[Building Sakai] Portal login with webservices

[Steve Swinsburg]

Yep, documentation in the code. See SakaiScript.jws.

If you are keen, there is also this page in Confluence which could get some end user doco:

cheers,
Steve

This jws file has been archived now but I'm not seeing a clear path for continuing the previous action. In my case, there's an external application that is calling into Sakai for more information and is not privy to the user's password. Is there a suggested path to move from the shared portal secret used in SakaiPortalLogin.jws to SakaiLogin.jws? _______________________________________________
