Thanks Sue,

Looking at the code, we think it should be pretty straightforward to get the 
authentication from our SSO app, but we also want to keep the LDAP 
authentication too...which seem like it might be more difficult!

Best regards

Ian

Subject: RE: Implementing SSO

We implemented OpenSSO with DSpace 1.5.1 and it required minimal code changes 
in DSpace.  OpenSSO basically gets a user's information and passes it to DSpace 
in the http headers where you then have to extract what you want and pass it to 
DSpace.
Hope this helps!

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Implementing SSO

Hi,

I've read the previous threads about using SSO with Dspace but wondered if 
anyone could point me in the right direction of how to get Dspace 1.8 to work 
with our OpenSSO. We'd really like the swordv2 service document to ask for SSO 
credentials rather than LDAP. Would I be right in saying that SWORDv2 uses 
authentication based on the general DSpace authentication method? It seems to.

If this is the case, if we implemented SSO for DSpace then SWORD should also 
use this method.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Ian
