WARNING! This adapter does not work if you are using certificate-based authentication to access the portal (browser certificates, smart cards, biometric devices) because there is no user password. If your portal supports certificate-based user authentication, developers should use the security proxy adapter instead of the user name/password adapter.
Use the single sign-on adapter when you have a back-end application that shares the same user name and password as Enterprise Security, but is running on a separate machine, and is not just another application running within the same Web container.For example, if your portal is configured to use the LDAP Authentication delegate instead of the Access Control Database (ACDB), and the LDAP delegate is pointed at your enterprise’s LDAP server, you could use your PC user name/password to log in to the portal. Then you could use the same user name/password adapter key to create an application that gets you into another enterprise application that is also using the enterprise’s LDAP server to authenticate users.
