Log on to Service Manager by using LW-SSO when an HWLB is located between the browser and the web tier

This section describes how to log on Service Manager by using Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) when an HWLB is located between the browser and the web tier.

Prerequisites

Before you begin this process, verify that the following conditions are true:

  • The HWLB is configured to accept client requests, as described inConfigure an HWLB to accept client requests in HTTP mode.
  • A pool contains the members that point to the web application server (for example, Tomcat).
  • The server and the web tier share the same initString setting.
  • LW-SSO works without the HWLB.

    Note If the domain name of the HWLB is not the same as the domain name of the web tier, you must set the value of the domain parameter in the lwssofmconf.xml file on the web tier to the domain name of the HWLB.

Enable LW-SSO

  1. Enable LW-SSO on the Service Managerserver. For more information about how to do this, see Configure LW-SSO in the Service Manager server.

  2. Enable LW-SSO on the web tier. For more information about how to do this, see Configure LW-SSO in the Service Manager Web tier.
