How to do Authentication via an External authentication service

[Sherry_Ummen]

Hello,

I have an external authentication service (in house), I want to use this service for authenticating Nuxeo as well. Wanted to know how to do it ? And I am using .Net client and I could not find a way to do it. Could someone please suggest how to do it?

Regards, Sherry

I'm unaware of how to integrate external authentication with Nuxeo, but I do know that the .NET Client only supports basic authentication for now. There's more information about the authentication methods supported by the Nuxeo Platform on the respective documentation page.

Hope it helps.

Thanks. Hmm also, if I just use the basic authentication, then my scenario is that from the web client side there will many requests coming in from different users so then should I cache the Client instance (new Client(..,..)) and all the request use the same client instance or you suggest some other approach ?

Yes, I recommend always using the same Client instance unless you have a strong reason not to.
