Configure Remember me for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition authentication

We can configure a Remember me cookie for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition authentication that works with step-up authentication. When this feature is enabled, users are logged in automatically when they access a protected portal area by presenting a valid Remember me cookie.

If the portal area has a higher step-up authentication, users are asked to provider their user ID and password credentials. Otherwise, the users can enter the protected area without providing their credentials.

1. Make sure the WebSphere_Portal server is running.

2. Log on to the WAS admin console as an administrator.

3. Click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers.

4. Click WP RememberMeConfigService to open the properties view.

5. Click Custom properties.

6. Click New.

7. Enter the following values for the new property:

   1. Name: j2eeAuthenticate

   2. Value: true

   3. Type: java.lang.Boolean

8. Click OK.

9. Click the Save link in the Messages box to save the changes to the master configuration.
