This section describes how to create single sign-on (SSO) portlets with Web applications running within the same Web container as Portal Interface.
All secured Web applications running inside Portal Interface as portlets are not forced to re-authenticate if the user has already been authenticated to the portal. Not forcing re-authentication requires that the secured Web application must run in the same container as Portal Interface and the user must have the required roles to access the secured Web application.
To create a single-sign on portlet:
Create a secured Web application with security constraints specified in the deployment descriptor file—web.xml.
Deploy the secured Web application to the container running Portal Interface.
Create a single-sign on JSP portlet in Portal Studio and deploy it in Portal Interface.
