Re: Single Sign on

[Roger Ruttimann]

There is an SSO component in Jetspeed.
You can add remote credentials for a Jetspeed group or user to the 
credential store.
Look at the SSO portlets how to use the credentials store.

We use SSO to manage db credentials and web access. We attach remote 
credentials to groups (e.g Application1, Application2,..) and then 
assign users to that group. If a user logs into Jetspeed and tries to 
access a protected application/site it will use the remote credentials 
if the user is a member of the group.

Hi,
One approach would be for your portlet to use the portlet API's user
preferences to store the user's username and passwords for each of the
portlet applications. The user would authenticate to Jetspeed (or any
other portlet-API compatible portal), and then the portlets would log
the user in from the stored username and password in preferences.

We are using Jetspeed as a window into our different applications. Each
applkication requires a silent login which we have partially solved with
some drawbacks.
I am looking at providing a single sign on solution that can be shared
by each application, the user signs into Jetspeed and then each
application can authenticate against the single sign on solution.
Has anybody any experience of this or suggestions. I have found a
particularly interesting article here,
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-singlesign/
One requirement would be the ability to deploy the SSO solution ina any
portal !!
Would be interested in your views
