WebAuth is an authentication system for web pages and web applications. The
|
|
first time a user attempts to access a web page protected by WebAuth, they
|
|
will be sent to a central login server (weblogin.stanford.edu at Stanford)
|
|
and prompted to authenticate. Normally, they will be asked for a username
|
|
and password, although other authentication methods are possible. Once the
|
|
user has logged in, the weblogin server will send their encrypted identity
|
|
back to the original web page they were trying to access. Their identity
|
|
will also be stored in a cookie set by the weblogin server and they will
|
|
not need to authenticate again until their credentials expire, even if
|
|
they visit multiple protected web sites.
|
|
|
|
WebAuth works with any browser that supports cookies, requires no agents
|
|
or other software installed on the client web browser systems, and works
|
|
with an existing Kerberos v5 authentication realm. It can also be used as
|
|
the SSO provider for a Shibboleth IdP and supports SPNEGO authentication
|
|
as well as username/password over TLS/SSL. See the page on WebAuth features
|
|
for more major features and a brief comparison with other web
|
|
authentication systems.
