SSO, Authentication & 3rd party portals
I was wondering if anyone has experience using Zope and Jetspeed? I have a Jetspeed portal and it is time to add some content to a hand full of portlets. I am looking for information on whether or not it can be done or even if it is practical. As a quick experiment, I used an IFrame portal and run the Zope Management Interface. When I log on to the portal and the IFrame initializes, I am also prompted to input the userid and password for the ZMI. Is there any way to implement a Single Sign On so that the ZMI uses the already authenticated Jetspeed userid and password? If I develop a Zope application with a catalog and some folders containing a set of documents, the user would be prompted when the particular portlet starts up with the Zope application. Comments are very much appreciated. TIA. John Wubbel

When you know how Jetspeed handles authentication, you can make a specialized user folder that interacts with it. Dieter

Dieter, Thanks for the suggestion. But, making a user folder for such a purpose, would that preempt the current Zope logon dialog box? I was thinking more along the lines of authentication with the ZServer immediately following the Jetspeed authentication. Are you saying use the specialized user folder to transact authentication for both, as a replacement for the current Jetspeed UI? I believe Jetspeed authentication takes place through the Turbine framework. I will check it more closely. Thanks. John

Have a look at Yale's CAS: <http://www.yale.edu/tp/auth/> We're looking to achieve with Zope and uPortal <http://mis105.mis.udel.edu/ja-sig/uportal/index.html> (and indeed several other Web applications) what you want to achieve Zope and Jetspeed using CAS in the middle. It's early days though .... Paul --On 25 February 2003 23:20 -0600 John Wubbel <john.wubbel@pediatricnetwork.com> wrote:

Paul, Thanks for the tip. I will investigate the CAS tomorrow.
