You can enable single sign-on (SSO) support capabilities
that enable users to bypass the My Profile user
credential mapping dialog in the enterprise search application or
content analytics miner.
About this task
This procedure is required to extend SSO support to any sources
that you deploy in a
WebSphere® Application
Server environment.
This includes sources that are deployed through
WebSphere Portal, such as sources that are
crawled by the
Seed list crawler.
To support SSO authentication when users access
Watson Content Analytics applications, you must
first confirm that SSO is correctly configured in
WebSphere Application
Server.
What to do next
There are two configuration settings for
configuring crawlers to support SSO authentication:
- When you configure the identity management component on the Security page,
select the check box for each crawler type in the collection that
you want to enable to support SSO.
- When you configure security settings for an individual crawler,
enable SSO.
When both of these settings are configured to support SSO authentication,
secure SSO search is in effect. The application stops requiring users
to enter credentials in the
My Profile dialog.
