding the username and password in the URL.
HTH. I think if each of the four requirements
listed above can be met then you could create this in a few days. If you
have questions feel free to contact me on or off list.

How hard do you think this would be to extend into the UNIX world?
