Before you install the IBM® Connections
Portlets for IBM WebSphere® Portal, enable single sign-on (SSO) between
IBM Connections and WebSphere Portal.
About this task
This task describes the steps that are required to enable SSO between IBM Connections portlets and WebSphere Portal when they are on different WebSphere Application
Server cells. Applications that are deployed on servers
within the same WebSphere Application
Server cell are enabled by default for
SSO.
Set the realm name in the LTPA token to that of the LDAP server before you export the LTPA token.
For example, if you connect to an LDAP server at ldapserver.example.com over
port 389, then you must set the realm name to ldapserver.example.com:389. If
you must change the realm name, see the topic Changing the realm name.
