Use this list to check whether you provided and obtained all required information that we must exchange with the Consumer.

Information that a Producer provides to a Consumer

Mandatory information:

Whether this information is required depends on the security setup of the Producer portal:

User information about users of the Consumer portal who uses the remote portlets.
