Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
How do you do SSO (Single Sign-On) to a ASP (Active Server Pages) pages with iChain 2.1? How do I add the password?



A:
Check out the /tools/iChainAuthOLAC.asp on the iChain CD.

You need to do the following in order to pass the authentication header to the ASP app. (this info is also in iChainAuthOLAC.asp):
*IMPORTANT: You MUST disable (un-check) the following options on this script to have the "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION" section properly populated:

On NT4, disable: "Windows NT Challenge/Response", or
on Win2000, disable: "Integrated Windows authentication"

You can disable this property on this script via the "Internet Services Manager" ("Microsoft Management Console").

To add the password, you can add the following in OLAC:
Name: <whatever the app is looking for>
Source: LDAP
Value: ICHAIN_PWD
