Linkage with Web Applications
A Web application can acquire the user information stored in the SSO repository with authenticating
user to the authentication server.
The two methods that can be used to acquire user information are as follows:
• Java application interface
The Java application interface provided by Interstage Single Sign-on can be used to develop a
Servlet application to receive authentication information from the client and a Java application to
request the authentication server to perform authentication with user ID and password. For details,
refer to "Developing Java Applications".
• HTTP request header
User information can be set in the HTTP request header and posted to an application. The
application can acquire the user information via a Web application interface, for example CGI. For
further details, refer to "Setting User Information Report with Environment Variables".
