Remove login prompt
My users want to be able to display a Jazz Dashboard on a big screen in their department. They do this now but after a while they have to log back into Jazz. They want this to be permanent...either login once and never logout, or login via SSO.
Is this a job for the Jazz Authorization Server? Kerberos? Could it break REST scripts that use login credentials? Eclipse clients?
I'm wondering what the best path forward is.
Thanks!
One answer
This is up to your organization's policy on login duration. Jazz applications do not do authentication; the underlying infrastructure does (e.g. the application server, like WebSphere, in conjunction with an LDAP user registry). Depending on your infrastructure, there are probably timeout properties you can control to determine how long a login session lasts (e.g. the LTPA token timeout in WebSphere).

Hey John, I really appreciate your answer.
The issue with LTPA is that for my use case, it would effect everybody, whereas I just want one user to be able to get a license and not have to login again.
I was thinking that Jazz Authorization Server with Kerboros would help...as in, the authentication would occur before I ever got to Jazz, so no login would appear. I'm researching and getting mixed information.
Perhaps the simplest answer to this would be to script the browser so it logs in after the LTPA period is up. I wouldn't know where to begin with that.
