Accessing Pega through Link on external JSP Page
I have below requirement. If anybody has implemented this or provide me with the best solution to this problem?
- There is an application written in JSP. That JSP page has a Link. On click of that link a Pega application will open in a separate window.
- The J2EE application is already authenticated and will pass the user name to Pega for SSO . Other than that some other data like name , address etc will also be passed to Pega.
- The Pega application is using LDAP authentication for SSO and currently getting some data using HttpServletRequest. The same thing can be used. But how the J2EE application will send those data through the link clicked?

I got the solution. Actually it can be done through a javascript itself. The URL should be appended with query string where the password should be sent as a base 64 version.

I used the below standalong HTML pseudo code for testing it.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function viewWindow(){
var password =window.btoa('rules');
var url = '<Pega URL>';
url = url+'&Password='+'cnVsZXM=';
var viewWindow = window.open(url,
'pega_window','menubar=no resizable=no scrollbars=yes dependent=yes toolbar=no status=yes height=500 width=950 left=35 top=10');
viewWindow.focus();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="JavaScript:viewWindow(<username>,<password>)">Access Pega</a>
</body>
