Single Sign-On intergration with 3rd party website portal

fraidknot1212 May 21, 2014 6:55 AM

A client of ours for whom we have developed a Business Catalyst (BC) website wants their website's users simultaneously authenticated on their own site and also on a MemberSuite member management website portal, which essentially amounts to a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. Is there any capability within BC to allow a process like this? Any examples of others who have accomplished similar SSO integrations?

There is no out of the box solution but it could be done via in a few ways, it would all depend on what the "membersuite member management website portal" could do. The BC database would have to be the master database in terms of username and password as there is no way to log someone in via an API, depending on how the other software is setup and what sort of output it could give and how it's authentication system worked, can you provide more info?

thanks BC man. Unfortunately, BC couldn't be the master and while the 3rd party had a lot of open abilities, BC just didn't make a good fit on this one.
