but the problem is with top bar login which is on all public pages - we are not able to "simulate" this on IdP side.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div>Okay, now we're getting at the root of your requirements. So what you're saying is they have a form that appears on all pages that allows you to type in your username and password (not a link to a login form)?<br>
<br></div><div>e.g. Instead of a login button at the top like <a href="http://wordpress.com/">http://wordpress.com/</a> they want input fields like viewing a Facebook page not logged in?<br><br></div><div>As people have said, that isn't the way an IdP is meant to work,<b> if</b> you're having the IdP handle the authentication.<br>
</div><div><br>The only way I can think to make that work is if the SSO piece is handled through that and when they click to login it does the authentication *before it hits the IdP* (e.g. setting the username to REMOTE_USER) then redirecting to the IdP not for authentication, but just to do whatever lookup of information you need on the user before the authorization happens.<br>
