Solaris: Enabling step-up authentication, the Remember me cookie, or both
Step-up authentication provides different authentication levels for pages and portlets. The Remember me cookie is an encrypted HTTP cookie that supports authentication and lets you present personalized portlets and pages in a public area without the need for users to manually authenticate. Step-up authentication and the Remember me cookie let remembered users view anonymous pages and portlets with a standard or identified authentication level. By providing a valid Remember me cookie, a user can also access protected pages and portlets that require the identified authentication level. If the authentication level is set to authenticated, the user must provide a user ID and password to view the page or portlet.
