Questions about configuring single sign-on(SSO) with Java ES 5's communications services products (i.e.,  Messaging Server, Calendar server, Communications Express) are very common on the portal's discussion boards. While it is quite easy to configure SSO, it involves a number of manual steps and is hence error prone.

One of the guides that I constantly refer to and also point others when they are struggling with SSO is the Java ES 5 communications services deployment example for a single host. This guide explains configuration of the related components of the Java ES 5 stack. If you already have the communications products installed and configured for SSO then you can directly skip to the section that discusses configuration of the portal's communications channels.

The guide provides only the quick and easy information that you need to get things working. For more detailed information about the communications channels check out the Portal Configuration Guide.

Comments:

As the writer on the Sun Java System Communications Services 2005Q4 on a Single Host doc, just wanted to say thanks for the plug. Also, the doc has been updated for Communications Suite 5/ Java ES 5, and is available here:

Unfortunately, in the newer version, because of the separation out of Comms from JES, it no longer describes installing with Portal Server.

Thanks for the updated information, Joe. I think the new guide will still be useful to configure SSO on the comms products. Configuring the portal channels is covered in our guide.
