You can configure the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server to
use an LDAP user registry to authenticate users.
This is required if you intend to provide single sign-on
(SSO) capability for these scenarios:
- The Tivoli Enterprise Portal is
launched from other web-based applications and you don't want users
to re-enter their credentials.
- The Tivoli Enterprise Portal is
used to launch other web-based or web-enabled applications and you
don't want users to re-enter their credentials.
- IBM® Dashboard
Application Services Hub is used to
display monitoring data retrieved using the dashboard data provider component
of the portal server. Best practice is to use single sign-on in this
case, so that dashboard users can launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal and
user don't have to re-enter their credentials. Additionally, single
sign-on must be used if you want to control authorization to monitored
resources on a per user basis.
- The IBM Tivoli Monitoring charting
web service is being used by another application such as Tivoli Integrated Portal.
