.. _Introduction:

Introduction
------------

This is a Typo3 extension for authenticating front end users using the
`A-Select Authentication System <http://aselect.surfnet.nl/>`_ . This
extension enables a secure single-sign-on mechanism for TYPO3 and a
single user can be shared across any number of installations.

To use this extension, you must have a working A-Select server and
agent setup. Additionally, the agent should allow interaction using a
socket based interface.


.. _Installation-Configuration:

Installation & Configuration
----------------------------

Follow normal installation procedure using the extension manager.
After installation you will be presented with a couple of options:

Enable features

Enable invisible authentication : This is an optional feature allowing
the administrator to enable invisible authentication i.e. the user
will not see the A-Select interface for login. However, the URL of the
site will be modified to carry the key.

Enable import/update of data during authentication : This optional
feature allows the user data to be imported during login and be saved
as a unique TYPO3 front end user. Use this if your site uses unique
user information.

A-Select agent IP : This is the IP of your A-Select agent system.
Mandatory field.

(b) Application id : This is theapplication id. Mandatory field.

(c) A-Select agent port : This is the port for the A-Select agent.
Mandatory field.

(d) Data mapping for Import/update : This field allows mapping of the
user information as offered by A-Select to the TYPO3 user table
fields. The format is target\|source separated by commas. Example: If
you want the field 'company' offered by A-Select to be imported into
TYPO3 in the 'organization' field, use organization\|company.

Miscellaneous [parameter setting for file : agent.xml]

(a) admin\_gui : to get the interface change its value to “true“.

e.g. <admin\_gui>true</admin\_gui>

(b) truststore : when version is different , change the trusstote
