The data structure storing user information in the system now includes a Single Sign On ID field. This
field can contain a unique ID value that matches a unique ID value in the customer’s user database(s).
When this ID is passed (via form post) to the a special page (signin.aspx) which then bypasses the
system’s login page; it matches the ID within the system user table and logs in as that user. In addition,
a password can be included for an additional level of security. (The PermitEmptyPasswordSSO setting is
an entry in the Digital StoreFrontConfiguration table and its values can either be True or False.)
Summary: Login bypass is used when the site administrator wants users to be able to bypass the login
on the Digital StoreFront home page by passing login credentials from an external system.
What is Login Bypass?
Login bypass allows for the Digital StoreFront home/login page to be bypassed if the referring system
passes the authentication information.
What are the requirements to implement it?
In order to implement login bypass database synchronization between the customer’s system
and the Digital StoreFront user database is required.
How to implement Login Bypass
The data structure storing user information in Digital StoreFront now includes a “Login Bypass Unique
ID” field. This field can contain a unique ID value that matches a unique ID value in the customer’s user
database(s). When this ID is passed (via form post) to a special Digital StoreFront page (signin.aspx),
Digital StoreFront matches the ID to the field in the Digital StoreFront user table and logs in as that user.
In addition, the password can be required for an additional level of security. This requirement is
configured by setting the PermitEmptyPasswordSSO field in the Web.config file.
