Updated 20 Feb 2006 This article provides portal administrators with a conceptual overview of WebSphere Portal's security architecture so you can decide the best security configuration for your specific portal environment. You see multiple deployment scenarios for WebSphere Portal. You learn options for handling authentication, access control, single sign-on (SSO), portlet security, and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) security. Finally, you see how to secure connections between clients and the portal as well as connections between the portal and back-end systems.
