1. How do we create a Realm
You dont. The realm is configured on your target authentication server,
such as the realm used in basic authentication. Just enter a realm here
or leave it blank.
2. Is SSO management related to User and Group management? If yes
what information from the User and Group Management is used in SSO
management
Credentials can be stored per user or per group
With SSO-enabled portlets, the portlet will automatically try to login
First it will look for a credential for the current user. If not found,
it attempt to find a credential based on the user's groups
You can also make use of the SSO service directly in your portlets
3. In SSO management tab there is a text box for URL. What should be
entered there?
The URL of an authentication server, really depends on what kind of
authentication server you are trying to access. Typically this would be
a URL on the web or in your network somewhere, such as a web server.
The SSO-enabled portlets that come with the Jetspeed demo war are setup
for HTTP protocol. You could write your own portlets that use another
protocol, but still use the SSO service
4. If possible can any one kindly take a few minutes of your busy
schedules to give a small (1 page) document which briefly discusses how
to configure SSO in JetSpeed 2?
First, have a look at the document in subversion
"design-docs/src/sso/j2-sso-overview.pdf"
Here is an example using the SSOWebContentPortlet:
[0] verify that the portlet.xml is set up with the SRC you want to use
in the SSOWebContentPortlet and that the sso.type is basic.preemptive
[1] login as the administrator of the portal (admin).
[2] navigate to the Jetspeed Administrative Portlets
[3] if you don't already have a Group that all your users belong to,
navigate to the Group Management tab and create one; add all users to
the group that need to share the credentials
[4] go to the SSO Management tab
[5] specify a site name (just a label) and the top-level URL (same as
the SRC attribute from portlet.xml) that requires the credentials and
click Save
[6] select the site name from the list of SSO sites and you will get the
SSO Details portlet
[7] to the right of Portal Principal, there are two icons; the second
one lets you choose a group
[8] enter the username and password (Remote Principal / Remote
Credential) that the group will use and click Save
[9] logout (as admin) and log back in as one of your users.
SSOWebContent portlet should be able to navigate to the specified SRC
URL without you having to enter the credentials
