I am trying to write a program that will login a user programatically into a ArcGIS portal.
Here is my scenario:
User logs in to application A, user clicks a link to the ArcGIS portal - I do not want them to have to login to the portal when they click that link because that have already logged into application A.
SO
I would like:
User logs in to application A, user clicks a button containing the portal link as an argument and redirects to application B. Application B logs the user into portal and redirects them with the link from application A - the user is redirected without being prompted to login.
The portal is using portal tier authentication and I am using javascript but I could also use .NET/C#
UPDATE:
My current solution looks like this:
var url = "https://PORTAL_DOMAIN/portal/sharing/rest/generateToken"; var redirect = "https://PORTAL_DOMAIN/portal/home/webmap/PLACE_I_WANT_TO_REDIRECT_TO"; var params = { 'username': "username", 'password': "password", 'client': "referer", 'referer': redirect, 'expiration': 60, 'f': 'json' }; $.post(url, params) .done(function (data) { var tokenHolder = JSON.parse(data); var token = tokenHolder.token; $('body').append(token); document.cookie("esri_auth", token); window.location = redirect; });
This code gets me a token from the rest service - I try to store it has a cookie but it doesn't persist.
I have also tried using a C# web request and a credential cache to generate the credentials AND using the .NET proxy to try and pass through my portal URL and store the credentials server side but I didn't save the code I was using.
