SSO Web-App

[tbaum93]

Hi there,

regarding to the Single Sign on Across web properties like this: https://developers.gigya.com/display/GD/Site+Groups+and+Single+Sign-On

Is this possible if the "Site B" is an App Application? So, is it possible to share the SSO experience with an Website (Site A in a Site group in CDC) and an App (which is the Site B in a site group in CDC)?

Thank you and best regards

Tim

Hi Ed,

thank you for your answer. Do you have some more information or a guide how to do this?

Thank you!

The SSO solution uses our web SDK and is based on cookies, so SSO can only be between websites in the same browser.

There are mechanisms to 'transfer' the session between website and app, but this should be considered custom and relies on a specific user action. It would work something like this:

1) A user is logged into a website

2) They click a link in the website

3) Fetch a JWT from Customer Data Cloud and pass it to the app

4) In the app, validate the JWT, read the user's ID from the JWT and force login in the app using accounts.notifyLogin

Of course, this process won't work without the action from the user in the website in the first place. If the user just navigates manually to the app, no session can be 'transferred'.
