Solaris: Enable step-up authentication, the Remember me cookie, or both
Step-up authentication provides different authentication levels for pages and portlets. The Remember me cookie is an encrypted HTTP cookie that supports authentication and lets you present personalized portlets and pages in a public area without the need for users to manually authenticate. Step-up authentication and the Remember me cookie let remembered users view anonymous pages and portlets with a standard or identified authentication level. By providing a valid Remember me cookie, a user can also access protected pages and portlets that require the identified authentication level. If the authentication level is set to authenticated, the user must provide a user ID and password to view the page or portlet.Complete the following tasks to enable step-up authentication and/or the Remember me cookie:
- Enable step-up authentication, the Remember me cookie, or both on Solaris
We can choose to enable either step-up authentication or the Remember me cookie individually or we can choose to use these features together.- Configure Remember me for J2EE authentication on Solaris
WebSphere Portal allows us to configure Remember me for J2EE authentication, which works in conjunction with step-up authentication. When this feature is enabled, a user is 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 is not asked to provide any other proof of identity (for example, user name and password) to enter the protected portal area.- Disable step-up authentication, the Remember me cookie, or both on Solaris
We can disable the step-up authentication task and/or the Remember me cookie task to remove the features from the system.
