external-auth issue on cloud Adobe Connect

A customer has a hosted adobe connect account, i.e. an account with the URL https://xxxxxxxx.adobeconnect.com

We are trying to integrate this account into a 3rd party application such that
1. Any user signing up in the external application is created in Adobe Connect
2. User should be able to click on a button in the 3rd party app, and be automatically logged into Adobe Connect and be able to access a meeting he is invited to. We want to bypass the Adobe login screen
3. We do not want to store the users' Adobe login & password for security reasons

For this, we are trying to use the HTTP header authentication method to get the cookie and then redirect the user to the meeting room, with the cookie passed in the URL. But this seems to be failing

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/9.0 … 4_SP1.html

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/9.0 … 7-7fe4_SP1

The ext-auth does not seem to be working so the auto-login on the meeting room does not seem to be happening.

Any ideas why ?

Logging in via HTTP header authentication is only available for on-premise deployments. If your account is hosted by Adobe, then it will not work.

The process of logging in from an application is described here, https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/w … uests.html. The first method is for logging in shown is for a hosted account and the second is HTTP headder authentication for an on-premise account.

Launching a meeting with external authentication is described here, https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/w … ation.html

Re: external-auth issue on cloud Adobe Connect

https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe-connect-web-services.pdf : when i referred this above PDF on page 29, it has mention that
With an Adobe Connect hosted account, you cannot use single sign-on or external authentication,

1. cant we use single sign on using cookie management or hosted account....??

and

I heard that using API we can achieve single sign-on by passing user credentials(using API) to the Main Adobe connect server...i.e after authentication of user....we can directly connect to meeting or webinar room....

2. which method and API i have to use and what are the further steps i have to follow

3. should we purchase the adobe connect so that we can install  in  on-premise(company)and use http header authentication and api??

if u have any idea... can u please share some idea and also document...

That document provides the same information that is in the links I provided in the previous post. Either way, you should use the method for logging into a hosted Connect account via an external application, which gives all the API calls needed.

If you truly want/need Single Sign On or HTTP Header Authentication, you will need an on-premise solution.

I'd be happy to work through the options off-forum if you would like. You can reach me at jorma[at]elpises.com.
