[Building Sakai] Sakai Authentication with JSESSIONID

[John Bush]

yeah, we've done this, jsessionid is not the way.  You want to use the
sakai.session parameter.  If you set that, any call to the portal will
log the user in.  So basically you use SakaiLogin.jws webservice to
log on and get a sakai session then redirect the user to any url in
sakai and attach sakai.session=XXXX to the url.  Badda bing logged on.

I think you need to set session.parameter.allow=true in order to turn
this feature on in your local.properties.

We've done some work on top of this to make it more of an encrypted
token that gets sent through this mechanism so its a little more
secure, and avoids needing to know the users pwd, but some basic
concept.
