Hi eric, OFBiz consists of several web applications, and uses some custom way to auto-login the users when they navigate from one web application into another. You can look into the externalLoginKey parameter used by OFBiz.
In order to allow other web application like JForum to fit in nicely with minimum code changes, you will need to consider a proper single-sign-on solution like CAS SSO http://www.jasig.org/cas. Start by downloading the CAS Server code into OFBiz's special folder, and add the ofbiz-component.xml file. There will also be changes to the web.xml files in other web applications. No step by step approach. Need to read documentation and fix whatever errors that arise : ) eric wrote > Hi James, > > Can you tell me more about this?
