Single Sign On Support

In a situation where someone wants to set up a single sign on to integrate WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client into an existing portal environment, you can submit a form which silently prefills a username and password.

To attempt a Single Sign On, submit a form targeting Login.aspx and have it include the following elements:

• SSOUsername - The username for the Single Sign On attempt.
• SSOPassword - The password for the Single Sign On attempt.

As long as the SSOUsername element exists in the form and it is not an empty string, the Web Transfer Client will attempt a Single Sign On.

The following is a very simple example form to enable the WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client's Single Sign On feature. The form presents a UserID and Password textbox to the end user. When the user enters the appropriate credentials and clicks the Launch WS_FTP button, the WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client attempts a Single Sign On:

<form name="formLogin" method="POST" action="http://MyHost/ThinClient/Login.aspx" id="formLogin" >
<br />
UserID: <input type="text" name="SSOUsername" value=""><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="SSOPassword" value=""><br />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="btnLogin" value=" Launch WS_FTP " id="btnLogin" ><br />
</form>
