User Authentication Experiences for P4S 2010
There are three potential authentication experiences for users working with Web Part pages that contain mashups or apps using MashZone NextGen Add-On for SharePoint (P4S) 2010. From best experience to worst, these are:
*Full Single Sign-On: with this experience, a user logs into SharePoint. Their SharePoint credentials are used without any additional login challenges to authenticate with MashZone NextGen Servers for any mashups or apps the user may work with in Web Part pages.
*Initial Challenge Only: this provides a partial SSO experience limiting login challenges to a single challenge for the first mashup or app that a user encounters in a Web Part page. In addition to logging in with SharePoint, a user must login with MashZone NextGen Servers once during a session in SharePoint (a browser session). Each new session in SharePoint may require this initial login to MashZone NextGen.
*All Challenges: no authentication information is shared between SharePoint and MashZone NextGen with this design. Users must login with MashZone NextGen Servers for every mashup or app that requires authentication. Obviously, this is the least user-friendly experience.
You choose an appropriate user experience based the Authentication Designs for P4S 2010 available for your SharePoint environment.
