If you are using siteminder the only
way to decrypt their cookie is either through their agent or some API call.
ColdFusion is a different web/app server and won't know how to do
anything with that cookie. Your application will always present the
user a login page unless your CF server has either an agent or makes an
API call to decrypt the cookie. I use a 'similar product' and the
cookie created by siteminder will be decrypted by their proprietary decryption
algorithm -- which I don't think is available as open source.
Okay, so, where can I read about making an API call to siteminder to
decrypt the cookie? If I can use java, I *should* be able to
integrate into coldfusion.
Also, what is the 'similar product'? If it isn't too expensive, perhaps I can make a case for purchasing it.
Thanks!
