Enable step-up authentication and the Remember me cookie

Step-up authentication provides different authentication levels for pages and portlets.

The Remember me cookie is an encrypted HTTP cookie that supports authentication. We can present personalized portlets and pages in a public area without the need for users to manually authenticate. Remembered users can view anonymous pages and portlets with a standard or an identified authentication level. A user can also access protected pages and portlets requiring 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.

We can enable step-up authentication only. We can enable the Remember me cookie only. Or we can enable both with one task.

Authenticated and remembered users must have cookies enabled on their browser. Users can access portal sites without cookies enabled if they are anonymous users. If we turn on session tracking for anonymous users, then anonymous users also require cookies.
