Single Sign-On Help
I'm currently in the final stages of selecting a CMS for my company and one of the things that will help sway the decision is how easy it is to integrate the CMS with our CRM system/database. All of our customer info will stay on our CRM system, so customers will need to authenticate/login to that database. While I'm almost positive I can make this work with Kentico via the API, I'm wondering if anyone here has done something like this already. If you could provide me a 50,000-ft overview of how you did it (e.g. what pieces of the API you used, etc.), I'm really just trying to gague level of effort at an extremely high level at this point.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers you can provide (it might help swing us to picking Kentico!).

Hi Jeff,
this task should be rather easy, we have our own example describing necessary steps to achieve this functionality in our developer's guide(Security handler).
Best Regards,
Zbysek Nemec.

I followed the steps outline in the documentation and implemented a solution pretty quickly. Kentico's API covers a lot, if i need to do something i find myself checking their API first to see if its already there. I use many objects in CMS.GlobalHelper.

I do remember bumping into an issue debugging locally. I ended up finding a solution on a microsoft blog.
