[Building Sakai] Portal login with webservices

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Carl,

Two ways forward with this:

1. you can reinstate the SakaiPortalLogin.jws
2. you can use getSessionForUser(String sessionid, String eid) if you have an admin session established, and it will return a session for the given user.

If 2 doesn't do what you need, we can reinstate SakaiPortalLogin if it can get some documentation. 

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This jws file has been archived now but I'm not seeing a clear path for continuing the previous action.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? _______________________________________________
