SSO in a feature that will allow your customers thousands of users to get into a PJ Storefront without logging in. This is possible if they are already logged into their own corporate or other private network.

Create a SSO entry on the list at the following location:

The "Referrer Domain" field can be anything you like, it doesn't have to match any real domain. Its more like a login name.

Once you have created the SSO entry, you can then read the resulting page of instructions. Take the code on that page and give it to the customers IT person, so that they can place it as a link in a suitable place on their system.

Once setup, their users can 'one click' their way into the PJ Storefront.

How it works

In order to login remotely you have to send a "POST request" (the code we give you) to your PJ system URL. This can take the form of a button on say bbcnews.com called "Go To PrintJob".

That whole POST request is sent to a PJ server. The PJ server has to verify the sender and does so by verifying the REFERRER NAME and the REFERRER KEY. Once both fields are verified further actions can take place, namely

  • Matching the user with an existing profile, and logging them in seamlessly.

  • Adding the new user into the system and logging them in seamlessly.

It doesn't actually matter what the REFERRER NAME is. The REFERRER NAME and REFERRER KEY are in fact like a login id and password. It just needs to match the REFERRER NAME in the PJ System

So you can make the REFERRER NAME 'MONKEYMAGIC2.COM'. It just has to match on both sides (in the 3rd party code, and in the corresponding code on the PJ System).

Did this answer your question?
