WIND Integration (Columbia University Specific)

Columbia University's WIND Authentication Service is a special case of Sundial's interoperation with different authentication services.

Portal / Application Integration (Single-Sign On)

Sundial's event retrieval interface may be integrated within portals or other applications to provide calendar services. Such portals or applications may make proxied WIND client requests on behalf of an authenticated user.

The proxy granting application, should make a proxy ticket request specifying the following desitination/target service URI:

https://calendar.columbia.edu/sundial/webapi/get.php

The proxy ticket returned should then be passed to the event retrival interface along with the event retrieval interface's auth variable. The value of the auth variable should be set to wind to indicate WIND authentication. Although the ticketid variable will have no meaning to the event retrieval interface, it will be accesible to and interpreted by Sundial's Wind authentication service interface. For example,

https://calendar.columbia.edu/sundial/webapi/get.php?auth=wind&ticketid=yadayada&dateStart=2003-10-1

Stand-alone

Additionally, one may request that Sundial prompt for authentication via WIND via the event retrieval interface's auth request variable by specifying the value wind.

Upon succesful authentication, the authenticated user will have access to event information restricted to security groups or populations of whom they are a member.

For example,

https://calendar.columbia.edu/sundial/webapi/get.php?auth=wind&dateStart=2003-10-1
