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.

[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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DISCLAIMER: This email (including any attachments) is intended for the sole use of the intended recipient/s and may contain material that is CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION.
