SSO Introduction

The security service allows the centralized authentication and authorization to use every tool that belongs to the interoperability infrastructure. This service supports the Single Sign-On, it means that the user logs in once and can access all the systems of the interoperability infrastructure. The security service is based on the Java Open Single Sign-On (JOSSO) framework version 1.8.7 (see: ). The complete library can be downloaded from:. JOSSO is based on several other standards like: JAAS, Web Services/SOAP and Realm and also supports useful features like “remember me” and “password reset”.

This wiki addresses two issues: the installation of the centralized security service (also called gateway) and the configuration of a partner application (also called agent) that should be able to interact with the security service.
