Technical resources to configure and use WebSphere Portal security features
To accommodate a wide variety of security requirements, WebSphere Portal integrates with other security infrastructure components to provide authentication, authorization, and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. This page provides resources for portlet developers, portal administrators, IT Security professionals, and portal developers who need to configure, administer, or use WebSphere Portal security features.
Portal security architects describe the WebSphere Portal architecture and use deployment scenarios to illustrate the flexibility and breadth of options you can use to implement your own portal security infrastructure.
Get essential performance background information so you can improve your portal's performance, including login, read-only operation, and administration performance. Learn how to prevent future portal access control performance issues by making the best use of PAC.
This IBM Redbook discusses portal security architecture, topology selection, design, and integration considerations, and provides and describes a complete working example.
Shows how to integrate a scanning tool --the Nessus vulnerability scanner, in this case-- with your portal so that your users can scan their own computers, on demand.
Tells how to use a portlet service to encapsulate the interaction between portlets and a remote Web application--for example, a WebSphere Application Server application that uses an LDAP directory and LTPA for security. Sample code and configuration examples are included to demonstrate connecting to either a session EJB or to a servlet.
