Introduction

Sometimes, during a web application development, you need to interface with your client's software(s) and/or websites in order to keep a common and coherent session within its applicative environment. To do this, it is often useful to use a special tool : SSO (Single Sign On). This article illustrates one way of integrating an eZ Publish based web application into an existing SSO architecture

I have just publish a little example for sso_handler : bpce_acces. It consists of an SSO Handeler based on client IP.

Hi,

Thanks for this tutorial, I have implemented a SSO and it works fine. But it seems the SSOHandler is called everytime a page is loaded. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, as I think the call is need only when the current user is Anonymous.

Is there a way to stop the SSOHandler call when a user is already logged in ?

Or should I put this "logic" in the SSOHandler::handleSSOLogin() method?

Thanks for the answer.

Hi Nicolas

SSOHandler will be called every time a page is loaded if your user is not logged in, as SSO is handled in eZUser::instance() method.

Once your user is logged in, it won't be called any more. So maybe you should add some logic in your SSOHandler::handleSSOLogin() in order not to call your login webservice (or other SSO stuffs) if you are not logging in.

Otoh if you want also SingleSignOff, your code should be called on every page, for both logged-in and anon users. eZ Publish does not currently support that afair, but it is a requirement seldom see in real life...

Hi Nicolas,

I could learn from this forum that you're successful in implementing SSO. That isn't my case. I would greatly appreciate if you can post me the code you implemented. I used the SPNEGO projet but I'm still unable to get it working as designed for.

Thanking you in advance.
