Before you install the IBM
Connections Portlets for IBM WebSphere Portal®®,
enable single sign-on (SSO) between IBM Connections
and WebSphere Portal.
About this task
This task describes the steps that are required to enable
SSO between IBM Connections
and WebSphere Portal when
they are on different WebSphere Application
Server cells. Applications that are deployed on servers within the
same WebSphere Application
Server cell are enabled by default for SSO.
Set the realm name
in the LTPA token to that of the LDAP server before you export the
LTPA token. For example, if you connect to an LDAP server at ldapserver.example.com over
port 389, then you must set the realm name to ldapserver.example.com:389.
If you must change the realm name, see the topic Changing the
realm name.
