CSUI Widget and OTDS Authentication

Mahesh Pinnamaneni

Hello Folks,
I have a CSUI (10.5) Browse widget html hosted on IIS. We need to enter Username & Password to see the contents of the folder in CS. Since I have the latest OTDS (16.2), I can directly get the OTDSSSO ticket by making OTDS REST call to otdsws/v1/authentication/headers.
Wondering if anyone had any luck to use this mechanism to authenticate automatically when the widget html is accessed and load the page? I really don't want the users to prompt for username/pwd. This would help integrate these widgets easily into other apps outside Content Server. For example: We can replace webparts in Sharepoint with this widget html.
Here is the sample code:

<script>

  csui.onReady( function() {

    // Create the server connector for the widgets.
    var connector = new csui.util.Connector( {
          connection: {
            url: "http://servername/otcs/livelink.exe/api/v1",
            supportPath: "/img"             
          }
        } ),
    // Create the container browsing widget.
        browser = new csui.widget.FolderBrowserWidget( {
          connector: connector,
          placeholder: "#folderBrowser"
        } );
    // Display the container browsing widget.
    browser.show();

  });
</script>

Thanks,
Mahesh
