Hi,

I'm an extreme newbie to DNN, and to ASP.Net as well.  If this isn't the right forum, please let me know, but I appreciate any help.

We're setting up a DNN site and would like to delegate our authentication to a third-party system which we can access via a webservice.  I have a simple RPC-style web-service call I can make to authenticate a user, and would like to write some code which I can plug in to DNN to handle the authentication.

 

The conversation would look like:

User ---[login]--->  DNN  -----[process login]--->  Pluggable Authentication (custom)  ----[authenticate via webservice]--->    ThirdPartyProduct

 

Is this possible with DNN?  All of the pluggable authentication modules I've seen so far basically just allow you to plug in a third-party authentication product with its own set of security tables.

If there are details I need to provide to help answer this question, please let me know and I'll dig them up.

 

Thanks,

Matt

do you want to integrate your 3rd party product in an iframe or how do you plan to integrate?

There's no displayable component which I want to show, I simply want to delegate user authentication to this 3rd party product.  It's a system in which we already maintain several hundred users, so we don't want to maintain them twice.

Hello - I think what is being asked is how to setup a single sign-on so that when a user accesses the site, their NT Domain credentials would be passed to this third-party authentication process.  An example that I can think of is when we used IBM Lotus Notes as our main authentication "tool" for Intranet sites within our company, which was in sync with our domain account login.   In this case the user would be redirected to a simple login web page, external to the ASP.NET website, if the client's cookie expired or did not exist.  This second login was only necessary to create or update a cookie.  On subsequent visits to the website, the user would not need to login for a period of time, i.e. only once per day.

Is this example somewhat similar to what is being asked in the initial post?

John
