Single Signon for IdeaScale portal

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PDT

What options do we have for single sign on (SSO)? We will be linking to this from our web application where folks will already be signed in (and under SSL) -- Can we have an integration option for Single Signon.

If we can enable SSO, then can we eliminate the header tabs: Awards, About Us, My Account?

Jason Eckenroth, Six88 Solutions, Inc was inquiring about this.

We are thinking about SSO using SAML. This is however in alpha and most likely not be released with the public beta launch in the next couple of weeks -- unless of course we get ton of users asking for this same feature! We are currently testing SSO with our own IdeaScale portal (questionpro.ideascale.com) -- if you notice, the authentication is done by QuestionPro, and then redirected to ideascale. This is something custom we developed for ourselves (but it does use SAML) -- so -- we should be able to expose this API out so that authentication can be done by another external site. If you have SSO needs, please comment on this topic on what technology you are using currently for SSO and if you are familiar with SAML etc.

http://simplesamlphp.org looks quite useful but doesn't support SAML1.1 which ideascale is using...
