- A Secure Portal Using WebSphere Portal V5 and Tivoli Access Manager V4.1, SG24-6077-00
Portals provide a personalized single point of access to applications, content, people and processes through a Web interface. They also provide underlying services for these applications, such as security, search, collaboration and workflow.
A Secure Portal Extended With Single Sign-On, REDP-3743-00 Many portals are required to access external applications that need some form of user authentication. In most cases, the user credentials required by these applications will differ from those used by WebSphere Portal. While it is possible for the portlet to prompt the user for this credential information and then present it to the external application, such an approach is seldom implemented due to the unsatisfactory user experience. Therefore, a single sign-on (SSO) is required to provide seamless access to the different applications in a portal solution.
Develop and Deploy a Secure Portal Solution, Using WebSphere Portal V5.0.2 and Tivoli Access Manager V5.1, SG24-6325-00 Portals provide a personalized single point of access to applications, content, and processes through a Web interface. Secure portal solutions are needed to address the common security challenges, such as authentication, authorization and single sign-on.
