NOTE: Ubisecure product names were unified in autumn 2011. All products which started with term "Ubilogin" were renamed to start with term "Ubisecure". In documentation this name change is implemented retroactively, i.e., the new naming practice is used also when referring to old software versions which started with term "Ubilogin" at the time of their release. |
About This Documentation
This documentation describes the Ubilogin HTTP Header Authentication Provider and how it is used with the Ubisecure Authentication Server to create extensible authentication systems.
HTTP Header Authentication Provider Functionality
HTTP Header Authentication Provider enables moving identity information from a 3rd party Identity Provider to UAS using HTTP headers. HTTP Header Authentication provider is installed as a Java Servlet web application and the 3rd party Identity Provider has to be set to authenticate users of this application and to set the identity information to HTTP headers. HTTP Header Authentication Provider then reads the user's identity information from HTTP headers and sends user authentication information to UAS.
The HTTP Header Authentication Provider is implemented as a standard Java Servlet web application. The web application can be deployed in any standard Java Application server that implements the Java Servlet 2.3 specification.
