Hi, recently I was asked to enable SSO for Liferay Portal 6.2CE in an enviroment based on the NetIQ SecureLogin from Microfocus. Does somebody have an idea if this is possible and how? I don't know nothing on NetIQ Secure Login product and not very much on SSO scenarios in general. Can someone give me any hints on this topic?

Thanks in advance,

Marco

You'll have to find out if there's an overlap between Liferay's supported SSO protocols and the ones that NetIQ offers.

As 6.2 CE is quite old (outdated since 2016) and didn't offer SAML (unless you find something still on the marketplace), look for anything else that NetIQ supports, e.g. header-based authentication (e.g. through a reverse proxy).

Thanks Olaf! In the market there isn't anything useful for this, so I will follow you header-based hint
