FileNet P8 includes the IBM® FileNet® P8 Portlets product, a portal integration framework that provides commonly-required content and process functionality within third-party portal products. This framework includes portlets that provide user functionality such as authoring content, browsing features for accessing content, and providing a view of a user's inbox.
To support SSO solutions within a third-party portal integration, the portlets container must first be configured for container-managed authentication. When this configuration is in place, the IBM FileNet P8 Portlets recognize that the container has taken care of authentication for them.
In cases where links from a portlet start Workplace (configured for container-managed authentication), an SSO infrastructure must also be in place to propagate the SSO provider identity tokens to the container that is hosting the application. Container-managed authentication is required to accept these tokens.
