Hi all,

I'm sure I'm not the only one encountering this problem, so I'm wondering how you guys handle it. When trying to develop an SSO-based site, I use a local cygwin implementation of the site then upload everything when I'm done. Problem is - the SSO callback cannot call back to my machine as I'm behind my router's and windows' firewall. And opening both for outside http requests sounds unwise. How do you guys solve this issue?

Why wouldn't that work? CCP's servers don't need to be able to access your callback URL, it just sends a Location redirect.
Just create a new client with the local URL as the callback and use that for testing.

The SSO redirect just tells your browser where to go. This means you often have a client for dev and an client for prod. Dev often redirects to localhost:5000 (or whatever port you use) and prod redirects to your hosted environment.
