Several months ago, we started using the Multiple Server/SSO setting with LTPA tokens. We set up our server this way to keep users from getting challenged every time they enter a new directory as they go from one db to the next.
This approach worked fine until we added PDAs to the mix. Our PDA users connect with AvantGo’s M-Business server, and M-Biz connects with Domino. Unfortunately, the tokens are forcing PDA users to synchronize twice: Once to get the Domino challenge and once to respond to it.
Our goal is to set up the PDAs so that users never have to establish their credentials again. In other words, challenge and response would be handled by the servers without human intervention.
I’ve thought of one way to deal with this issue: Just move all the dbs out of their respective directories and place them all under the root. Then, we wouldn’t have to worry about realms and tokens.
Before I take that step, however, I’m wondering if anyone has any other ideas for me. For example, is there a way to establish a reliable realm without using tokens? Neither I nor our commercial host has ever been able to get the R5 realm docs working right, so that’s probably not an option.
Is there a way to set up site documents or web config docs so that we don’t have to use tokens; i.e., can we implement a non-expiring cookie?
Any creative suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks.
