Sean,

Hi my name is Ali Maredia from the MSA (Student Government) Academic Affairs Commission. Allison Konkel, the Commisions chair, told me that you have been a helpful contact for ctools/ubook. One of the initiatives the commission has this semester is to make uBook more accessible to students and I was wondering what kind help you could give us with that. Also an idea we had to make ubook more accessible to students was to embed it within the MSA website using an iframe. Is that something we're allowed to do and if so can you help us out with that.

I'm not sure if cosign would bust the iframe or not. If they were already logged in with cosign then you'd be good to go. You can probably work with the cosign team to getting your server secured if it's a university machine. Also make sure to use https in the server name or it does generic redirect.

Creating a link to within the MSA website could be accomplished using <servername>/portal/directtool/sakai.tbook?sakai.site=~ (though an iFrame would not be recommended, since this will likely redirect to cosign).

A mobile webservice would require some sort of authentication to identify the user.
