I'm presenting a couple of internal (.NET/ASP & oracle) systems
through a web=page/iFrame portlet.
They all have a front-page login in screen and I would like to use the
credential vault to achieve the single sign-on.

Is there a version of the WebPage portlet that will use a pre-defined
credential vault slot ? or am I going to have to code my own ?

thanks,
John

The web page portlet from the online portlet catalog contains this feature.

OK - so now I found that the latest version of the WebPage portlet has
an authentication section in its configure mode.
I have setup a new credentiall vault slot and tried to 'refer' to it
in the portal config but just can't get it to work.
All the documented examples refer to programmatic solutions, I'm just
looking for a little direction on a basic vault & web page portlet
setup.
Can anyone give me a few clues how to set this up ?

thanks,
John

Hi,

We are also looking for the same kind of soltuion. Which will authenticate t
he ASP.NET application. Is it possible to achieve SSO using credential Vault
.

I tested with latest WebPage portlet, the major drawback of the protlets dev
eloped using this portelt is that user will losse his state once he levaes t
he page. Where as retaining the state of the user is the major goal of any p
ortal based application.

Sure, that's because you're iframing another web page.  The iframed page
and the portal know nothing about one another from a session point of
view.  You're doing nothing more than giving the user a link to another
site, except that link is displayed in a frame instead of in a
standalone window.

Hi,
You can use an iframe to simulate login process to outer system, i.
e., write a login iframe that generate a form submit to your system.
