Implementing single sign-on (SSO)

In general, Web applications hosted in a container such as Jetty are independent of other Web applications, and each Web application is configured with its own security implementation. To simplify the security configuration for third-party Web applications and provide a single point of entry to users, OpenEdge Management provides an SSO process—sharing a session cache implementation—for all Web applications running in its Web server.

To share a session cache implementation, you can use the sample Web application shipped with OpenEdge Management as a template. A custom session cache configuration shares session login information with the third-party Web application. You can use this configuration as an SSO solution for your third-party Web applications or provide your own security implementation.
