Hello!

I'm a software developer for Woodmen of the World. A co-worker asked for my assistance with integrating a single sign-on solution in Lawson under the employee self-service for signing our employees into the United Way website.

I created an HTML page that does the sign in work using Javascript. What I'd like to do is add some JS references to the page so that it can be served up on the same box as Lawson and use some kind of Javascript user object to get the employee number. I'm not sure where to start, though.

Here's some version numbers related to our installation: Portal 9.0.1.11.333, Technology 9.0.1.11.231

Is there a guide for customizations? Infor support has not been very helpful.

Thanks!

Doug

Doug,
If understand this correctly, you're trying to authenticate into the UnitedWay site, from within Portal/ESS. If I am, then what you need to do is setup a black/grey box service within the environment. Infor support *used* to have decent docs on this, but I haven't seem them in a while.

The basics are you need to understand the authentication method used in the UnitedWay site. If it's connected to a repository you can control, it's much easier, if not, then you'll have to pass the fields into the page yourself. My memory is fuzzy on this, but I believe their page had to use FORM-based authentication, unless you're on v10, and then you could use Kerberbos also.

Actually, I have the code for United Way done. The piece I am missing is the employee number from Lawson. I'm looking for a code snippet that will allow me to get the employee ID from a javascript variable. Do you have a snippet or a manual handy?
