SSO integration with livelink

Vinod_Bhan

I have a home grown solution in SSO, and want to integrate it with Livelink, Does livelink handle cookies or header to drop the credential information and what all i need to set.

Any takers.

Not sure I understand the setup.In the lapi documentation you can see that in case you want SSO with livelinkYou need to put DirSvcs module in livelink which in turn will allow livelink to lookfor a header variable usually REMOTE_USER in a IIS webserved livelink.Several people in this forum have used apache as the webserver and siteminder asthe cookie setting systems.I find it very useful to download the lapi test connection utility from Ot which is a toolthat will help you with providing the correct session constructor.There are plenty of lapi SSO code in thecommunities web site or the livelink directory services web site.the only thing you need to understand is in the case of SSO you are authenticating to the webserver and not the livelink lapi port.Several lapi implementation use lapi impersonation in the guise of SSO as well.I have seen some products doing thatas well.CheersAppu________________________________________From: eLink Entry: LAPI Forum [lapi@elinkkc.opentext.com]Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2010 11:20 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: SSO integration with livelinkSSO integration with livelink Posted by vinodkb@virtusa.com (Bhan, Vinod) On 2010/11/21 23:16I have a home grown solution in SSO, and want to integrate it with Livelink, Does livelink handle cookies or header to drop the credential information and what all i need to set.Any takers.________________________________[To post a comment, use the normal reply function]Forum: LAPI ForumLivelink Server: knowledge-wlweb01
