5.1 High-level configuration steps

The following are the high-level steps that are used to implement the runtime environment for a secure portal. The remaining sections of this chapter provide the detailed implementation information for each of these steps.

The following are prerequisite tasks that need to be performed before the configuring steps:

  1. Install the WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms V5.0 Enable Edition.

  2. Install the LDAP server

We will configure the components in the order shown below:

  1. Configuring WebSphere with LDAP

    The following steps are part of configuring Portal with LDAP:

    1. Creating LDAP directory objects

    2. Modify LDAP Access Control

    3. Setting up LDAP over SSL

    2. Configuring WebSphere Application Server for SSL

    3. Configuring SSL between the plug-in and the Web container in WebSphere Application Server

    4. Modifying WebSphere Web Container to use mutually authenticated SSL

  3. Configuring TAM to perform authentication for WebSphere Portal Server

    This consists of the following steps:

    1. Configuring the WebSEAL Key Ring Database

    2. Creating the WebSEAL junction

    3. Importing WebSphere Portal users and groups

    4. Enabling Trust Association Interceptor (TAI)

    5. Verifying the Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) operation

    6. Changing Portal Logout and login pages

    7. Configuring Mutual SSL between WebSEAL and IBM HTTP Server

  4. Configuring TAM to perform authorization for WebSphere Portal Server

    This consists of the following steps:
