SSO methods explained

SSO methods explained

Rundown of SSO Methods:

  • Server Side webPass SSO - This is only available for Virtual web Applications. Uses webPass SSO engine / wizard to build an SSO form which is passed by modifying the form information as it passes through the webNetwork server.  This does not require a webPass client on the users device.
  • Basic / NTLM SSO - This is used in conjunction with Virtual web Applications.  webNetwork can pass in credentials for a Basic / NTLM authentication request on the user's behalf.
  • Legacy SSO Form Wizard - After 6.3 this is not available in a wizard and would have to be built by hand.  This has been replaced with Server Side webPass SSO.
  • Public webPass SSO - Created by making a link then right clicking on the link to use the webPass SSO wizard. This requires the webPass extension to be installed on the client's browser to perform SSO, without the extension customer is taken to the login page without credentials being passed.
  • Public Form SSO - This only works if you can submit the form and load the page at the same time. After 6.3 this is not available in a wizard and has to be built by hand.
  • Public SAML SSO - This uses a Public application to setup a SAML integration with the service/identity provider.
  • Custom JSP - Used for very special cases where some extra logic and processing has to be done to the data before sending.  Some vendors provide custom code for doing SSO to their product.  An example might be for Flash based login pages that webPass cannot handle, but the vendor built a 2nd method for SSO.  (Limited guidance can be provided for integrating custom JSP files with webNetwork.)
