NetDimensions Talent Suite Portal Template

A basic template for a PHP portal site that calls NetDimensions Talent Suite's API using delegated authentication.

To configure delegated authentication you will need to rename the file named config_sample.php to config.php and then edit the values of the variables described below.

• $ekp_base needs to point to the base URL of the NetDimensions Talent Suite site.
• $auth_key should have the same value as the authentication.key property defined in /WEB-INF/conf/ekp.properties.
• Create a user in NetDimensions Talent Suite with the Switch User permission (probably a System Administrator) and configure $admin_user_name and $admin_password as, respectively, the user ID and password of that user. (This is the user that the PHP site will authenticate as when calling the API.)
• $auth_callback should be the absolute URL of the file auth_callback.php.

You will also need to add the host name or IP address of the PHP site to the list Trusted relying parties for delegated authentication, which is under the Users category of Manage > System Administration > System Settings > System Configuration. (The value configured here must exactly match the host portion of the $auth_callback value configured above.)

If you want to use a custom login page template for the portal (that is, different from the generic login page template for the NetDimensions Talent Suite site), place the login page template under the /WEB-INF/conf/ directory and add the value host:template under Trusted relying parties for delegated authentication, where host is the host name or IP address of the PHP site and template is the file name of the custom login page template. Example: www.example.com:myTemplate.wm

Delegated authentication is explained in more detail in the documentation.
