jsp - using cookies for single sign on with sso server -
is possible implement single sign on using authentication server(idp) using cookies ?
here scenario :
- we have multiple web applications (esp's) .
- each esp may request idp authenticate user .
- now idp authenticates user via desired authentication protocol , stores cookie in user's browser time stamp maybe .
- now next time when esp requests user authentication , first of idp checks if there exists cookie in browser , if exists authenticates user otherwise again goes through authentication process user .
please guide me if on going right track .
what suggesting referred "persistent login cookie authentication" or "remember me authentication" , it's standard practice. can find article on how implement such mechanism securely @ http://jaspan.com/improved_persistent_login_cookie_best_practice
some frameworks spring security have concept implemented in stack. might ready-made single sign-on frameworks jasig cas tend have these features available.
