Retrieving the WebSphere LTPA key

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

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