Single sign-on environment for application server security

When you enable application server security, you can use a single sign-on environment. This environment enables a user to provide one name and password to access multiple applications.

When users authenticate with the server in a single sign-on environment, the users are authenticated to access all of the applications to which they have been given rights on the server. This authentication eliminates the need to provide multiple passwords when users switch applications.

Configuration for a single sign-on system depends on your implementation. For more information about how to configure your single sign-on environment so that the system can participate, see the documentation for your single sign-on platform and your application server. Both the WebLogic Server and WebSphere® Application Server support a single sign-on environment.
