To configure Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token authentication, collect the LTPA token authentication information. Do not configure the client for LTPA token authentication unless the authentication mechanism configured in WebSphere® Application Server is LTPA.
Use this task to configure Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token authentication. Do not configure the client for LTPA token authentication unless the authentication mechanism configured in WebSphere Application Server is LTPA. When a client authenticates to a WebSphere Application Server, the credential created contains an LTPA token. When a Web service calls a downstream Web service, you can configure the first Web service to send the LTPA token from the originating client. Do not attempt to configure LTPA from a pure client. LTPA works only when you configure the client-side of a Web service acting as a client to a downstream Web service. In order for the downstream Web service to validate the LTPA token, the LTPA keys on both servers must be the same.
Complete the following steps to specify how to collect the LTPA token authentication information:
