| Summary: | When most people enter their house, they only have to unlock one or two locks on the front door. Imagine, however, if you had to use a key and unlock the door to every room inside the house, every time you wanted to go into another room. Such is the case with many Information Technology (IT) systems these days, which require a multitude of user IDs and passwords for every system and application you want to access. Faced with growing user frustrations, many companies are turning to a single signon (SSO) security system. SSO lets users enter one user ID and password and then have access to an entire system or application. This IBM Redbooks publication is for system administrators who want to understand how to configure an SSO environment between their IBM Lotus Domino and IBM WebSphere applications on the IBM Eserver iSeries server. This environment requires using a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server, having a common user registry, and enabling security on both Domino and WebSphere applications. In this book, you learn how to configure and use either the Domino HTTP server or the IBM HTTP Server (powered by Apache) to serve both Domino and WebSphere content. For SSO, a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server is required for common user registry between Domino and WebSphere. This book shows you how to use either Domino as the LDAP server or OS/400 Directory Services. Finally this book shows you how to enable security on both your Domino application and WebSphere Application Server - Express instance to support an SSO environment. Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
