SSO with Sitefinity and existing ASP.Net sites
Hi, I wonder if anyone has implemented SSO with non-Sitefinity sites. The examples in the documentation are for multiple Sitefinity sites, not ordinary ASP.Net. I have two older ASP.Net sites that are currently implementing SSO using forms authentication that I want to update to have single sign-on with a new Sitefinity site. It looks like claims authentication should be a reasonable solution, but it's not apparent to me how to implement claims authentication in standard ASP.Net 3.5 or 4.0 that points to a Sitefinity site as the STS, or uses the same STS. I do not see that SF implements WS federation, so the VS wizard for connecting to an STS doesn't seem to apply. Can I do this with ordinary WIF claims authentication on the relying sites? Do I need to reference Sitefinity classes to use the token? Do I need to create a separate STS for all of the sites?
We just hook into the logged in event in sitefinity and add the forms auth cookies manually...seems to work here :)
Saves a custom STS and converting existing sites to claims.
if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped") EventHub.Subscribe<ILoginCompletedEvent>(new SitefinityEventHandler<ILoginCompletedEvent>(OnLogin_Completed)); protected void OnLogin_Completed(ILoginCompletedEvent loginEvent) switch (loginEvent.LoginResult) case UserLoggingReason.Success: //Setup SSO Bits LoginClaims.OnLoggedIn(loginEvent.Username, HttpContext.Current); break;Thanks! seems reasonable, especially short term. With other sites that I may be integrating next year I'd still love to know if claims auth could be made to work.
I'm relatively new to Sitefinity. My SF project didn't have a global.asax, so I wasn't sure at first how to hook into this until I looked at some of the dev samples. Is there anything special I need to know about adding a global.asax?
