Configuring SSO using ESS between multiple servers

How to configure single sign-on (SSO) between multiple servers.

Before you begin

Before configuring single-sign on between a number of servers, they all need to point to a central user registry, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.

Procedure

To configure single sign-on between a number of servers:

  1. On the server running the Web GUI:
    1. Configure SSO.
    2. Restart the server.
    3. Export the Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) keys from WebSphere.
  2. On each of the other servers:
    1. Copy the file of exported keys from the Web GUI server.
    2. Configure SSO.
    3. Import the LTPA keys into both WebSphere Application Server and ESS. Then restart the server
