IBM WebSphere Portal supports the use of IBM Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) for e-business, leveraging the following commonly used TAM services to...
Use Tivoli Access Manager with WebSphere Portal
- WebSEAL Single Signon for authentication
- Protected Object Space and Access Control List Management for authorization
- Global Sign-on lockbox credential vault integration
- Automatic user provisioning from WebSphere Portal self-registration to TAM
If you use TAM for authorization, also use it for authentication. Using TAM to perform only authorization is not supported.
To configure TAM with Portal, see...
- Configure TAM for authentication, authorization, and the Credential Vault
- Configure TAM to perform authentication only
- Configure TAM to perform authorization
- Configure the Credential Vault adapter for TAM
Cluster Considerations
Configure an external security manager after completing all other setup tasks, including ensuring that the WebSphere Portal cluster is functional.
When you are setting up security to use an external security manager in a WebSphere Portal cluster environment and across mixed nodes, there are additional considerations.
