    For more information, follow the same procedure as described for configuring URL parameters for URL iViews in the URL iView Editor; see Configuring URL Parameters .

Context

You can create iViews that retrieve data from secure sites, whether on the Web or secure systems in your organization; ones which require users to log on before gaining access to content.

You can use the portal user mapping capability so that end users benefit from the resulting single sign-on (SSO) capability. SSO allows a user to log on to the portal once, and thereafter, start applications and network logon sessions without further authentication requests.

You need to create a separate system for each information source which requires support for user mapping.

Procedure


  1. Open the iView in the XML iView Editor.

  2. In the XML iView Editor, select the Configure URL option.

  3. In the System drop-down list, choose the alias of the system representing the information source upon which the iView is based.
