Community Building with ChatSpace Server Manual

on the ChatSpace server. If the main site and the ChatSpace site are on the
same system this link is not a problem.
If the sites are on different systems, you can create a hypertext link or a form
which points to an .ASP page on the ChatSpace server. That server can
create the Single Sign-on Pass Ticket Authentication link or redirect.
The hypertext link, or the form, should contain all the login information
needed to do Single Sign-on Pass Ticket Authentication, including user name,
password, email, first and last name. Only the user name is mandatory.
For example the URL.: http://localhost/wb/
localPassticketLogin.asp?ChatSpaceLogin=mike
works the example below, localPassticketLogin.asp.
The ASP page on the ChatSpace server needs to go in the same directory as
the rest of your ChatSpace ASP pages. Locating the ASP page in that
directory allows it to create session objects that the main ChatSpace ASP
pages can read.
This ASP page needs to create a CSSoap.Tools object. Instead of accessing
this object via SOAP, it accesses it directly. This ASP page creates the pass
ticket then does a redirect to the main or default.asp.
See the localPassticketLogin.asp example above.
Security Restrictions
A note on security: if you use the example localPassticketLogin.asp or a
similar page inside a larger web site, you must restrict that page's access to
only to the people who are logged into your site.
