Enable Single Signon for WebSphere Portal Using the Application Server

The Portal Services portlets can use the Active Credentials objects provided by WebSphere® Portal to connect to IBM® Cognos® components. Portal Services supports the following Active Credentials objects: LtpaToken, SiteMinderToken, and WebSealToken.

Credentials for the portal user are passed to the gateway using this object. For more information about Active Credential objects, see the documentation for IBM WebSphere Portal.

To use application server single signon, see the documentation for IBM WebSphere Application Server.

For information about SSL for IBM Cognos components on a WebSphere Application Server, see the topic about enabling SSL in the application server chapter of the Installation and Configuration Guide.
