I have a customer that I’m developing a solution for on RoR. They have  
IIS  
today and use Sharepoint for their intranet. Is it possible to have some  
kind of single sign-on between these systems? So when a user is logged  
in to  
ther Sharepoint she will also be logged in to my rails-app? We haven’t  
decided yet on what to deploy rails on so I’m open to suggestions… If  
we  
would use Ruby under IIS (wich I’m a bit hesitant to do after reading  
all  
the horror stories), would that make it simpler? Can IIS and Rails share  
the  
same authentication?

You might be able to use this…

not strictly what you talking about, but may help you depending on your  
context: you could interact with SharePoint based on his web services (

an example ), or through a COM API in share point…

just rough ideas

Hi,

I’ve created a .NET httpmodule to interact with RoR via SCGI. It would  
be quite doable to implement a SSO solution using this strategy based on  
some form of session sharing between rails and .NET (.NET/Sharepoint  
keeping RoR sessions alive and pass authentication information to RoR).

Thing in I still have a major issue with uploading binaries which holds  
me back from publishing [scgi.net](http://scgi.net) publicly. I would be happy to share  
sources to solve my and your problem 😉

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll look into it some more and see what  
I  
can come up with.
