TeamSite Login Screen

Hi,

We are in the process of developing a custom application in which we are invoking Templating DCT form using a customized URL. Its able to show us the DCT form but before that it shows up the TeamSite Login screen.

Is there any way to bypass the Login Screen?

Kindly let me have all your imputs on the same.

Thanx
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Did you manage to solve your problem?
Even I've a similar requirement where I need to develop my own login screen to capture user details and then encapsulate login.jsp or bypass login.jsp to log the use rin.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I too would like a way to do this.

I've not done any real looking, but I'm assuming I can modify launch.jsp (or whatever it launches) to build a different screen to look more like our business partners would like.

Are you looking more for a single sign on solution or for a way to log a user in automatically via a URL?

something like:

http://server/login?username=blah&password=blah&role=blah&interface=blah

Don't you think that this is a bit of a security risk? Anyone could authenticate as someone else given their username/password.

Also what logic would you use to get the user's password.

Help me understand the requirement. (There isn't a supported way of doing this currently because of this security hole this woudl expose).

Hi Dave,

I'm looking at providing a SSO like TeamPortal where the user specifies the username/password etc only once. Instead of using TeamPortal portlets, I want to provide a link to TS which will login the user directly into TS.
So what I'm looking at is developing a JSP that will simulate login.jsp using the same encryption etc.
OR
modify the login.jsp to accept parameters from my JSP instead of from the default HTML form.
I've been partially able to do it and I'm working on it.

Thanks and regards

So are you okay with the user logging in once? If so, you are able to specify the session timeout in iw.cfg. You could set it to some really high number and then after the initial login, the user should never be prompted to login again.

Also, where is the user getting authenticated initially? In another app that has identical username/password combos or are you requiring TS Authentication only?

Thanks,

Has anyone definitely found out if you can do integrated authentication and bypass the TeamSite login screen. There's nothing in the documentation that talks about it.

You can achieve this with Content Services by passing a username and password via a web service. Then if authenticated, you'd use the session information (passed back from the web service) to set a cookie which would bypass the login screen.

I am able to establish session with CSSDK but how do you create a cookie with the CSSDK API? Also do you need to run this code on the Interwoven server?
