Open-Xchange servlet for external login masks
Who should read this document
This document is written for web developers who would like to create a custom login mask for the Open-Xchange server. The login mask can reside on an external server i. e., not directly located in the domain of the Open-Xchange machines. It is also intended for administrators who install and maintain Open-Xchange services.
Description
The Open-Xchange HTTP API has a function to create a session from external.
In order for this mechanism to work, you need to set com.openexchange.sessiond.autologin=true in /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/sessiond.properties
Example form
A recent version of this sample can be found in the open-xchange package within the directory in /usr/share/doc.
