I have deployed Cosign on BI Publisher successfully, but I still have
to enable SSO to make it work.
To do so, I will have to enter the following information:
How to get user name: (The options are HTTP Header, HTTP Parameter,
HTTP Cookie, Server Variable)
User Name Parameter:
How to get user locale: (The options are HTTP Header, HTTP Parameter,
HTTP Cookie, Server Variable)
User Locale Parameter:
I guess HTTP Cookie is the option for both. Is that correct?
What should I enter as User Name Parameter and User Locale Parameter?
No, cosign does not store any sensitive/valuable information in
cookies. This is one of the benefits of cosign.
The cosign module will set the server variable REMOTE_USER to be the
username of the authenticated user. The IP address of the remote user
-- which can be used to determine the user's locale unless the user is
using a proxy or VPN -- is given by the REMOTE_ADDR server variable, if
you are using Apache HTTP Server. (If this is not what you mean by
"user locale", please be more specific).
