Authentication from linux LDAP to Sharepoint via ADFS 2.0?

Question

Sign in to vote

Just help me to clearify is following possible

SharePoint claim based web app configured with ADFS 2.0 for local account (hosting datacenter)

ADFS has public link same as sharepoint (Login works)

External users have linux environment with phyton application (users in database), so no ADFS 2.0 at their site.

Theoreticaly, can their phyton application send tokens to ADFS, as Identity provider, and further pass claims to sharepoint?

So users from phyton application can log on to sharepoint

Is this possible at all?

Hi,

I’m not as versed in Linux but a quick look at this chart might be able to answer the question for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML-based_products_and_services if the Linux LDAP/Python application listed there then it might work for authentication. Then you should be able to configure ADFS for it, please see this
thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/us-US/Geneva/thread/847a8d85-a6a7-4a01-9ff1-a1d8836e0993.

After that is done you will have to configure it on the SharePoint side which might require additional coding. A good resource is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg430136.aspx

Also did you intend to post this in the Pre-2010 forums? I suspected you meant 2010 there was a comment on claims based web app.
