    on LSF9, AIX, Oracle.

    I've created a set of frames that present ESS without the use of portal.  It only calls the htm and js files.  This way we can provide ESS to employees from home without the need for portal (long story).

    With 9, I'm trying to authenticate the entire "sub site" to the LSF9 security.  My thought over the weekend was to use an .htaccess file to point the security at the Tivoli LDAP.  Has anyone done this?  The syntax is a little confusing.

      What is your goal? Are you trying to authenticate against Lawson SSO?

        Yes. Exactly. It's on the same server but in a different folder that references the same htm files that ESS does. I want the up-front authentication to be clean.

          Have you looked at the Portal documentation--there is a section in there on how to embed Portal forms in another framework via IFRAMEs (which sounds similar to what you are doing) so that it doesn't load Portal. I would assume you can use the same technique. One other thing you could do is perform a simple task in your code, like a simple DME query or something, that presents a Lawson SSO dialog prior to starting your app.

            Thanks for the idea. I'm looking at it but it's a little vague. I'm going to search for some more examples. Let me know if you have some details. I'll keep this thread updated.

              The frames I have work. I'm only trying to get past one annoyance: I don't get prompted for authentication until I hit a link to a lawson htm file. It's not that bad, I would just like to prompt for login before any pages are displayed.
