Single Sign On - LDAP Authentication #60

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Would it be possible to integrate Single Sign On with LDAP authentication for 
webpasswordsafe?

Would some settings like : 
http://docs.jboss.org/jbportal/v2.6.7/referenceGuide/html/sso.html

be application for webpasswordsafe ?

Do advise.

By the way, thank you so much for this application.

LDAP can already act as an authentication backend. Using SSO usually lets you 
sign on once in the morning and then just live with the ticket you've been 
granted. In the case of a a password store that is usually not what you want. 
Of course maybe the sysadmin should be able to configure this to fit their 
unique requirements best, but I have trouble figuring out when it would make 
sense.

Hi Paul,

LDAP is the authentication used for back end. Agreed.
However the objective here would be to use either kerberos authentication or 
http post binding with ldap. This works hand in hand with LDAP backend 
authentication.

With this in place, there would be no need to keep on typing in the user name 
and password, whenever you login to windows, you should be able to access 
webpasswordsafe with a click of the mouse.

This would be an advantage to this application.
