Implementing a Federated Portal Network 

Organizations can implement a federated portal network using SAP NetWeaver to share content between a number of portal systems.

A federated portal network allows organizations with distributed portal installations, both SAP and non-SAP, to provide a single portal access point per user to portal information, services and applications distributed on portals throughout the entire organizational network. This implementation allows existing content and configurations to be utilized, and to minimize necessary administration efforts.

For information on the issues you need to consider and plan for in order to secure the portals in your federated portal network, see Security Considerations.
