Deploy portlets in a secure environment

WebSphere Portal provides two user authentication modes that the Portlet Deployment Manager can use to authenticate with the IBM WAS administrative services when security is enabled.

The authentication modes are specified by the use.admin.user property in Deployment Service. The following two methods are supported in both a standalone or clustered environment.
Single ID method (use.admin.user=true)


Multiple ID method (use.admin.user=false)

The main difference between the two methods is that the single ID method uses a preset ID regardless of who you log in as while the multiple ID method uses the ID you logged in with but you cannot deploy a portlet unless ID is added to the WAS Console Group with Administrator rights.
