SSO is used to insert credentials for external applications into a request. If a user isn't authenticated (logged in) it doesn't have access to the SSO API.
For your scenario you have to migrate your user table into Jetspeed-2 security tables. You could write a user synchronization portlet that reads your database and inserts new (no existing users) into jetspeed by calling into the security API. I think such a portlet would be of great benefit for the community since user migration is always an issue.

Hi Roger and Amit,
Appreciate your helps ...
I have a pretty dumb question along the same lines. I only have one web application that I want to port to Jetspeed2. So I dont think SSO would make sense in such scenerio.
However, what do I need to do to authenticate?? ... I have my own user table with passwords that I am validating against. So do I need to translate that user table to the jetspeed security_xxx tables, or .... ???
Would really appreciate any help ...
Thanks, Amit

With J2-SSO you can map Jetspeed users to application credentials.
If you have login pages but you like to bypass the login by providing the credentials you can use the SSOWebContent portlet or subclass the portlet and define in our implementation how the credentials should be passed to your login page.
The SSO Management portlet allows you to create sites (URL) to your login pages and assign remote credential for a J2 user or group. I found it handy to define a group, add users to it and then define remote credential for that group. Any user belonging to that group will obtain the remote credential from the SSO store.
I added some SSO documentation that can be found in design-docs/src/sso
