How to use JSAPI-authentication-session in jsp-bean

DennisM

Hi,

i am using the jsapi to display the reportexplorer, dashboard and viewer.
While displaying the reportexplorer, the user needs to authenticate at the iserver.

is it possible to use the authentication in a jsp-bean to make calls to the information delivery api?

how can i access the authenticationId?
I want to avoid that the user needs to authenticate again.

thanks

I'm assuming your pages are running in your own application (i.e. not running in the iportal context). If so, you will need to implement single sign on. The single sign adapter is a Java based class which extends the iPortalSecurityAdapter class. This class is called by Information Console when authentication is required. Keep in mind the iServer will still need to authenticate the user, this adapter is ultimately just responsible for passing who is attempting to access secure content.

You can read more about this in the "Using Actuate Information Console security" chapter of the following manual for more information:
