Open an external webpage, login and redirect to a custom url

Posted on by Davide Cerqua 235

Hello all,

I am looking a way to:

  1. open an external login web page (external static url) clicking on a ribbon button
  2. Make an automatic login 
  3. And make an immediately redirect to a dynamic url page inside the private area of that webportal.

I have found a walk around to get the first and the second points, but then i lose the web page control and i can't redirect. 

Someone knows the best practice to do that?

Thanks a lot!

BR,

Davide

    Davide,

    How are you authenticating?

    The scenario you are describing sounds very similar to how ADFS 1.0 worked. If users didn't have a valid claim, they were redirected to an ADFS server for authentication. Then ADFS would redirect them back to a URL that was passed as a parameter.

    It sounds like you want to redirect to an external page, allow them to login, and have that external page redirect to a URL.

    I think you could only do this either through using an IFRAME (which would likely be problematic), or if your external login page allowed you to pass a URL to redirect users to after they authenticate.

    Without knowing the details of your authentication mechanism or your external authentication service, its hard to know best practice.

    Ok so i can use an IFrame,

    that login web page has only 2 input tag (id="username", id="password")

    how can i pass the values for these tags and then execute like

    document.getElementById('login').submit();     ?

    I think it is possible do that easily,

    but i could loose the control of the external webpage so the redirect it won't work...

    If your webpage is external, you would be using cross-site scripting. This is controlled at the browser level, and usually locked down because of security.

    If this isn't a problem for you, then you can grab your IFRAME as an object and call jscript on that IFRAME.

    document.* will only work against the DOM on the page the jscript resides.

    You would have to call jscript through your IFRAME object (ex. myIFRAME.getElementById('login').submit(); )

    Is your external authentication source giving you a claim?

    Usually its a better practice to redirect to the external login page, and pass a URL for the login page to redirect back to. Or to use your external authentication site's API to build a local script to pass to the external site for authentication.
