User logs in to external system and implicitly gains access to Joget Workflow without being prompted to login again.

The sample code provided below using Javascript that exposes the user credential information is not a good security best practice. Please do not put this into practice. |
Using JSON API
- Using '/web/json/directory/user/sso' JSON API.
- You are allowed to call this method using JSON API Authentication or
- Directly passes the username and password with "username" and "password" parameters respectively shown in following example.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'http://localhost:8080/jw/web/json/directory/user/sso?callback=callbackFunction',
data: {
username: 'admin',
password: 'admin'
},
success: function(res) {
console.log("username (" + res.username + ") is " + ((res.isAdmin !== undefined && res.isAdmin === "true")?"admin":"not an admin"));
},
dataType: "json"
});
});
</script> |
...
- You can build your own Web Service Plugin to perform custom SSO implementation.

Please note that if you are adding these code in a filter, you will need to store the SecurityContext to session.

//Store SecurityContext to session to avoid spring security to clean it.
