Chapter 3: Environment Setup (Business Server Administrators)
3-6
Designing a Business System
The business system administrator must clarify and report the following items to the SSO administrator
when adding a business system to the Interstage Single Sign-on:
• Business system public URL
• Path configuration to be authenticated
• Whether to use SSL communication
• Whether to use Interstage Portalworks linkage
• Interstage version and edition
If the business system does not support SSL, the SSO administrator must check whether a non-SSL
connection is permitted.
Caution
Interstage Single Sign-on controls access to protect resources in the business server. However, if the
business server is not operated in SSL communication mode, the protected resources may be tapped
from the network. Operating the business server in SSL communication mode enables the
communication contents to be encrypted and protected from tapping. It is strongly recommended to
operate the business server in SSL communication mode.
Notes
• Interstage Single Sign-on disables change of the business system public URL being operated.
If the public URL is to be changed, the business system must be set up again.
• To set up a business system that links with Application Gateway and can be accessed from
clients only on the Internet, prevent all the first hierarchies of the URL path of the business
system from being the same as those of other business systems. The root path (“/”) of the
business system cannot be accessed from the clients. For details, refer to “Linkage with
Application Gateway.”
