2. INTRODUCTION
The out-of-box user interfaces in the IBM Business Process Manager platform provide ready-to-use, web-based user interfaces that are well suited for human interaction with business processes. These tools are a good choice when the user interface is primarily within the context of a process flow. But very often, a business user requires more tools in the context of the broader business environment. IBM WebSphere Portal is an enterprise-ready portal platform to address such requirements. It provides the ability to integrate different user interface components to present web content and collaboration capabilities in the context of a human task. A great advantage of using WebSphere Portal as the user interface to business processes is its ability to render additional portlets on the same page as the portlets showing the business process data. These "supporting portlets" typically provide functionality that is useful within and outside the business process context, such as address book lookups, content display, or social and collaborative functions. IBM Business Process Manager provides its own technology for user interfaces, called Coaches. These Coaches can be integrated into WebSphere Portal - that is, through a portlet. The Business Process Manager V8.0 Unified Task List portlet and the Coach portlet from the Unified Task List (UTL) package use this approach.

Click on Apply. Click Set as Current. Click Apply. Click OK. Save changes to the master configuration. Restart the BPM server.
www.royalcyber.com
6. SSO - SINGLE SIGN ON BETWEEN WP AND BPM Set up single sign-on (SSO) between two or more instances of IBM WebSphere Application Server so users can authenticate to all applications running on WebSphere Application Server with a single log in. For example, we can set up SSO on WebSphere Application Server to enable single authentication sessions between IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM WebSphere Process Server or between WebSphere Portal and IBM Lotus Quickr for WebSphere Portal. SSO on WebSphere Application Server is established through Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) keys. We export the LTPA key from one instance of WebSphere Application Server then import that key into a different instance of WebSphere Application Server to establish SSO.
Important: Synchronize the time on each instance of WebSphere Application Server for which you plan to set up SSO. LTPA tokens use timestamps from the server to timeout. SSO failures can occur because the time difference between servers is greater than the timeout value of the LTPA tokens.
6.1 ENABLEING SSO BETWEEN WP AND BPM Enable single sign-on (SSO) on WebSphere Application Server(PBM) and WebSphere Application Server(Portal) instances for which you plan to establish SSO.
6.1.1
STEPS
To enable SSO on WebSphere Application Server, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administration console of BPM. Navigate to Security > Global Security. In the Authentication cache settings section, expand Web and SIP security then select Single signon (SSO). In the General Properties section, specify the following configuration values for single sign-on: Fields Enabled Requires SSL Domain name Interoperability Mode LTPA V1 cookie name Web inbound security attribute propagation 5. 6. Click OK and save to the master configuration. Repeat the preceding steps for Portal instance of WebSphere Application Server for which you plan to establish SSO, in our case, portal.rcyber.com Values Selected by default Unchecked rcyber.com Select this field if not selected by default LPTAToken1 Selected by default
www.royalcyber.com
6.2 EXPORTING THE LTPA KEY Export a Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) key from BPM WebSphere Application Server to import into other(portal) instances of WebSphere Application Server. You only need to export the LTPA key from one server. 6.2.1 STEPS
To export the single sign-on key, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administration console by https://bpm.rcyber.com:9043/ibm/console/ Navigate to Security > Global security > Authentication > LTPA. In the Cross-cell single sign-on section, specify a password for the LTPA key. Enter the LTPA key name and directory to which you want to export the key in the Fully qualified key file name field. For example, on Windows, enter C:\my_key_name. Click Export keys. Click OK and save to the master configuration. Navigate to the directory where you exported the LTPA key. Copy the LTPA key to the file system(portal.rcyber.com) where you plan to import it.
6.3 EXPORTING THE LTPA KEY Import the LTPA key into WebSphere Application Server of portal. You can import the same LTPA key into multiple servers. 6.3.1 STEPS
To import the LTPA key into portal.rcyber.com, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administration console by https://portal.rcyber.com:10032/ibm/console Navigate to Security > Global security > Authentication > LTPA. In the Cross-cell single sign-on section, specify the password for the LTPA key. Enter the directory on your file system where you copied the LTPA key in the Fully qualified key file name field which C:\my_key_name. Click Import keys. Click OK and save to the master configuration. Restart both the server you exported the LTPA key from and the server into which you imported the LTPA key. Restart the servers only after you have imported the LTPA key into all the servers for which you plan to establish SSO.
www.royalcyber.com
6.4 VERIFIY SSO You have successfully established SSO between multiple instances of WebSphere Application Server when you can log in to one administration console then access the other administration consoles without having to log in again. 6.4.1 STEPS
To verify SSO, do the following: 1. 2. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administration console where you exported the LTPA key by https://bpm.rcyber.com:9043/ibm/console/ In your browser's address bar, enter the URL for the WebSphere Application Server administration console where you imported the LTPA key which is https://portal.rcyber.com:10032/ibm/console
If the WebSphere Application Server administration console of portal opens without requiring you to log in, you have successfully set up SSO.

7. INTEGRATING WEBSPHERE PORTAL WITH IBM BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGER A great advantage of using WebSphere Portal as the user interface to business processes is its ability to render additional portlets on the same page as the portlets showing the business process data. These "supporting portlets" typically provide functionality that is useful within and outside the business process context, such as address book lookups, content display, or social and collaborative functions. IBM Business Process Manager provides its own technology for user interfaces, called Coaches. These Coaches can be integrated into WebSphere Portal - that is, through a portlet. The Business Process Manager V8.0 Unified Task List portlet and the Coach portlet from the Unified Task List (UTL) package use this approach.
7.1 PREREQUISITE There is at least one considerations that must be handled for integration approach. 7.1.1 SINGLE SIGN-ON PREREQUISITE
Single sign-on (SSO) is a common prerequisite that applies to all Portal-BPM integration options. With SSO, the user's authentication with Portal is automatically propagated to the BPM system. Without this feature, the user would have to perform a separate authentication with the BPM system before accessing its features. SSO is achieved by establishing a common security context between WebSphere Portal and the BPM system. 7.2 CONFIGURING UNIFIED TASK LIST PORTLET WebSphere Portal V8.0 has out-of-box Unified Task List Portlet and Coach Detail Portlet. The Unified Task List provides a single point of integration between multiple systems and displays tasks that WebSphere Portal users must complete to advance workflows.
www.royalcyber.com
7.2.1
STEPS
Follow the steps to configure Unified Task List Portlet. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Log in to WebSphere Portal either as an administrator or a user assigned to the Manager role for the Unified Task List portlet. Create a Page. Go to Page Edit Layout. Place/Add portlet on a page. Click on upper right corner of the Unified Task List portlet title bar to access the portlet menu and select Configure.
