Hi,

I am using the sample code from the WebFOCUS API dcoumentation (wf713api.pdf) to log into the WebFOCUS using custom Jsp. However, this code expects a username & password to be provided explicitly.

The code from the documentation is given below:

String cgiLocation =
application.getInitParameter("webfocus_client_root")+File.separator+"web"
+File.separator+"cgi";
WFServletVariableTableExtension wfSVTExtension =
new WFServletVariableTableExtension( request, application );
WFApplicationRequest workerReq = new WFApplicationRequest();
WFResponse workerResp = new WFServletResponse( response );
workerReq.addParameter( "IBIWF_action", "WF_SIGNON" );
workerReq.addParameter( "IBIC_user", "admin" );
workerReq.addParameter( "IBIC_pass", "admin" );
workerReq.addParameter("IBIWF_format", "XML");
WFWorkerUtil.processRequest( cgiLocation, workerReq, workerResp,
wfSVTExtension, null ,null, null );

However, I need to sign on a user using trusted authentication. Can you let me know how can I do that? I want to know what value pair should I use to achieve trusted sign on (like workerReq.addParameter ("IBIWF_action", "WF_SIGNON");

Cheers,
Mohan

Can you explain what you mean by trusted. The Reason I am asking is that I want to be sure what you call TRUSTED is what IBI calls TRUSTED. Also what platform are you running. I do not believe that windows OS's support TRUSTED.

Hi TexasStingray,

I have a jsp page within a WebLogic portal. The user is required to sign in using his Portal credentials. When this jsp page is run within the portal context, the user should not be authenticated again. Hence, I'm looking for a trusted authentication assuming that the WebLogic portal has already authenticated the user.

I'm running this on Windows platform.

Please let me know if you need more details.

Cheers,
Mohan

Are you using MRE/UAS? If you check out IBI's Open Portal Services. If not, you may have to look at setting the WF Reporting Server to only accept connections from a certain machine/IP and turnning security off on it. and have the jsp check to see if they are logged into WebLogic. Just some suggestions.

Sorry I have not been more help
