auto-login for customers

Hello, I would like to auto-login into "customer.pl" by clicking on a link on an our CRM. I see that a quick way is it passing user/pass to the URL, but it's not a security best practice. Should be correct to obtain a auto-login without: - storing the password on the source system - passing it to the URL I searched on the documentation and found nothing. Does exist a native way to perform this or not? Thanks Matteo

I would recommend a real single sign on. You'll find ne example (Apache, Kerberos + LDAP) here [1]https://active-directory-wp.com/docs/Networking/Single_Sign_On/Kerberos_SSO_... kind reagards -- Florian [1] https://active-directory-wp.com/docs/Networking/Single_Sign_On/Kerberos_SSO_...

Yes, it's a way, but it has a different approach. I see that feature in lot's of project and this will discourage to save user password in some place when you have to manage this type of integration. example Plesk: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213411289-How-to-create-autologi... For OTRS, I submitted the idea to the https://otrsteam.ideascale.com/a/idea-v2/543907 if someone else in the world does need it. Vote it. A disruptive but interesting way to increase the awareness of this security aspect, it is to remove, in a future release, the capability of auto-login passing the "user/password" to the customer.pl login form. I think that the project will collect lots of complaints...but all these unhappy people were saving the passwords of their users and passing it in clear text to an url... Regards, M.

We use ADFS with OTRS which is fully transparent, there isn’t even a username/password form to fill. Regards, Sander

Hi Matteo,
Did you think about AD/LDAP integration in OTRS?
