WebServices AD Authentication/SSO

Pravin_Alhat

Hello,

Please guide me on how to utilize webservices seamlessly to integrate external AD authenticated application with Content Server 10 without having to re-authenticate at webservices level?

 

We have an .Net/Windows based external application which is AD authenticated. Our Content Server 10 with SSO enabled (hosted on servers with Solaris OS) and WebServices on Tomcat.

We want to pull/push metadata to CS10 from this application. As user is already AD authenticated in the application obviously we don't want to re-authenticate user to connect with CS10 through web-services [Authentication.AuthenticationClient().AuthenticateUser(username, password)].

We are not sure on how to get authentication token from our external app .net code (which has already AD authenicated the user) without having to prompt user for  username and password again?

 

Thanks,

Pravin.

is your CS 2010 SSO authenticated with the same AD as your web apps?  We are located your CS web services? on the linux box? If you leave: Authentication.AuthenticationClient().AuthenticateUser(), it should pass your windows credential to CS 2010. you web apps need to be configure windows integrated.
