Description
Traverse makes it easy to integrate the Web Application into an existing web portal or single-login system. Using the external authentication mechanism, you can bypass the initial authentication web page and go directly into the device summary page. This is accomplished by encoding user department and login information in an md5 hash, using the shared key and passing into the authentication engine of the Web Application component. The <param-name>externalLoginKey</param-name> section is used to configure a shared key for external URL based authentication. See the section on Authentication in the Traverse Developer Guide & API Reference for further details on setting this up.
Note: It is highly recommended that you edit the shared key defined in <param-value>payday</param-value> and change the default to something different and secure. A sample CGI script (<TRAVERSE_HOME>/utils/externalWebLogin.cgi) illustrating how to use the external authentication mechanism is provided with Traverse.
Also see the Traverse Developer Guide & API Reference for using external authentication using Windows Active Directory, LDAP, Radius, etc.
