Hi All,

Here is my setup. I have thinktecture setup as IP, called mySTS. I have a rp setup to passive redirect to mySTS, let's call it PortalSite. Now, any un-authenticated request to PortalSite will be redirected to mySTS login page, this works fine. 

Now, I have another website, let's call it PublicSite. What I need to do is to have a login section on the landing page within PublicSite. After user enters username and password, it will redirect to the home page on PortalSite. 

I am aware that I can just put a link to the home page of PortalSite on the landing page, it be redirect the mySTS login. But I like to explore the option of doing login directly from the landing page within PublicSite.

Any suggestions on how I might approach this problem? 

thanks,

john

The issue is that all these 3rd Party auth protocols have a different mindset. They want to encourage the use to type in their Password *only* at the IdP.

That means the scenario you are describing isn't covered by WS-Fed. You would Need to find your own handrolled mechanism to transmit the credentials to the IdP from your app.
