Single Signon using Trusted Authentication - version 3.0

Question

There was good documentation on this in version 2 but looks like 3.0 it was just copied and not much added.
I am using the ISAPI redirector and have figured out the single signon but it logs in to the little window that use to contain the login when no sso is enabled.
So, what piece am I missing?  Do I need a newer ISAPI redirctor?

We are trying to enable single sign-on through perimeter authentication.We are
trying to
accomplish the same using DefaultAuthenticator andDefaultIdentityAsserter. We
have the
following questions
1. Weblogic documentation says that the following authentication types aresupported
username/password, certificate and perimeter. Where do I set the perimeterauthentication
>
type Ex: In web.xml, I can specify basic, Form or Client-Cert as the authmethod.
How do I
specify that the authentication method is perimeter based.
You use client-cert. This causes the servlet container to look for identity
assertion tokens
in request headers and cookies. There is a CR to separate this from the
authentication
method.
2. How do I create a token for the DefaultIdentityAssertor.
Upon investigation in the AssertIdentity method of theDefaultIdentityAssertor,
the code
snippet from DefaultIdentityAssserterProvideImpl.java is the following
You define your token format and implementation and then write a
corresponding
identity asserter. It handles the tokens, not the default identity asserter.

The authenticated user token type really should have been internal and not
exposed as
a token type. Don't use it - define your own token type.
See the dev2dev security provider samples for an example of how to do this.
