Re: AW: Single Signon and CGI Web Applications

A technique that I use with CGI is to put a hidden field on the form that contains a record ID that points to a record that contains whatever information that I want to retain for that user. I change the ID for each form so if the user tries to post an old form it will be invalid.

Something like this:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SessionIDKey" VALUE="103278">

Hi,

we've already an CGI application based on CGIDEV2, but it does not work
(yet) in composition with single signon.

What kind of web application are you planning? PHP? CGIDEV2? EGL?
Something else?

Single Signon and CGI Web Applications






Hi guys,



is someone using Single Signon in composition with web applications?



Single Signon including EIM is already installed on our development
system.
Accessing the IFS on the development machine from client works without
problems.



Now we want to use Single Signon in composition with our CGI based Web
Application, i.e. if the user opens a link in our application he only
needs
to type his password the first time he signs in. For all subsequent calls
the user should be automatically signed in.



Because we are not experienced with this kind of application access, we
would like to know what we need or what we have to program.

If someone could give us some tips we?d really appreciate it.



Thanks in advance



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
