[Building Sakai] Sakai auto-login

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

The generally accepted way to do this is using a CAS server where the  
user logs into one application and their login credentials are shared  
between the other applications that are CASified. Each app checks the  
CAS server and if the user is authenticated, uses those credentials.

You'll need a CAS server though. Heres the docs:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/~steve.swinsburg/CASifying 
+Sakai

You could also authenticate via webservices and redirect to sakai with  
the URL param ?sakai.session=12345...

which will log them in as well, assuming a valid Sakai session is  
passed in.

cheers,
Steve
