Re: Single Sign On - from anywhere



Hi,

yes - thats the only sensible way to do it....

- but - if the browser authenticates with NTLM (and thats what non-IE browsers do) with the web app - you won't be able to do delegation of credentials. A feature called Protocol Transition can help here - with the prereqs i described earlier.

Hi;

Ok, between your postas and the url you gave me I think I've got it
for IE. But for other browsers - what is the best way to do this?
Should I prompt them for their username/password at the start of each
session (that way I don't have to store it)?

At least one plugin i saw for FireFox allowed to store the
credentials for the website on the client. (url / credentail pair). I
would not recommend "simulating" your own Windows-Login, as you say
this would involve storing the password somehow - and since "normal"
auth is done in IIS and ASP.NET runs much later - you would also have
to enable anonymous access for this approach to work.

or in other words - if the browser does not support it - you can't
support it either.
