SSO With External URL using Post

[#1]

Hi,

We are trying to achieve SSO for an external URl based application which is developed in asp and the login form looks Post the two userid and password fields to login.asp

We created a URL based iview on EP6 SP9 which points to this URL http://<Company>/login.asp.

Also, We created a HTTP system "xyz" which has

Authentication Method = Post

Authentication Type = Server

and uses the same login.asp URL as above in iview.

Now, when we assign this "xyz" system to the Iview with Post, we get an error message saying the fetchmode has to be Server and when we make the fetch mode "server" we just get a blank page.

Can anyone help us on this? Thanks a lot in advance

Best Wishes,

Manish

Hi Manish,

first, welcome on SDN! About your question:

The URL iView in SP9++ has been reported quite instable from different sides (just do a look on "URL iView" within this forum). The alternative for the aim you have is to use the good "old" application integrator iView, which behaves very stable and will do what you want without hesitating...

Hope it helps

Hi Detlev,

URLiView has got a nice feature:

You can pass properties from Buisness Objects to it as URL-Parameter,

if it is a "web target" (input form) in a Object-Based-Navigation szenario.

Do have an idea how I could implement this with appintegrator ?

It would be great to have integrated this advantage in the flexible

possibilities of application integrator.

summerly regards

Hi Tim,

for I have absolutely no experience with object-based navigation, I'm not able to give a substantiated answer.

Anyhow, within the scenario given in the original request, object-based nav doesn't seem to play a role, does it?!

Best regards

Hello Detlev,

yes it is true, actually I gave a own question...

But it has been raised by your reply, in which you pointed to the former discussion about

URLiView and application integrator. I am playing around with this two kind of iViews at

the moment. I like to send events from other iViews to change parameters of an appintegrator iView dynamically according to these events.

But how can I do it (Request, EPCF, Page Builder)?

I try to find out, what I can do with a Custom Provider.

Otherwise I will open a new question topic instead of jumping on this

For dynamic parameters, I always suggest to develop something we call "Proxy iView", which has all the parameters of the target iView except the one(s) which have to be determined by this proxy iView itself.

After having calculated all parameters together (within doOnNodeReady of an AbstractPortalComponent), just redirect to the target iView with the parameters as URL params.

Hope it helps

Hello Detlev,

"Proxy iView" sounds good.

I found a few other of your posts you mentioned.

I hope it works...

At first I have to get deeper in the concept of POM,

i am not as familar right now.

Thanks a lot already.
