Hey folks - I've got a really simple question about SSO params. I have looked around but just got more confused

Now, I'm seting our system up so that our systems are the master authenticator, and we'd like to have people already logged in if they happen upon a link to a Convio page.

I need to call getSingleSignOnToken - should the username and password params be that of the user who is logging in? In short, does that mean that I have to have a user (constituent) in the Convio system for every single user on my external system? That's a lot of users :smileyhappy:.

I can create them en masse or on the fly - I'm just trying to understand if what I'm thinking is correct.

    I think I've answered my own question - I do need all of the users in my system created as constituents in Convio, but the username and password fields are for my API credentials (duh). Right?

    Correct. The user name and password are for the API administrator account. The API allows an administrator to get an authentication token on behalf of the user who is browsing your site.
