I'm not sure what you mean by "authenticate locally". Did you mean that he needs to be at the right machine in order to play the game. If so, the answer is "no".
The current flow is: 1) User logs into the website. 2) User launches the game via a button. 3) User re-enters his username and password 4) user plays the game. I want to get rid of step 3 and have the player start playing the game right after step 2. Sorry if I didn't answer your question. -----Original Message----- From: Dmitriy Kopylenko [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 4:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [cas-user] Launching a stand-alone application from a web page Does the exe executable require user to authenticate locally?
