WebSEAL junctions overview
A WebSEAL junction is an HTTP or HTTPS connection between a front-end WebSEAL server and a back-end Web application server. Junctions logically combine the Web space of the back-end server with the Web space of the WebSEAL server, resulting in a unified view of the entire Web object space. A junction allows WebSEAL to provide protective services on behalf of the back-end server. WebSEAL performs authentication and authorization checks on all requests for resources before passing those requests across a junction to the back-end server. Junctions also allow a variety of single signon solutions between a client and the junctioned back-end applications. We can create WebSEAL junctions with either pdadmin or the LMI.
