redirect and retain cookies

[Former Member]

Hi all.

Has anyone had any experience designing a BSP application which when accessed would automatically redirect to a corporate logon id page/central logon?

I should be able to do this and also retain somehow (cookies?) the logon id value from there and use it in my BSP application.

My BSP application should no longer ask for any login id and password. I can maintain a generic one in SAP and hardcode it in the url provided to the users if thats the way to do it. ( I would like to mask this as Idont want users to see it).

I would greatly appreciate if you guys can throw your ideas/suggetsions/experiences.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

We've a solution based on Shiboleth (http://shib.kuleuven.be/). What you need to do is redirect your app to the AAI with a target BSP page as param. Once authenticated, you will jump to the page.

In that page you can retrieve HTTP headers with info on the user eg

request->get_header_field( 'Shib-Person-uid' )
