Who Should Use the OpenSSO Add-On?

The Web Space Server OpenSSO Add-On is intended for developers who want to implement single sign-on and authentication features in their portals and portlets in general.

In addition, the OpenSSO Add-On is useful for developers and administrators who are migrating from Portal Server to Web Space Server. In this regard, the OpenSSO Add-On is particularly useful in three scenarios:

• When upgrading a Sun Java System Portal Server 7.x installation to Web Space Server 10.0, the OpenSSO Add-On enables the mapping of user role-based content assignments in Portal Server to analogous community-based content assignments in Web Space Server 10.0.

• For developers and administrators familiar with Portal Server software, the OpenSSO Add-On enables you to define role-based content privileges in Web Space Server, similar to the functionality provided in Portal Server.

• When migrating an existing Portal Server user base to Web Space Server, the OpenSSO Add-On makes it possible to perform bulk imports of Portal Server user accounts into Web Space Server.
