WebSphere Portal authentication in a developer installation
The development installation does not use WAS or a third-party authentication proxy to verify proof of identity. The development installation does not activate WAS Global Security, nor does it protect the /wps/myportal entry point in WAS. This model relies on WebSphere Portal to authenticate using the WebSphere Portal database. WebSphere Portal saves user identification and preferences to its database tables and verifies identity in this database during login. This configuration assumes a one-machine setup in a development or demonstration environment only.
