need your help~, anyone can give me some help?

I am new to the System Portal Server 7, and now I am doing some project, I need your help to give me some ideas.

now my school has 4 organizations, and each organization has its own system, now I want to use the portal server to realise the single sign on.

except the backend access manager configurations and settings, for the portal, how should I do it, do I need to write a portlet and deploy it ? or I just need to make some simple log in page (without using the portlet), because what we need is very simple, just a user log in page, after log in, there are 4 links linked to those 4 separate websites..and when he click any link, he will be redirected to the site without log in again..

Hope you can give me some hints, Thank you very much!!

1) Deploy the Bookmarks Channel. Modify the properties so that it displays the links that you need. Alternatively, you can also just deploy a JSPPortlet and modify the content.jsp with the HTML that you need.

2) Deploy Policy Agents on the various web servers that you have in your organizations. These policy servers will protect the content on those servers. Users will be automatically redirected to the Access Manager Login Page if they don't have a valid session. Then, the AM will take the user back to the requested URL once login is successful.

3) Create users, roles, and organizations in Access Manager for your user community

4) Create policies in Access Manager for each host that you are protecting. Policies are simple rules that control who can access the resources you are protecting. Some things might not be protected, while other things might require membership in a particular role or organization.

Once a user logs in, they will have a valid session and the policy agents on the various hosts will allow access to the protected resources without needing to log in again.

Hi Jim,

then how should I make the Log in page? I installed ps 7 and those 3 examples on my school server already, everything works fine.

So I create a new orgnization in Access manager, and then in ps console -> portal -> myPortal, I depoly the portlet here, right? so for the log in page? do I need to write a portlet for log in? or is there any existing function in ps console that I can add in the login part in to the new org desktop?

thanks a lot!

Take a look at the developer sample. There is a Login Provider that does the login. You will need to update the JSP for this provider so that it logs you in to the correct organization.- Jim
