Integrating IBM Connections tags

You can integrate tags from IBM® Connections into the IBM WebSphere® Portal tag cloud. The Connections portlets are required to get full function.

  • Configure authentication
    Portal requests data from the IBM Connections server through the Connections search API. By default, access to public data is not secured. In case security is enabled for that application, authentication is required. You can use on of the following authentication methods: basic authentication and LTPA forwarding.
  • Configuring task to retrieve tags
    When you integrate Connections with your portal server, the portal uses a task to retrieve tags and related resources from the various Connections features (such as activities, blogs, bookmarks, communities, files, forums, profiles, and wikis). Then, the portal integrates the tags in the portal tag cloud. You can schedule the task to retrieve the tags to run periodically.

Results

Connections tags are available in theWebSphere Portal tag cloud after the scheduled task runs to retrieve tags from the Connections server.
