External Authentication ,SSO from HEADER Problem.

[aditya_chaudhar]

Hi Forum ,

I am trying to do authentication from header.
The idea is to get user name from ASP page as HEADER and in webscript write logic to redirect to Share Noderef.

I am following below link for configuring SSO using HEADER.
http://www.avantec.se/tag/security/

i have followed all steps but still i am getting my login page.
I also tried by ntlm.authentication.sso.enabled=false.

Please guide me on how i can use external HEADER authentication SSO.??

I am using  4.2e community Edition version

If you want Alfresco to use REMOTE_USER variable to authenticate user, you have to use External Authentication Subsystem. To do that, you have to add something like [id]:external (id can be anything you want) in your authentication chain.

Your authentication could be for example :
authentication.chain=external1:external,ldap-ad1:ldap-ad

Hi mlagneaux ,
Thanks for quick response.

I am step ahead now , i have followed below link

http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/145561.html

Now i am able to make call from header addition from chrome extension.

But , Now i as stuck at " How can i add HTTP header from / in Webscript in Javascript webscript"


can you please tell me how to add HTTP header in webscript alfresco.?

Actually i know i can setup CAS authentication but it 'll take time and also one time login of user , If i can set header from within webscript( Javascript or Java) thenit would be easy.

Please guide me also to validate my approach.


Thanks and Regards
