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.

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 - duran On Nov 5, 2007, at 9:49 PM, Scott Battaglia wrote: Duran, I'm not familiar with WebAdvisor? What language is it written in?
