Urgent help required

[Virajitha Sarma]

Hi,

I am trying to use "RemoteUser" authentication. The reason for using this
is explained below:
I have a client web application A that has its own authentication
mechanism. I am also setting up IDP for SSO across multiple applications. I
want that the web application performs authentication and just tells IDP to
maintain session for this user. i.e.,
1. user access the web application.
2. web application asks for user credentials and authenticates him
3. web application tells IDP to maintain the session for this user.

For this I am trying to use "RemoteUser" authentication. I have configured
the IDP (idp.properties) to use RemoteUser. And after the web application
authenticates the user, i simply call the /Authn/remoteUser servlet. But
the servlet is throwing "Conversation key not set error". I tried to find
some kind of documentation on this but couldnot find any.
Could you please let me know:
1. if "remoteUser" authentication method can be used for my use case
scenario?
2. If else, how the conversaiton key error can be resolved?


Thanks and Regards,
Virajitha
