GateIn Portal provides some forms of Single Sign On (SSO) as an integration and aggregation platform.
When logging into the portal, users gain access to many systems through portlets using a single identity. In many cases, however, the portal infrastructure must be integrated with other SSO enabled systems. There are many different Identity Management solutions available. In most cases, each SSO framework provides a unique way to plug into a Java EE application.
In this tutorial, the SSO server (like CAS, OpenAM or JOSSO) is usually installed in a Tomcat installation. Tomcat can be obtained from http://tomcat.apache.org. GateIn Portal is usually running on JBoss AS 7. All the details about particular SSO solutions are available in individual subpages.
All the packages required for setup can be found in a latest zip file located under this directory. At this moment, latest version is here. In this document, GATEIN_SSO_HOME is called as the directory where the ZIP file is extracted.
Users are advised to not run any portal extensions that could override the data when manipulating the gatein.ear file directly.
