Portlet Producer

The Portlet Producer page lists the portlet producers and pagelet producers currently registered with WebCenter Portal. It also enables you to register additional producers and edit or deregister existing producers.

Registering a WSRP Portlet Producer

To register a WSRP producer in WebCenter Portal:

1. Click the icon for Portlet Producer Settings.
2. On the menu bar, click Register.
3. In the Register Portlet Producer page, enter connection details for the WSRP portlet producer.
   For details, see WSRP Producer Connection Parameters.
4. Use the Security section to specify the type of security token to use for the identity propagation/assertion.

   For details, see WSRP Producer Security Connection Parameters.

   The security token with the propagated or asserted user information is represented as an XML element in the SOAP header. The security token and the SOAP message body are then digitally signed to prove the authenticity of the SOAP message origin from the WebCenter Portal application. WebCenter Portal supports six types of security token.

   • WSS 1.0 Username Token Without Password

   • WSS 1.0 Username Token With Password

   • WSS 1.0 SAML Token

   • WSS 1.0 SAML Token With Message Integrity

   • WSS 1.0 SAML Token With Message Protection

   • WSS 1.1 SAML Token With Message Protection

   SAML is an abbreviation for Security Assertion Markup Language.

5. Click Test to verify that the server details you provided are correct.

   If the server is contactable, a success message is displayed. If the server is down or the host information is incorrect or no longer valid, a connection failure message is displayed.

   Note:

   The test performs a simple server (host/port) PING test. Anything in the path after the host:port is ignored. To verify whether the producer is accessible, access the producer's test page in your browser. See Testing WSRP Producer Connections.
