Hi,


I am assigned a task to work on Portal based upon Portlet 2.0 that will be
deployed on Tomcat using Jetspeed 2.2.1. However in future this must be
deployable on other portlet servers like IBM WebSphere. In first step I have
to work out the possible security model for the application. Major
requirements for security:

-          Based on some standard

-          Easily portable to Websphere or other server

-          Two step security model in which authentication is done on
cooperate network (LDAP or domain controller for example) than
authorizations will be controlled by portlet server



So security must not dependent or tightly coupled with Jetspeed specific
features. My initial understanding user must exists in portlet server
(Jetspeed on this case) to control the authorization stuff(who can access
and what can do). What could be best way these server independent so that
these can be ported easily to other servers. Or for each server we have to
re-create user/groups/roles using sort of admin interface that server
provides.



Thanks for time.
