Single Sign On between Messenger Express and Delegated Administrator
Hello,
I am working with old versions of both ME and DA. Long story short, this is because of using a packaged product. We can't upgrade until the vendor does.
So, that being said, I'm trying to setup the best experience for my users. I'm on:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.10 (built Dec 26 2005)
iDA for Messaging and Collaboration 1.2
SSO between ME and DA works intermittently. Maybe 60% of the time. A colleague suggested I look at the session cookie being set by messenger express to debug this. In his testing, he noticed that every time the cookie contained a non alpha-numeric character, SSO failed. Sure enough, I validated his testing and reproduced the same results.
For example, a cookie like this succeeds and causes no problems:
ssogrp1-msg50: kOyCPoZ0gKw
Cookies like these, however, fail to SSO into DA :
ssogrp1-msg50: ab+WblyWTsY
ssogrp1-msg50: N8/9P9iaEng
Any ideas? Has this ever been logged as a defect or patched? Or, am I just out of luck because my app versions are antiquated at this point and I need to wait for the opportunity to upgrade? Is it possible to configure iDA to only allow alphanumeric characters in the session cookie?
Thanks :- )
