Configure SSO between IBM FileNet and Connections

Overview

Single sign-on between IBM FileNet Collaboration Services and Connections is mandatory for use of the Library widget. SSO between IBM FileNet Collaboration Services and Connections is not mandatory for use of the Linked Library widget, but is supported and always preferable for a better user experience.

To configure SSO between WebSphere Application Server using a LTPA mechanism, we...

• Generate and export an LTPA key from one server
• Import the token to the other

In the following instructions, LTPA keys are generated and exported from the Connections server and imported into the IBM FileNet Collaboration Services server, but it doesn't matter which server exports and which imports.
