Enterprise information portals (EIPs) have brought together the worlds of business intelligence and knowledge management into a new, centralized desktop environment providing a single point of access to relevant information, enabling better, faster workflow and decision-making. However, EIPs still require that the user re-authenticate for all applications that lie beyond the portal. The result is an increase in time related to password management issues requiring Help Desk support, impacting productivity for users and IT.

This white paper will examine the authentication issues related to applications accessed via portals and details a plug-in solution that optimizes authentication to IBM Lotus applications by enabling end-users to authenticate just once when entering the portal, eliminating repeated authentication.
