Question

I would like to use our current intranet as the main application to authenticate users. Confluence should be able to ready the cookie I created from the intranet to authenticate the user automatically without prompting them for a username/password. I read a bit about seraph here: http://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-seraph/latest/sso.html, however I am not really sure how to get started. I downloaded the zip and created the config files. However once I have created the classes in which folder do I place them and how do I actually compile them? I am new to Java.

I would prefer not use Crowd, since its very expensive and if we can build the SSO on our own, then we can save a lot of money.

Any help is appreciated.

I am using 3.1.1 on Windows.

The simplest way to integrate is to copy + modify the CAS client, linked from the page above. If you re completely new to Java, there s a bit of a learning curve - you need to create a JAR file which you copy into the $CONF_HOME/confluence/WEB-INF/lib directory, along with modifying your seraph-config.xml.

I m not sure I can give you a complete tutorial on how to build a JAR file here, but the CAS client uses Ant, so if that s what you re modifying, install Java and Ant and run "ant build.xml" in the directory.

Hope that makes some sort of sense :-)
