Integration with Filenet

Question

We have an usecase to integrate with Filenet and the question of seamless integration via SSO is ruled out for now. That being the case, how can we capture the username and password in Appian during an user login, and then use it to authenticate with Filenet downstream. Has this been done before? - what is the best approach here? Appian Tech team, others who have faced and solved this - please chime in....

Appian does not expose user login credentials within the process. As a matter of fact, no system should allow the logged-in credentials to be exposed. You may want to consider building a plug-in that gets the user authentication token from the AD and passes the token to Filenet rather than dealing with users's password.
