Using your portal as a WSRP Consumer

These topics describe all the tasks that you perform when you use your portal to consume WSRP services as a WSRP Consumer portal.

1. Information that the Consumer exchanges with the Producer
   Before a Consumer can consume WSRP services from a Producer as remote portlets, you need some information from the Producer. Depending on your configuration, you might also need to provide information to the Producer.
2. Preparing security for a WSRP Consumer portal
   To consume WSRP services as remote portlets from a Producer portal, you need to configure the same security for WSRP as the Producer portal.
3. Working with Producer definitions
   To make that Web service Producer known to your portal, you create a Producer definition for a WSRP Producer in your Consumer portal. You can also configure a Producer definition.
4. Consuming WSRP services in a Consumer portal
   After you have created a Producer definition, you can proceed to consuming the WSRP services that are provided by that Producer, that is, integrating them into your Consumer portal as remote portlets.
5. Customizing the WSRP configuration of your Consumer portal
   You can customize some aspects of you WSRP Consumer portal.
