The ATG plug-in consists of extensions to the Business Control Center that provide access to four of the SSO server functions discussed above: login, validate, keep alive, and logout. (The fifth function, control, is accessed only by the Endeca plug-in.) These extensions include the /atg/dynamo/servlet/dafpipeline/CommerceSSOServlet component (of class atg.userprofiling.commercesso.CommerceSSOServlet), which is inserted in the ATG request-handling pipeline on the Content Administration server. This component manages much of the communication between the Content Administration server and the SSO server.

CIM includes options for configuring the SSO server instance. In addition, the CIM Commerce Add-Ons screen has a Single Sign-On option for configuring the Content Administration server with information that enables it to communicate with the SSO server, such as the SSO server’s host name and port number.
