Gigya SSO - Authentication Integration

Has anyone done any SSO integration with Gigya - http://www.gigya.com or http://www.rpxnow.com

 

Gigya offers a perfect service for the SSO authentication process. I wanted to see if anyone has written any mods for this??

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks!

Never heard of this Gigya thing, so not sure, but I've built my own SSO system a couple years ago and it took me about a day to integrate it with D7 and another day to support a connection method for the SSO that supports "remembering" the connected member.

How adept are you at coding?  If you use an HTTP sniffer to look at how D7 handles session & cookie tracking, and are willing to tweak your Profiles table to support an extra field or 2 then it's not that hard.  You can also use a separate table for SSO session tracking to keep the D7 tables "pure".

Sorry I don't have my mod available, it's back-end is tied to the main service my SSO system is tied to, but thanks for the link to Gigya - it gives me an idea on how to use my SSO system to handle essentially the same thing... just there are too many proprietary connection methods between all kinds of social sites, which I think is where Gigya comes in handy (they've done all the hard work).  I know I wouldn't want to constantly debug 15 different social media site connect APIs, and something like OpenID adds one extra step I don't want to bother with.

There are quite a few out there of these SSO passing system. Here is a list of the ones I have found to be interesting enough to consider.

 

RPXNow - http://www.rpxnow.com

Gigya - http://www.gigya.com

ClickPass - http://www.clickpass.com

HybridAuth - http://hybridauth.sourceforge.net

 

With HybridAuth - you get all the code and the connection request will say <YOURSITE> is requesting access from the different IdP (Identity Providers) but it tends to have more bugs then the others. Gigya is FREE and everyone loves FREE. Rpx grabs lots of data but you will end up paying $10/month. Clickpass just uses the OpenID system and you can get an OpenID mod from ESASE here.

 

I am hoping that Boonex will be smart enough to incorporate some option into their 7.1 or 8.0 release that allows using multiple Identity Providers so people are not asked to input all their data to join, since it seems thats where everyone is headed. There could be an Admin feature that allows site owners to activate this feature if they want to open up the community.

 

Let me know if you are willing to share your code and I can give you my email.

 

Thanks in advance.
