Enable single sign-on for Lotus Quickr 

Before installing the IBM Connections Connector for IBM Lotus Quickr , enable single sign-on (SSO) between IBM Connections and Lotus Quickr.

Before starting

Notes:

• This is an optional task.

• This task applies to Quickr J. For information about enabling single sign-on (SSO) for Quickr D, see the Enable single sign-on for Domino topic.

• If you are enabling SSO between Lotus Connections and a product that is deployed on a pre-6.1 version of WAS, first complete the steps described in the Enable single sign-on for stand-alone LDAP topic.

About this task

This task describes the steps required to enable SSO between IBM Connections and Lotus Quickr when they are on different websphere Application Server cells. Applications deployed on servers within the same WAS cell are enabled by default for SSO.

You should set the realm name in the LTPA token to that of the LDAP server before you export the LTPA token. For example, if you connect to an LDAP server at ldapserver.example.com over port 389, then set the realm name to ldapserver.example.com:389.
