Trusted Authentication 3.1

33 Views

Hi All,

In my previous post i had an update that to configure the Trusted Authentication, we need to make changes in the web.xml file, we need to provide "username" using one of the supported methods (specified in the web.xml).

1) HTTP_HEADER(siteminder or other 3rd party auth), REMOTE_USER (IIS - most common) COOKIE, WEB_SESSION, USER_PRINCIPAL, QUERY_STRING (username in the URL).

2) We need to manually create the users in the Enterprise.

3).Enable Trusted Authentication in cmc.

.Enter shared secret in cmc

.Make changes to the web.xml file

.Select any option for "trusted.auth.user.retrieval"

.Create TrustedPrincipal.conf file

We have our corporate inhouse security application ,where users login to the application and click on the link for Business Objects.

We have a query, Instead of users manually being created in the CMC ,can't we get the users alias get created in the CMC once the users login to the corporate security application? Is it possible through Trusted Authentication ? Can we achieve this using custom code?

Thank you in Advance

Bill
