A while ago Unicon and Datatel co-developed an extension to WebAdvisor and Academus (uPortal) to securely log on the portal users to WebAdvisor.  This involved some shared secret between the portal and WebAdvisor, but I am positive we didn't pass the credentials from the portal.  This WebAdvisor customization is proprietary Datatel software.

With the number of WebAdvisor installations, it is possible that it supports external authentication, but that's only my guess.  Only Datatel and its documentation can tell you that with authority.

i have the code referenced in this posting, although i have not tested
it:

does anyone know if that code was ever contributed back?

Subject: Re: First Time poster... CAS + WebAdvisor? Anyone?

Good question.
Sorry if its out of the blue.

WebAdvisor is a product of Datatel's.  
I work for the University of the Arts, we're a Datatel 
school, as in, our ERP/Student Information System is by 
Datatel, and they're Web front end, Webadvisor is how our 
students register for classes, check their grades, fill out 
personal contact information etc...  staff and faculty have 
their own abilities... budget controls, faculty can grade 
students, etc...

It's a Java application that runs on Tomcat, though I'm sure 
many java containers could handle it.

It authenticates its users against our Active Directory 
system, and current we are running uPortal as our Single Sign 
On system for our webmail interface (owa), webadvisor, and sakai.    

Hope that helps. 

Thanks

	I'm not familiar with WebAdvisor?  What language is it 
written in?  Does it have an API available for authentication?
	
	Thanks
