I thought I had completed my federation when my user logged on in the consumer portal and saw the "producers tab and pages under that tab" however what I also see is a logon screen. When my user logs on I see the content in the producer.
My user shouldn't have to log on again. So, I'm thinking that I have some kind on SSO issue going on.
I checked that my cert from the consumer was installed in the producer J2ee keystore and not expired.
I don't think my producer cert needs to be in the consumer portal does it? I just have my consumer in the producer.
