Thanks for your reply Nik, I have checked the links and it seems using shibboleth it is possible.
I want to discuss further, I have already integrated our LMS (moodle) with our organization's MS AD (LDAP server) and I think we can integrate it with Dspace as well and this will give same sign on to both. But I am looking for the feature to enable single sign on (Once the user is logged in LMS (Moodle) his/her login authentication should pass on to dspace as well). Dspace should not prompt the users to login. Looking forward for the suggestions Thanks & Regards, Mohammad Ehtesham -----Original Message----- From: Nikolas Lam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 4:49 AM To: Mohammad Ehtesham Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] External database authentication in dspace On Mon, 2007-11-26 at 12:12 +0530, Mohammad Ehtesham wrote: > Hello, > > > > Can we have "External database authentication" or single sign-on > feature in dspace? > > > > For i.e.: > > > > If we are using some CMS or LMS like Joomla or Moodle and some easy > link is embedded and once the user clicks on the link the user's login > authentication should pass on to the dspace also. > > > > In simple words: We are looking to make a secure link to dspace from > within our LMS, with the same sign-on. Depending on how far you want to take things, one approach that might be worth investigating using Shibboleth, which will will allow ID management collaboration with other institutions. A quick search suggests that joomla, moodle and dspace are all "shibbolisable". http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ http://wiki.psigrid.gov.ph/index.php/Joomla_Content_Management_System_wi th_Shibboleth_Service_Provider http://docs.moodle.org/en/Shibboleth https://mams.melcoe.mq.edu.au/zope/mams/pubs/Installation/dspace14 Regards, Nik Lam -- Unix-like Systems Administrator ---------------------------------------------------------- Library IT Services Level 1, Fisher Library (Building F03) The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia Phone: +61 2 9351 4304 Fax: +61 2 9351 7769 CRICOS Provider Number: 00026A ---------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER:"The information contained in this message and the attachments (if any) may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
