About this tutorial

Should I take this tutorial?

This tutorial is recommended for system administrators who wish to configure single sign-on (SSO) in a collaborative environment that includes several IBM software products. It is recommended that you have some experience with the following:

Lotus Domino administration (both 5.x and 6.x versions)
Lotus Domino Web Access (iNotes) administration
Lotus Instant Messaging and Web Conferencing (Sametime) administration
Lotus Team Workplace (QuickPlace) administration
WebSphere Portal (version 5) administration

What is this tutorial about?

Configuring single sign-on across a number of existing systems can be a challenging task. This tutorial discusses the configuration of SSO in a Lotus collaborative environment containing servers running several IBM software products.

The tutorial is divided into two parts. Part one demonstrates the configuration of SSO in a Domino-only environment. Part two demonstrates the configuration of SSO in a collaborative environment containing WebSphere Portal and several Lotus software products. Both parts demonstrate the configuration of SSO using Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) tokens.

Because of the scope of this software environment, no attention is given to installation or basic configuration of these products. The tutorial demonstrates SSO configuration with the assumption that each product mentioned has been correctly installed and configured. More detailed requirements on the software used to develop this tutorial are provided at the beginning of each section.

The topics covered in this tutorial include:

An overview of SSO methods
Creating a Web SSO Configuration document (and the accompanying LTPA key) in Domino
Enabling multi-server session authentication in the Server document
Confirming FQDN settings in Domino
Verifying your Domino LTPA configuration
Exporting a WebSphere LTPA key
Importing a WebSphere LTPA key into Domino
Verifying your Domino/WebSphere Portal LTPA configuration
