org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn valve portability

Question

I am thinking of using the tomcat org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn valve for my single sign on, as documented here

If I go with this approach, what would I need to do to my applications if I decide to move my application from tomcat to another web container such as jboss, glassfish, weblogic, or websphere?

Answer 1

The good news is that Tomcat's SSO shouldn't require you to change anything about your webapp. That means that your webapps are still fully-portable -- at least individually.

If you want to move to, say Websphere, you'll have to figure out how to use that container's SSO mechanism.
