XML Gateway

The XMLGateway, primarily provided by the UIS portion of the IST organization, provides a way for “vendors” (basically, anyone who’s been approved) to authenticate using the WebLogin system and establish a trust to authenticate users and exchange university-owned information.

This wiki (moin) that you are currently viewing uses the XMLGateway in order to authenticate users.

If you’re interested in using the XMLGateway in your application, you should send an e-mail to xg@bu.edu , and explain what you’re trying to do. The basic gateway can provide you with basic information about the authenticating user, so you can automatically create accounts and have a unique identifier for the remote user. Contact xg@bu.edu for more information.

See some of the applications of the gateway here:http://uis-eta.bu.edu/demo/xml_gateway/.
