Accessing an Enterprise Content Management server using single sign on (SSO)

If the same people use IBM® Business Process Manager and Enterprise Content Management, you might be able to use single sign on to allow them to access both systems with a single log on ID.

• Where you set up the Enterprise Content Management server configuration, there is a check box labelled Always use connection information specified here, which is selected by default. If you want to use single sign on, you must clear this check box. When that check box is not selected, the IBM BPM system uses individual user IDs for authentication and projects the identity to the Enterprise Content Management server. For more information about authentication between IBM BPM and the Enterprise Content Management server, see Authentication scenarios.
• When a Content Integration step-type is called from a Human Service or Coach, the outbound JAX-WS call is done using the current user, rather than the user specified in the configuration settings for the Enterprise Content Management server. For technical details of how calls are routed when you are using SSO or the WS-Security UsernameToken authentication mechanism, see [topic to come].
