Retrieve the WebSphere LTPA key for use with Lotus Quickr

You retrieve the WebSphere LTPA key from the IBM WebSphere Portal server so that we can use the key on the IBM Lotus Quickr server for which we are configuring single sign-on.

If you have already retrieved the WebSphere LTPA key for another application (for example, IBM Tivoli Access Manager, or Sametime ) we can skip this procedure.

1. On the WAS, start the WAS admin console and log in.

2. Select Security > Global security.

3. Under Web and SIP security, select Single sign-on (SSO).

4. Enter the fully qualified domain name and then click OK.

5. Click Save to save the changes to the master configuration.

6. Under Authentication mechanisms and expiration, click LTPA.

7. Type the password in the Password and Confirm password fields.

8. Type the name of the file in the Fully qualified key file name field.

   The key is created automatically in the wp_profile directory. To have the key stored in a particular location, include the path with the file name.

9. Click Export Keys. The key is exported to the wp_profile directory.

10. Copy the key file that was created during the export process to a location accessible to the Lotus Quickr server.

11. To disable automatic LTPA key generation, complete these steps:

    1. Select Key set groups.

    2. Select NodeLTPAKeySetGroup.

    3. Clear the Key generation - Automatically generate keys option.

    4. Click OK.

    5. Click Save to save the changes to the master configuration.

12. Log out from the WAS admin console.
