Configure Remember me for J2EE authentication on Windows

WebSphere Portal allows you to configure Remember me for J2EE authentication, which works in conjunction with step-up authentication. When this feature is enabled, a user will be logged in automatically when accessing a protected portal area by presenting a valid Remember me cookie. Unless the requested resource has a higher step-up authentication requirement, the user will not be asked to provide any other proof of identity (for example, user name and password) to enter the protected portal area.

To enable J2EE authentication using a Remember me cookie:

1. Make sure the WebSphere_Portal server is running.

2. Log on to the WAS administrative 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.
