Configuring IBM® Connections for SSO

Configure IBM® Connections for single sign-on.

Before you begin

To configure IBM® Connections for SSO, see the topic Configuring single sign-on in this documentation. For example, if the IBM® Content Manager server is using a standalone LDAP, follow steps in Enabling single sign-on for standalone LDAP before performing the steps in this topic.

To complete the SSO configuration between IBM® Connections and IBM® FileNet® Collaboration Services, you must synchronize the LTPA tokens between the two servers.

Procedure

To synchronize the LTPA tokens between the IBM® Connections and IBM® Content Manager servers, perform the following steps:
  1. On the IBM® Connections server, open the WebSphere® Application Server Integrated Console.
  2. Navigate to Security > Global security >LTPA.
  3. Type and confirm a password and make a note of it.
  4. Type the full path to a file on the application server where you want to store the keys, such as /home/wasadmin/ltpa.keys.
  5. Click Export keys. WebSphere® exports the LTPA keys into the location you specified.
  6. Click Apply and save the changes.
  7. Copy the LTPA key file you just generated to the IBM® FileNet® Collaboration Services server and note the location.
  8. Open the WebSphere® Application Server Integrated Console on the IBM® FileNet® Collaboration Services, and follow Step 2.
  9. Navigate to the Single sign-on section and enter the password you entered in Step 3.
  10. Type the full path to the LTPA key file from Step 7 on the IBM® FileNet® Collaboration Services server.
  11. Click Import Keys and Save.
  12. Restart the IBM® Connections and IBM® FileNet® Collaboration Services WebSphere® Application Servers for the changes to take effect.
