Author How to avoid portal login for virtual portal urls ?

2006-02-10, 3:02 am

Hi, We have developed two portlets for two virtual portals. Its a small application. But we have application specific login apart from the portal login. After the user logs in into the virtual portal, the user has to give his SAP Id and pwd inorder to use
the application. So the user is actually logining in twice which the client wants to make it one. So we want to remove the portal login. Directly the SAP login screen can be displayed.

But am not sure how to do this ? first thing whether this possible or not ? If so how to do this ? We are not doing any thing to display the login portlet by default. So not sure how to avoid that.

Can some one help me on this.
Anil.

I do not think that you succeed in not logging in to the portal, but
only logging in to SAP. However, you can also try to do the following:
You can leave your portal login as is. This means the user has to log in
to portal. However, as far as I understood, your portlet connects to a
backend (SAP?) system, and therefore the users need to provide thier SAP
credentials to access the system. For this purpose, you can change your
portlet so that the portlet stores the user's backend credentials in the
CredentialVault, and the portlet uses these credentials to access the
backend system. This way, a user would only have to configure the SAP
portlet once to store his credentials. If the credentials are stored,
then the porlet can use these credentials to log in to the backend
server, and the user would not have to authenticate again. You should
have a look at the portal InfoCenter. There is a chapter about
CredentialVault. You should check if you can use CredentialVault in your
portlet to meet your expectations.
