iportal to use external login- IPSE or RSSE?

<p>Hi bcmp,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To use login credentials from an external database, LDAP, etc.  You will need RSSE.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To login without specifying a username/password, etc, IPSE would be used.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>A company has Active Directory as their external authentication.  They build their custom RSSE to communicate with that Active Directory.  The iHub collects details from the Active Directory.  The users log in with their Active Directory username and password.  This company proceeds further and sets up an IPSE to pass their credentials from annother application portal.  They now only need to provide their credentials to this outside application portal and IPSE promotes the login through to the server that already has RSSE connected.</p>

<p>Hi bcmp,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To provide some clarification.  The IPSE passes the login credentials.  The way IPSE is coded determins how the login credentials are passed along. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Say you coded the IPSE to collect the username and password of the user logged into the machine they are on.  The IPSE then passes the credentials to the server with that username and password.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Say you coded the IPSE to pass information from a shared login.  For example, when you login with Google, you do not need to log into youtube, google docs, gmail.  The IPSE is passing the information to each of those applications and elimnates the need to re-enter credentials.</p>
