Hello,
Your webapp can manage its own user management system with some cookie based login for example. So excepted the first time access where the user will have to (re)login, this may then simulate a single-sign-on on a Jahia page available for anybody (guest access)... According to your OS, you may also try a direct Windows/NT authentification (please read this article for example: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=28101).
But of course if your users need to access to some restricted Jahia pages to access to the webapp, they will need some adequate Jahia logins first and then some licenses...
What I do not understand is if your users are already logged in a system and in this case which one before accessing to the Jahia page? Single-sign-on is of course only possible if you are already identified somewhere ;-))
Cheers, St�phane

Thanks for answering
Requirements... 1 We want to integrate our application within the jahia portal 2 We want to have single signon 3 We want to hide the application for unathorized users
Possible solution A 1 use a LDAP-server 2 configure jahia to call the LDAP-server 3 syncronize LDAP server with users in application database 4 extend our jahia - license from 50 to 300+ readonly users
Possible solution B 1 write a new JahiaUserManagerProvider implementation 2 configure jahia to call the new provider 3 extend our jahia - license from 50 to 300+ readonly users
am I right?
Regards Lars

Hi!
I know that it is possible to make jahia to use a LDAP-directory in combination with the jahia user database.
Is it also possible to let Jahia use a tomcat-realm (MemoryRealm or JDBC-realm) ?
We don't have a user manager provider implementation for Tomcat realms unfortunately.
I have a lot of users (300+) and they are supposed to have special roles in our webapp but will always be ordinary guest users in the Jahia CMS.
They are already stored in a database and we do not want to add them via the Jahia user management interface.
Well here it depends how you integrated your webapplication. If it's sitting aside from Jahia, then it should work as it is, because you won't need your users in Jahia if they are seen as guests. Now if the webapp is integrated in a Jahia page, then this is indeed a problem.
Have a look at the JahiaUserManagerProvider, it is the interface to implement user management providers in Jahia.
