Why and when to perform this task
A junction must be created between WebSEAL and WebSphere Application Server. This junction carries the iv-credentials (for TAI++) or iv-user (for TAI) and the HTTP basic authentication headers with the request. You can configure WebSEAL to pass the end user identity in other ways, the iv-credentials header is the only one supported by the TAI++ and the iv-user is the only one supported by TAI.We recommend that communications over the junction use SSL for increased security. Setting up SSL across this junction requires that you configure the HTTP Server used by WebSphere Application Server, and WebSphere Application Server itself, to accept inbound SSL traffic and route it correctly to WebSphere Application Server. This activity requires importing the necessary signing certificates into the WebSEAL certificate keystore, and possibly also the HTTP Server certificate keystore.
TAI++
server task webseald-server create -t ssl -b supply -c iv_creds
-h host_name -p websphere_app_port_number junction_name
TAI
server task webseald-server create -t ssl -b supply -c iv_user
-h host_name -p websphere_app_port_number junction_name
For single signon to WebSphere Application Server the SSO password must be set in WebSEAL. To set the password, complete the following steps:

What to do next
For more details and options about how to configure junctions between WebSEAL and WebSphere Application Server, including other options for specifying the WebSEAL server identity, refer to the Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL Administration Guide as well as to the documentation for the HTTP Server you are using with your WebSphere Application Server.
