Set single sign-on capability with Tivoli Access Manager or WebSEAL
Either Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL or TAM plug-in for Web servers can be used as reverse proxy servers to provide access management and SSO capability to WAS resources.
WebSEAL or the plug-in authenticates users and forwards the collected credentials to WAS in the form of an IV Header. Two types of single sign-on are available...
- TAI interface
- TAI++ interface
With TAI, the end-user name is extracted from the HTTP header and forwarded to embedded TAM where the end-user name is used to construct the client credential information and authorize the user.
With TAI++, all of the user credential information is available in the HTTP header and not just the user name. The TAI++ is the more efficient of the two solutions because an LDAP call is not required. TAI functionality is retained for backwards compatibility.
Complete the following tasks to enable single sign-on to WAS using either WebSEAL or the plug-in for Web servers.
- Configured embedded TAM on appserver
- Create a trusted user account for TAM in the shared LDAP user registry.
- Set either WebSEAL or the TAM plug-in for Web servers to work with WAS...
- Set single sign-on using either the TAI or TAI++ interface.
