Hello,
I would like advice as to what is the easiest / best way to automate logon in jetspeed. Jetspeed will be running behind a SSO / filter that is on a different machine. This SSO application places a cookie in the request which means that the request comes from an authenticated user. The name and the contents of the cookie cannot be changed as it is created and used by other applications. That the user has been authenticated does not mean that the user exists as a user in the jetspeed portal. There are 2 types of users for the portal to handle: "authenticated non members" and "authenticated members". Based on the loginid that is in the cookie the portal has to look in a ldap server to check wether that loginid is present. If it is not present the user is apparently an "authenticated non member", and should be able to see the portal as a guest without any credentials. In case the loginid is present, jetspeed portal credentials should be created and the user should be able to see the portal as someone that is logged in. The portal never checks any password credentials! It just checks if the user is in the list of registered user in the ldap server. Based on the above requirements, what are the possible ways to implement this and what is the best way to follow? As far as I have read through the jetspeed documentation, it usually assumes that the jetspeed portal is the SSO implementing component instead of the SSO client that is is in this case.
