Welcome to the IBM Security Access Manager Demo
for the Microsoft SharePoint Applications Integration.
This is the third episode of the five sessions of the IBM Security Role
and Membership Providers for SharePoint 2010 Series.
Previously, in Episode 2, we demonstrated how to add and deploy the IBM integration solution
into Microsoft SharePoint Server.
In this episode, we will demonstrate how to create a new claims-based web application
and activate the single sign-on feature.
In order to use forms-based authentication,
a web application must be configured for claims authentication.
We would now demonstrate how to create a new SharePoint claims-based web application
but only show configuring specifics for integration requirements.
Open up the Microsoft SharePoint Central Administration Console.
Click on Manage Web Applications.
In the Web Application tab, click new.
In the authentication section of the Create New Web Application window,
select the claims-based authentication radio button.
For this new web application, we will configure it with port 8080.
You need to remember this port number, and we will explain this in later episodes.
Ensure to uncheck "enable windows authentication" option
for the claims authentication types.
You must select enable forms-based authentication for this integration.
This integration also requires you to enter the following role membership providers.
For the membership provider name entry, enter access manager membership provider.
For the role manager name entry, enter access manager role manager.
In the sign-in page URL entry, we must select to use custom sign-in page
and enter the value ~/_layouts/tamsignin.aspx.
Finally, we will update the site URL entry
to be a fully-qualified domain name of the SharePoint server.
In later episodes, you will see how this fully-qualified domain name
and its configured port number will be used to access on WebSEAL.
Click okay to create the web application.
Now that the web application has been completed, we will now activate the single sign-in feature.
Select the new web application created in the previous steps.
Click on manage features from the web application tab.
In the Manage Web Application Feature Section, scroll down.
You will see a feature called [tam] Claims Authentication feature listed.
Select Activate to enable this feature.
After a few moments, this feature will be activated.
The new web application is now configured and enabled with the forms authentication feature.
A side note: throughout this episode, we have shown you how to configure
and activate the integration and single sign-in feature for a new claims-based web application.
This feature can be configured to an existing claim site as well.
You may refer to section configuring the web application
in the integration guide for further information.
This completes Episode 3 for the IBM Security Role Membership Providers
for SharePoint 2010 Series.
In the next episode, we will demonstrate how
to test a single sign-on feature with your web application.
