How to use dotCMS (or another system) as the authentication for the IdP

I wasn't saying change the subject line necessarily, I was saying that you asked two different questions and I had no idea which one you meant to ask.

Assuming you're actually asking *this* question, the login handlers that come with the IdP are documented in the wiki, and basically consist of User/Pass, RemoteUser, and External. There is no magic answer to "how to make any system work for authentication to the IdP". That depends entirely on the system.

If neither User/Pass or RemoteUser are viable, then you're left with using the External handler to build in your own integration, or building a new login handler outright in most cases.
