Request Handler Function

CRM Desktop SSO routes each request from the Siebel Connector through the request_handler function. This function handles requests that occur from the Siebel Connector to the Siebel Server. This request_handler function expects a single argument that contains the initial request object from the SSO Connector. It sends a return value to the SSO Connector as if the Siebel Server sent this reply. The Siebel Connector is a proxy that resides between the Siebel Connector and Siebel Web Services. The SSO Agent protects these Web services. This proxy hides the SSO Agent from the Siebel Connector.

The following example includes a CRM Desktop SSO script that passes all requests from the Siebel Connector to the Siebel Server without doing any processing. This example is for illustration purposes only. An actual SSO Connector script includes the process_request function to do processing:

sso_client.request_handler = process_request;
function process_request(request)
{
return sso_client.execute_request(request);
}

The following line from this code defines the entry point where Siebel CRM Desktop SSO registers the handler:

sso_client.request_handler = process_request
