New JBoss Portal and SSO framework integration guide

Posted 29 days ago by nor...@blogger.com (Marek Posolda)

JBoss Portal supports integration with various well known SSO frameworks such as CAS, JOSSO and OpenSSO. Basic integration with CAS and JOSSO frameworks is described in Portal reference guide but if you are interested in more advanced configurations ... [More] , you can look at our new SSO Frameworks Integration Guide.

This guide covers step by step instructions of JBoss Portal and SSO frameworks integration in various setups that are commonly found in software enterprises. Maybe you can find an answer for some of questions that have been plaguing you.

The guide covers these integration scenarios:

Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host (HTTP protocol is used).Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server on same host. Secure communication is used between JBoss Portal agent and SSO framework (HTTPS protocol is used).Integration of SSO server and more JBoss Portal instances deployed on multiple hosts Integration of JBoss Portal, SSO server and sample thirdparty web application.Integration of JBoss Portal and SSO server deployed on different hosts. SSO server is configured for authentication against portal database.

Since we are focussed on delivering a high quality portal server, we always try to integrate various scenarios in our automated test suite. We currently have automated most of the scenarios mentioned above using Selenium and Hudson and you can see the test results at http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20Portal/job/jboss-portal-2.7-sso-selenium-tests/lastBuild/testReport/(root)/. Please let us know if your setup does not belong to one of these and we will try to include that as well. [Less]

JBoss Portlet Bridge CR2 is out!

Posted about 1 month ago by nor...@blogger.com (Wesley Hales)

This will (hopefully) be the last release before we go GA and move on to the 286 portlet 2.0 bridge.

For now, the most notable enhancements (apart from bug fixes) are the addition of the PortletScope annototation for Seam components and the ... [More] revised PortalIdentity bridgelet.

We also modified the Seam booking demo to no longer use its provided User database table. The app now uses JBoss Portal Identity through PortalIdentity.

You can check out the new features in this video:

JBoss Portlet Bridge - Lesson 2: Portlet 1.0 Advanced Seam and RichFaces from Wesley Hales on Vimeo.

To show off some new features in the CR2 release, I threw together a simple chat-client and chat-room set of portlets using Richfaces poll and Seam stateful session beans.

This screencast shows how to use the new PortletScope annotation along with the revised SSO/PortalIdentity component.

Source code for this tutorial:

JBoss Portlet Bridge CR1 Released!

Posted 3 months ago by nor...@blogger.com (Wesley Hales)

We have released CR1 for the JBoss Portlet Bridge. Thanks to all who submitted fixes and enhancements. I also created the first of (hopefully) many screen casts that will guide you on how to use and develop with the JBoss Portlet Bridge.

In ... [More] this release:
The RichFaces file upload rich:fileUpload component is working. The component currently only works with the param createTempFiles set to false in your web.xml. Also, you must check for the response type is of type RenderResponse. See the paint() method for an example.
The PortalIdentity bridgelet which provides SSO between your Seam portlet and JBoss Portal is now working with the current Seam 2.1.x Identity model. See here for details.

The PortalResourceBuilder bridgelet received a noteworthy upgrade and now works (should work) in all browsers. This component is for portal pages that contain 2 or more RichFaces components in seperate portlet windows. It namespaces the auto generated RF javascript and loads it only once for each component.

Better docs, scalability upgrades, markup validation fix, and many other bug fixes went into this release. See the release notes for more info.
