Multiple Virtual Hosts Single Sign On
Hello,
I have dug through the tomcat-user archives and have seen this question come up several times, but there was no concrete solution so I'll bring it up again.
For an upcoming project, I am going to have 3 websites. ex:
library.ci.tigard.or.us
police.ci.tigard.or.us
www.ci.tigard.or.us
Each website will have some features that require a login. It would be logical to have the same username and password for all 3 and even more logical for the user to only have to authenticate once for all 3 and have his/her session data maintained and available to all 3.
Is there a single sign on solution that would provide that capability?
This concept of single sign on should not be confused with Tomcat's SSO. Tomcat's SSO only provides SSO for different contexts within one virtual host. This is more of a SSO solution along the lines of the .net passport.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
- Victor Soares

Victor,
You might take a look at our centralized security server, Cams. Cams
provides SSO via Apache or Tomcat to subdomains as your show in your
request. You can find out more at http://www.cafesoft.com.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions,
Gary

Victor -
If you are talking about across different Tomcat instances no, there is
not (unless you want to write your own realm). If you have three virtual
hosts on the same server, the Tomcat SSO solution will support that. Are
you fronting Tomcat with Apache? 'Cause what you could do is have the
three virtual hosts defined in Apache and have individual JkMount
commands to make the correct context(s) avialable to each host. Just a
thought.

Lajos
