Simple Kind of Single Sign on

[roli8200]

Hello All

We're currently on testimplementation of a tripple solution based on:
   Zimbra (Groupware and stores the User Database in LDAP)
   Typo3 (Makes the Intranet Page and userlogin)
   Alfresco (for the Document  Management)

Now, the Typo3-Intranet-Page and Alfresco share the useraccounts with Zimbra (the ones from the ldap database). So on the Typo3-site I know the usernames and passwords of the users (while login, plaintext).

I already made a small Typo3-Extension to make a single sign on connection back to Zimbra using the Zimbra's preauth mechanism.
To get alfresco also 'into' the single sign on I thought it should be possible to create a single link on the intranet-page which contains the username and password and allows a direct logon to Alfreso.

I saw that the normal login.jsp uses POST to make the authentication. Is it also possible to use a kind of GET statement for logon?

Many Thanks

Hello

Is nobody out there?
I really really tried everything but I don't have the time to also get into the java faces thing to reprogram it. Is there no simple solution to just make a get request to login.jsp instead of post with all this cookie variables?

The whole traffice is encrypted so it should not make a problem transmitting the usename and password plaintext to alfresco. PLEASE HELP it whould be very nice!

Thanks

Roland

Sadly I'm unable to provide specific advice. But these two links might be able to help:

I'd love to hear how it goes, I'm thinking about doing something similar!
