OLAC, form fill and personalization

[bctechnology]

hello,

I'm fairly new to this but I think I might have an idea on how to do what I want and need confirmation that my approach is correct.

I have a legacy coldfusion app that looks up an ldap server for the user's name, password and role (context). Based on the role and username, it will display personalized content. this legacy app was using cookies to store info/variables which the page then uses to query a database to retrieve more/any content.

If i want to use SSO, do I:

1. use the form calogldp.htm and put the roles/context in the drop down box?

2. How would I write the form fill? can you give me an idea how it looks like?

3. Then do I look at using OLAC to put the info I need in the html header so the coldfusion app can grab it?

4. how would the form fill look like if i don't want to use calogldp.htm and continue to use the coldfusion page instead and still work as SSO?

thanks
