User Experiences for P4S 2007
There are two potential authentication experiences for users working with Web Part pages that contain mashups or apps using Presto Add-On for SharePoint (P4S) 2007. From best experience to worst, these are:
Initial Challenge with SSO: user must login once with
Presto Servers during a (browser) session in
SharePoint for the first mashup or app that a user encounters in a Web Part page. No additional login challeges are issued for any other mashups or apps during that browser session. However, each new session in
SharePoint requires a initial login to
Presto.
All Challenges: no authentication information is shared between
SharePoint and Presto with this design. Users must login with
Presto Servers for
every mashup or app that requires authentication. Obviously, this is the least user-friendly experience.
