Description
This KB applies to users that has setup the Kerberos Directory Manager Plugin for their Joget platform to perform seamless SSO.
However by default, when directly navigating to Joget links (e.g.: clicking on an assignment link appended into an email issued by Email Tool), users noticed that it still requires keying in login details.
Solution
To automatically handle cases such as directly navigating to assignment view in Joget apps, this requires a custom web filter to first perform SSO via AJAX call and then to redirect back to the intended URL.
After building the web filter plugin, place the JAR file in your Joget's tomcat directory at [tomcat directory]/webapps/jw/WEB-INF/lib.
Here below is the sample web filter script for your reference.
