Provide second level logon / password authentication in Portal.

[kiran_jakkaraju]

I would like to customize our portal using second level logon/password authentication for few of the pages/iviews.

We have Single Sign on provided to portal so, user is not going to get logon page initially, once he gets into ESS Module where he has to see his /her personal information for which we are planing to ask user to enter his / her password or logout him if that is incorrect.

please let me know if any one know if there is any inbuilt functionality already available in Portal.

I am planing to write a Portal Compnent Project using Jspdynpage/PAR project.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Kiran,

ESS uses certain system/aliases in Portal. In those systems used by ESS do not provide any authentication method. Then I think users will be prompted for user id/pwd when they access any of the ESS iViews.

In portal go to System administration > System configuration > System Landscape and find the system which is used by ESS.

then open the object > go to Logon method property and change it to UIDPW

I am writing a custom logon method using PAR.

There are differnt levels of authentcation. but once you login with higher level of authentication then it will not ask for login again.

you can search in SDN for the secutiry levels in portal.

We have added all the users to Portal Group : Authenticated Users group ; and we have browser IE settings provided with "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication"

So, because of this "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" - log off is also not working

If you are using windows integrated authentication then what is the purpose of using logoff link. You can hide it.

The purpose of windows authentication is to directly logon with out furthur authentication.

Eventhough you click logoff it will redirect again into the portal.

If you still want to show logoff link then modify the masthead par file , so that when you click on the logoff button the browser will close. This you can do in Headeriview.jsp

Otherwise you can redirect to the some other page after clickin the logoff link. Search in SDN for that.

As I understood from your reply, If we remove this setting in IE - Enable Integrated Windows Authentication, can we provide , second level authentication for the users?
