SSO with CM including Navigator, CM Webservices - order of making changes?
I am reading the various links for enabling SSO with CM including Navigator, CM Webservices and wondered if someone could outline the order of making changes and the impact of the changes? I don't really have a sandbox CM system to try it and see, so am trying to have a good 'plan' ahead of time.
In regard to the following - Is there a preferred method? Am I able to turn on SSO and then turn it off (for testing)? *Content Manager EE provides two types of single sign-on capabilities for Web and desktop environments: Single sign-on through WebSphere® Application Server security. Single sign-on through database authentication.
Enabling single sign-on through WebSphere Application Server security Single sign-on take advantage of the WebSphere Application Server security function that trusts one logon.
Enabling single sign-on through database authentication You can enable single sign-on through database authentication to allow users to log on to their desktop only once, so that they do not have to log on again when using Content Manager EE clients or the system administration client.
Activate single sign-on The single sign-on feature simplifies client authentication by taking advantage of the WebSphere Application Server security mechanisms. With this feature, the client application does not require a separate logon step for Content Manager EE because all authentication is managed by the WebSphere Application Server environment.*
Please have a look at our documentation for configuring SSO with CM.

Here's an example of the parms from my developer used when calling CM Webservices: private static AuthenticationData SetupAuthenticationData() { AuthenticationDataLoginData login = new AuthenticationDataLoginData(); login.UserID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImageUser"]; login.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImagePassword"]; AuthenticationData auth = new AuthenticationData(); auth.LoginData = login; ServerDef servdef = new ServerDef(); servdef.ServerName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ImageServer"]; auth.ServerDef = servdef; auth.connectToWorkflow = true; return auth; } How do calls work with SSO with CM Webservice calls?
Thanks for the links. I am still not really clear how the SSO will work with CM Webservice calls. We use webservices quite a bit but not seeing much doc on what changes in regard to the calls. Can you offer any insight on this component please?
