jasonrichardsmith@gmail.com's sandbox: IMIS IBC Authentication

This module works with IBC SSO using SOAP. You will need to purchase the IMIS module from IBC for this to work. The developer of this module is in no way affiliated with IBC outside of being a customer.

This module works differently than the IMIS Authentication module

This module loads the following information from the SSO.
IMIS ID
Member Type
First Name
Last Name
Prefix
Suffix
Full Name
Company Name
Workphone

The IMIS admin can also attach "Extension Data" which can be any sort of user information query. This information is loaded into a long text field since we never know what it will return.

The SSO also returns information to create a cookie. If users are in the same domain they can access the IMIS web interface using this cookie. Then the cookie is destroyed on logout.

From original Auth module.
Exempt Users

Certain Drupal users can be exempted from iMIS Authentication (e.g. Drupal site admins). This permits their login, password and other behaviours to be handled normally by Drupal. These exempt users can be assigned to additional roles (e.g. content editors) as needed by administrators.

Why a seperate module
The IMIS Auth module uses a different web interface (REST) and is maintained by the people people that sell the IMIS module. I don't see them as having any interest in maintaining or integrating this service because it is a competing project.
