Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Release Notes

Post authentication plug-in supports Microsoft SharePoint (CR 6541695)

The Access Manager post-authentication plug-in (ReplayPasswd.java) has been modified in this patch release to read the com.sun.am.sharepoint_login_attr_name=sharepoint-login-value property. The value of this property indicates the user token that SharePoint uses for authentication.

For example, if “login” is the LDAP attribute that is mapped in both the places (Access Manager and SharePoint), then the property should be com.sun.am.sharepoint_login_attr_name=login.

The post-authentication plug-in will read this property and retrieve the corresponding value from Directory Server. It will then replace this value as a session property. The IIS6 authentication plug-in is modified to read this new property and set authorization headers for Sharepoint to work.
