Is there a way to authenticate a userid/password behind the scence and take them straight to the portal home page when it is valid. Any sample code or direction where to read would be appreciated. I also would like to use ADFS from microsoft to authenticate for Lawson access. Let me know if anyone are working on this. Thank you very much.

Environment:
Lawson 9.0.0
Window Server 2003 R2

Charlie, take a look at the LSF documentation, specifically a document called "Doc for Developers: IOS Application Program Interfaces". In that document, see Chapter 7, Authenticating Programmatically to Lawson.

By the way, a clarification on your message.

The method you are describing (using AD to authenticate to Portal) is actually what is done by the Lawson authentication service. I think what you're implying is that you want to do your own single-sign-on (perhaps thru a corporate portal, which is using integrated security) and then pass that user straight into Lawson Portal?

You can't authenticate outside of Lawson as far as I know (i.e. using integrated security), but you might be able to use the method described in the Lawson documentation to bypass the Lawson logon page by doing the authentication within some custom code.
