Where the vales like Userid and passwords are stored in SSO of BTDF

Question

I have a query regarding BTDF SSO config setting. I am beginner with BizTalk.

I am looking for SSO storage where credentials are stored and retrieved from SSO. I have built-in app located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Deployment Framework for BizTalk 6.0\Framework\DeployToolsork\DeployTools

Could anyone tell me how to store and retrieve from existing SSO config like SSOSettingsEditor which is the default provided by BTDF.

Answer 1

Using BTDF, you can store your configurations as provided in SettingsFileGenerator.xml in BizTalk SSODB. BTDF automatically store your configuration if IncludeSSO property is set to true in btdfproj file.

If you have provided your credential details in SettingsFileGenerator.xml file then only you will find them in SSODB.

You should use SSOSettingsEditor to retrieve or make changes to the configurations. In SSOSettingsEditor, type in your application name and press enter.

Refer to link: BTDF IncludeSSO

Answer 2

BTDF provides a library for modifying SSO Settings that it uses. The method is uses is slightly different from the default Microsoft sample SSO client, so take care regarding which one you're using.

Per that link, the class provides these methods:

namespace SSOSettingsFileManager
{
    public static class SSOSettingsManager
    {
        public static void WriteSetting(string affiliateApplication, string propertyName, string propertyValue);
    }
}

It should be fairly straightforward to call that method once you've added a reference to the SSOSettingsFileReader.dll in whatever C# project you have generating your password or updating it, i.e.

string newPassword = GenerateMyPassword();
SSOSettingsFileManager.SSOSettingsManager.WriteSetting("MyApplicationName", "Password", newPassword;);

You could also look at the source of how he's doing it if you want to implement the method yourself.
