Integrating a Custom Login page with Yellowfin, with Custom Authentication
17 June, 2015
1. User logs-in into custom login page
2. Custom authentication and authorization API�s are invoked for validating the user and determining his Role/privileges [User Authentication & Authorization]
3. If this is the first time a user is logging in, and it�s a valid user, we add him to Yellowfin using addUser API [User synchronisation]
4. Enable single sign on by invoking the loginNoPassword API, which generates a unique session Id for the user [Single Sign on]
5. The user is redirected to Yellowfin logon URL with session token, which skips Yellowfin authentication and starts the user�s session [URL Redirection]
Attached document describes in brief of how we have implemented it currently.
