there are an OA system, an SSO server, and a MOSS site,which is now independent of the OA and SSO server and is currently using form authentication. now customers require that they can access the moss site's pages directly within from the OA system, without filling the login form of the moss site, namely they can directly jump to pages of the moss site.

Andrew Unfortunately, SSO is not supported OOB for forms authentication. However, you can build your on SSO provider. Using the Microsoft Single Sign-On Service - The Microsoft Single Sign-On service (SSO) that is provided with Office SharePoint Server 2007 is designed to work with a Windows identity. If the current user is not a Windows user, it does not work. As a result, forms authentication users cannot take advantage of the default SSO as it is included with Office SharePoint Server 2007. Instead of SSO you would need to configure your extranet Web application to use Web SSO authentication instead of form based authentication to get this seemless "directly jump to pages of the moss site" working.

Hi Kanwal my idea is as following: can i add an aspx page(say checksso.apsx) and some codes to the moss site, then user can request this page with a parameter containing the target page(say dashboard1.aspx).while checksso.aspx receive the request, it gets ticket from the sso server, and then simulates the login action and then forwards to the target page,namely dashboard1.aspx. then my questions are how to add a page to my moss site and where to put my codes of simulating login action. i just don't know how to accomplish them within moss. TIA

Hi, Here are some my thoughts: First of all, the credentials for the OA system are available to the MOSS site. Second of all, it doesn’t matter that where are the pages, If only you access the path and provide the correct path parameters. Third of all, all you need to do is that, go to login page and create a cookie containing a form authentication ticket depending on the OA credential automatically. Then redirect to the destination page.
