Sample authentication service for NetDimensions Talent Suite, implemented in PHP

This project provides a sample authentication service for use with NetDimensions Talent Suite, implemented in PHP. Note that this code is intended primarily to demonstrate the delegated authentication protocol. It does not validate user credentials against a real directory service or database.

You may adapt this code to create your own authentication service for Talent Suite.

Deployment

You will need to modify the values of two variables in config.php as follows:

• $ekp_base will need to point to the base URL of your Talent Suite installation; and
• $key will need to contain the secret key value used to compute the MD5 cryptographic hash for the response.

Configuration

To configure the sample authentication service, set the properties listed below in /WEB-INF/conf/ekp.properties.

• authentication.key should be set to the same value as the $key variable mentioned above.
• authentication.service.url should be set to point to the absolute URL of sso.php.
