So I am trying to set up a single sign on solution from another company's website to ours. My process is something like
1)user clicks a link
2)requesting company's server sends a single sign on request to us
3)we verify the requesting company's request
4)we send a token for the requesting company to send with a redirect to our site
5)user's browser redirects to our site, sending the token to us
6)we use the token to authenticate the user
There are a number of checks in place to keep everything safe, but the most important part of the process is that we trust the company making the request, not the user.
The thing that worries me in this case is that the other company's website is a Sharepoint site. I know nothing at all about Sharepoint. Back when we were an ASP shop (we are J2EE now), I implemented the requesting company's part (for a different requesting company) using MSXML. But I can't seem to find anything about Sharepoint servers submitting http requests. Hopefully this is just because I am too unfamiliar with Sharepoint to do the right search or see the answer in front of me. Can someone point me to an example or object that Sharepoint uses to submit HTTP requests?
