2.2.1 Form-Based Single Sign-On
The form-based SSO method works for both J2EE and .NET applications. Your primary sign-on web application should generate a form containing hidden fields “userid” and “password”, similar to the one below:
<form method=post name=reportForm action="/sree/Reports">
<a onClick=reportForm.submit();>View Reports</a>
<input type=hidden name=userid value=xxxx>
<input type=hidden name=password value=yyyy>
</form>
When a user clicks on the link in your web application, the form transparently submits the parameters “userid” and “password” to the Style Intelligence server. These parameters are then passed to the Security Provider for authentication. Once the Security Provider authenticates the user's credentials, it assigns the user to the appropriate groups and roles, and furnishes the user with the authorized permissions. To add information to the SRPrincipal object, see Accessing SRPrincipal via Login Listener.
