Implementing SSO with jasper server header information

[Portlight]

I have my primary web server as iis (this can not be changed). The Primary application has a custom built login and sso method. There is a cookie passed in the header.

I am implementing jasperServer 5.6.1

I need to be able to take this cookie and create the log on for jasper - this needs to be a true logon. I am not sure how to go about this.  I have read all of the documentation but there are holes that I do not know how to fill.

Any help is appreciated.

If you don't already know this, the place to start is the token-based authentication in the authentication cookbook:

I'm sure there are plenty of holes, but it would help if you gave more detail about what you can/cannot do.

Agree with elizam.

If you create questions based on concrete problems on holes that you are having problem filling with, you'll probably get a better answer.

I have read the "cookbook" and frankly just do not know where to start. Should I use external authentication or should I try to setup a CAS server (I think this would not be a good solution based on the customers criteria), or token based authentication.
