Enabling SSO with windows login credentials.

[rama_honge]

Hi,

I want to enable single sign on, which uses windows login credentials.

Using a CAS Server, I have configured Alfresco 3.2 to get the user id. I want the alfresco login page to have the username and pwd fields auto populated(using windows login id and pwd).

Could anyone please let me the know the changes that are to be done. Also the UI changes necessary for getting the username and pwd(As i'm newbie to ui technologies)

Any help much appreciated.

Auto-populating the login form would be a serious security hole, as it would involve encoding the username and password in the markup!

So you are using a CAS server? See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_With_mod_auth_cas for how to set up Alfresco behind CAS.

If you instead just want to auto-log-in to Alfresco with your OS credentials without using the CAS server, just set

ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=true

in alfresco-global.properties. This will activate Alfresco's built in NTLM-support and will mean the login form is bypassed.

Hi
I have CAS enabled behind Alfresco, and I get the username from the CAS server. I was to use this to bypass the login/alfresco authentication. Could anyone please let me know what are the java changes/configuration changes required ?

As suggested by dward, i tried auto-log-in to Alfresco with OS credentials without using the CAS server, by setting ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=true. When I tried accessing http://localhost:8080/alfresco, i get awindows popup to enter the username and password. Signing in with the windows credentials results with blank page with url in the address bar http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/browse/browse.jsp.

Any help provided for SSO with cas behind alfresco would be really helpful..
