Maximo Open Forum

Hi,

Can someone explain me in easy terms what is spengo in maximo? Purpose of it ? And how to check if our maximo is spengo configured? Other option that can be used?

 I am new to this websphere part and would be highly grateful if you could spare some time for this.

Thanks.

There was an excellent document from long ago (that I printed out) titled "WebSphere with a side of SPNEGO" that explained it well.  My googling is failing me at the moment; I can't find the document on any kind of IBM support site -- if I could, I'd provide a link.  I did find it on other sites though. . .

Quoting the first sentence in that document:
"SPNEGO, or the Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism, enables a straightforward single sign-on (SSO) mechanism for WebSphere in Kerberos environments."

How to tell if you have it?  A good indicator would be:

log into WebSphere; 

choose Global Security from the left menu;

expand Web and SIP security;

choose SPNEGO Web authentication;

see if the 'Enable SPNEGO' checkbox is checked

Thanks, Travis.

I also tried finding the document but getting flooded with many ,not sure which is the one. So, I understood that its a sso authentication process, but is it sso for websphere or maximo ui?

Thanks
