Kerberos

[alim27]

Hi,

i want to write a Single Sign On for a WebApp. My problem is i don't have a good knowledge about Intranets. The aim of this tool is to allow a user in network (intranet) to access this App without reenter his Credentials because he is already authenticated in that LAN. The App is normaly protected with a login mechanism. What do i need to know about this network ? which servers do exists that hold and manage user's credentials ? e.g Kerberos i didn't found another one. Thank for all kind of help .

So right now the user has to log in twice in order to use the application, and you want to make it so they don't have to log in twice. I'm sure the solution isn't that difficult, unfortunately I don't know it.

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is available in many commercial products as well.
