Enable single sign-on for Lotus Quickr


Overview

Before installing the Lotus Connections Connector for Lotus Quickr, enable single sign-on (SSO) between Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr.

This is an optional task.

If you are enabling SSO between Lotus Connections and a product that is deployed on a pre-6.1 version of WAS, or if the product is using IBM Lotus Domino, first complete the steps described in the Enabling SSO with stand-alone LDAP topic.

This task describes the steps required to enable SSO between Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr when they are on different Websphere Application Server cells. (Applications deployed on servers within the same WAS cell are enabled by default for SSO.)

You should set the realm name in the LTPA token to that of the LDAP server before you export the LTPA token. For example, if you connect to an LDAP server at ldapserver.example.com over port 389, then set the realm name to ldapserver.example.com:389.
