Has anyone got SSO working properly with FileMakers API for PHP. If you have, can you give me some pointers please.

Many Thanks

What's SSO?

Single Sign On I would presume.

Hi Guys, Yes its single sign on. All of our webapps and software including FM Pro 9 utilise this technology so our users only enter their password in once, i.e. when they log into windows to access the apps (they are allowed to) on the network. All their passwords are stored in acive directory.

I'd love to be able to use this technology with FileMakers API for PHP securely.

It would seem that this is less of an API question and more of a PHP, AD question.

We use PHP's LDAP functions to authenticate against AD, but users still have to enter their credentials when they first access the web page. After that there are plenty of ways you can store the data for access down the road. The $_SESSION variable or in an encrypted cookie on their local box are the first two that come to mind. If you use the latter you can use it until they clear the cookie.

But you really don't want a web page to have the ability to grab your local login credentials.
