ASP-Based Passport Sitelet

  • Article

Location in SDK: SDK\Samples\Classic ASP\Passport Sitelet

The primary goal of the Passport Sitelet is to demonstrate through code how to integrate Passport single sign-on capability with the Profiling System. With this capability, you and your users can benefit from a single sign-on authentication service, meaning that users can access more than one secure site with the same user name and password.

The Passport Sitelet consists of a package file, which you unpack using Commerce Server Site Packager. The source code for the sitelet is included in this package. No modification to the code is required to deploy the Passport Sitelet to a server running Commerce Server 2002.

Best coding practices are maintained in this sample, and the code represents the prescribed method of using the object model.

Installing the ASP-Based Passport Sitelet

You unpack the Passport Sitelet using Commerce Server Site Packager. The package file is located in the following directory:

<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2002\SDK\Samples\Classic ASP\Passport Sitelet\SDK-PASSPORT-SITELET.PUP

Use the following procedure to install the Passport Sitelet on one computer using the Quick mode in Site Packager.

Unpacking the ASP-based Passport Sitelet using the Custom unpack option and creating independent databases for each of the site resources is not recommended.

To unpack the Passport Sitelet

  1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2002\SDK\Samples\Classic ASP\Passport directory.

  2. Click the SDK-PASSPORT-SITELET.PUP icon.

  3. In the Unpack screen, select Quick Unpack, and then click Next.

  4. In the Quick Unpack screen, ensure that the SQL Server computer name is correct, enter the SQL Server login name and password, and then click Next.

  5. In the Commerce Server Site Packager window recommending Windows Authentication, click OK.

    By default, the sitelets do not work with Windows Authentication. For more information about configuring the sitelets to work with Windows Authentication, see step 6 in Deploying Commerce Server Using Windows Authentication.

  6. In the Profiling System screen, accept the defaults, and then click Next.

  7. In the second Profiling System screen, accept the defaults, and then click OK.

  8. After the unpacking is complete, a dialog box appears with the message "Unpacking is complete!". Click Finish.

  9. In Internet Explorer, in the Address box, type HTTP: //<computer name>/PassportSitelet to run the sitelet.
