TAMeb and portals: Single sign-on concepts and considerations
The prevalence of portal products introduces interesting challenges to IT architects
requiring a single sign-on (SSO) solution that incorporates their enterprise portal and the enterprise
applications. One such challenge is determining the method of sign-on to both the portal and the
portal-managed content where access to enterprise applications is via an authenticating reverse proxy,
such as Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL. This article outlines the architecture and concepts involved in
performing single sign-on from the browser, through the portal to the enterprise applications

Effective policy design for large deployments of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating System
Effective policy design is critical for large deployments of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating Systems. A large deployment can involve hundreds or thousands of UNIX and Linux systems, each with many resources to secure. This can result in a large and complex set of policy definitions in the IBM Tivoli Access Manager policy database, which has implications on network load, maintenance overhead, and the IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Operating Systems performance. This document looks at the issues and identifies approaches to improve the policy.

Intranet Single Sign-On for Windows and Tivoli Access Manager
Microsoft Windows based intranets provide the ability to use desktop credentials to sign-on to intranet infrastructure based on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). This is implemented using Microsoft’s SPNEGO HTTP authentication protocol to sign-on using NTLM or Kerberos credentials. Until IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business (TAM) 4.1 was released there was no way to achieve the same sign-on to TAM’s WebSEAL web resource authorization engine. With TAM 4.1 this sign-on can be achieved by combining the SPNEGO sign-on capability of TAM Plugin for IIS with e-Community single sign-on capabilities of WebSEAL. This article describes in detail the configuration steps required to make this work.
