4.3.2 Creating a HATS portlet project to use Web Express Logon

To create a HATS portlet project, follow the instructions and steps in 3.4.4,

“Creating the HATS credential integration portlet” on page 238. We name the

project HATS_WEL. After we create the project, we see the HATS Studio project

view as shown in Figure 4-2.

4.3.3 Configuring Web Express Logon in a HATS project

In this section, we enable and configure Web Express Logon for our HATS_WEL

project. This differs from the normal Web Express Logon process, when using

WEL together with portal server credential service. We need to configure only

the credential mapper plug-in for Web Express Logon. We do

not need to

configure a network security provider plug-in.

6. Under Details (Figure 4-8), set the SLOT_ID and SLOT_TYPE initialization

parameters. Credential mapper uses these values and other parameters to

assemble the credential slot name in the portal server. For our scenario, for

SLOT-ID, we specify the value myHATSVault. For SLOT_TYPE, we leave a

default value of 2.
