EAServer 4.2.2 allows integration with external single sign-on authentication software such as Netegrity SiteMinder. EAServer 4.2.2 includes custom security components to support Netegrity, and you can implement support for other services by implementing your own custom security components.
A new API, CtsSecurity::CallerPrincipalService allows you to implement a component that tells EAServer the effective user ID when authentication occurs outside of EAServer. For details on creating and installing a caller principal service, see the HTML reference documentation for this interface in file html/ir/CtsSecurity.html in your EAServer installation directory.
The com.sybase.jaguar.server.http.sso server property specifies whether sign-on occurs externally. Set this property to true if you are using an external single-sign on provider.
