Authenticate users
The process of authenticating users involves a user registry and an authentication mechanism. Optionally, you can define trust between WAS and a proxy server, configure single sign-on capability, and specify how to propagate security attributes between application servers.
Procedure
- Select a registry or repository
- Trust associations
- Single sign-on
- Security attribute propagation
- Configure WebSEAL or a custom trust association interceptor.
- Implement single sign-on to minimize web user authentications.
- Propagate security attributes among application servers.
- Configure the authentication cache.
What to do next
After completing the configuring the authentication process, authorize access to resources. See Authorizing access to resources.
