I’m working on a SSO solution.
The situation is as follows: we are working on a Ruby On Rails team
and our partners are working on a J2EE application.
We want single sign-on solution for this. It’s more appropriate that
the final solution supports all triple As (Authorization,
Authentication and Audition).
Can you please help us to reach a solution. I’ve seen freeradius but
it’s somehow complex and I can’t interact with it from a ruby client.

I have two http bassed applications, one of them is on java spring and
the other one is rails. These two apps share same database and need to
have integrated authorization/authentication. The user management UI
should be integrated in java spring application and rails application
should use it as a service.

Hi Ehsan,

I am too investigate on the same. i.e if you enter youtube, gmail, or
google+ url and click for signin. It will redirect to common page for
signin. Once you authorized user you will redirected to corresponding
domain.

I think you can use oauth.

Thanks,

Checkout this video, it will give some basics on using facebook API for
authentication, you should be able to apply some of those tips for other
API’s.

I hope this helps.
