I have public dashboard page that does not require authentication. I'm trying to implement the functionality of optionally “Login” (authenticate) on this page. After the user clicks on “Login”, entering the user name and password I want to run ldap authentication and display “admin” type of functionality on the page. Some of the functionality will allow the admin user to open a popup from another application to maintain the content of the page.
Currently the application has no authentication scheme. I added Login Page and LDAP authentication. The current authentication is “no authentication”. I removed the Login URL parameters to prevent the login page from being displayed. I changed the Login Page to be modal and added a button that displays the modal login page. I looked into APEX_LDAP and APEX_AUTHENTICATION api's but not sure if colling those will do the trick to make apex establish a session which will allow me to open modals from another application.
Does anyone implemented something similar? An example will be great :-). Running Apex 23.2.
