Portal Server in a Domino Environment
J2EE Out of the Box Environment Integrates various LDAP suppliers
Integrates various reverse proxy / security providers
Integrates various database suppliers
Supports J2EE Applications from any source
Supports a wide variety of customizations
J2EE Programming Environment Provides the full resources of the environment
Requires training
Planning for Portal Server & Domino
Authentication and Access Control Credential Vault
LDAP
LDAP Configuration Multiple directories with different users require referrals
Multiple directories with the same users require synchronization
Single central directory lowers cost and complexity
DIT structure CN and UID are commonly used
Search on simple name
Search base
Planning for Portal Server & Domino
Single Sign On LTPA - supported by WAS and Domino, requires all servers in same
Internet domain (multiple Domino domains OK)
LTPA with multiple LDAP directories is complex
