1. Re: Help with portlet authentication
bvogt Feb 27, 2008 3:34 PM (in response to dcollodel)That's quite interesting to me what you are expected to do, because I had to manage a documentum migration onto a solaris cluster in the past (I guess in 2001).
Your login within the documentum portlet provides a session on the documentum side, what you need to have is a session on the portal side too.
In order to setup a portal session it needs access to the users and roles - ideally they are the same as used by documentum (ldap?). If that's not possible may be the synchronizing modules as mentioned in chapter 18 may help you?

2. Re: Help with portlet authentication
dcollodel Feb 27, 2008 3:58 PM (in response to dcollodel)On the Documentum side, the portlet is configured as "trusted". A Documentum superuser makes the initial connection, and compares the Jboss-supplied user principal with the users in Documentum. Assuming the principal authenticates with Jboss, and matches a Documentum user, the Documentum module creates a session for that user.
The trouble is that I don't know how to set up the authentication to pass the logged-in principal to Documentum.
I'll peruse that link though. Thanks.
