OpenSSO and Liferay integration

You may ask, "Why are you blogging about it here?". Well...isn't open source all about being open, collaborative and helping each other? OpenPortal Portal Server tightly integrates with Access Manager and leverages all (well almost!) of its features. It so happened that I was investigating into pluggable SSO for OpenPortal and ended up writing an auth filter as a prototype. Recently noticed that Liferay integrates with CAS using an auth filter. So thought why not try this with OpenSSO. You can read a rather lengthy blog here if you care about the details.

Thanks to OpenPortal, Sun Integration Partner gets it done "now" for their customer

 
Building a successful open source community requires having access to a capable set of individuals/organizations that have a passion for the technology the community represents. Thanks to the success Sun Java Portal Server has had over the years, the OpenPortal project inherited thousands of customers and partners interested in Sun's portal technology. One recent example - ICSynergy, a long time Sun system integration partner, found having access to the Sun Java Portal Server source helped them to resolve a major issue for their customer in a fraction of the time it would have taken in the "old days". Read the ICSynergy story

Enhanced cluster support for Portal Server 7.2

Cluster support for Portal Server 7.2With Portal Server 7.2, the steps to install portal on an AS cluster is straight forward. It is just like creating multiple portal instances the only difference being the instances belong to a cluster. The only additional attribute to be set for the cluster specific instance is the ClusterID attribute.

All it requires is to create an AS cluster with the required number of instances and create a portal instance for each of the clustered application server instances.

The cluster setup instructions page specifies how to create a simple cluster setup with 2 instances managed by a load balancer.

Adding a new instance to the cluster is also straightforward. Create an application server instance (e.g. newinstance) belonging to the cluster (e.g pscluster). Then create a portal instance pointing to the created appserver instance and the appserver cluster i.e, set WebContainerInstanceName=newinstance and ClusterID=pscluster in the WebContainer.properties.SJSAS91 file and run psadmin create-instance.
