Using existing single sign-on mechanisms  Generating a single sign-on outbound token

Chapter 2: Managing Web Studio Security

Customizing EP to using an existing single sign-on mechanism

To customize the portal to use an existing single sign-on mechanism, modify the custom_declarations.jsp and custom_sso.jsp files—which do nothing by default—to include the single sign-on detection logic.

These files are located in $SYBASE/EAServer/Repository/WebApplications/onepage/ on UNIX and in %SYBASE%\EAServer\Repository\WebApplications\onepage\ on Windows.

When custom_sso.jsp detects a single sign-on token in the request, it sets the user name ID and password variables appropriately to allow the user to log in automatically. Use the custom_declarations.jsp as necessary to add imports, declare class functions or members, initialize statics, and so on.

If you modify the custom_*.jsp files to support single sign-on into the portal using your own SSO mechanism, start your Portal Interface sessions using:

http://HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.PORT/onepage/ep_sso.jsp

not:

http://HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.PORT/onepage/index.jsp
