Authentication considerations for custom portlets
When you are planning to create portlets, you should keep in mind the following authentication considerations.
*
If your portlet is a Digital Analytics for On Premises report from an installation configured to use Marketing Platform for authentication or to use no authentication, or a dashboard report from any other IBM® EMM product that uses Marketing Platform for authentication, users are not prompted for credentials when they view the portlet.
*
If your portlet is a Digital Analytics for On Premises report from an installation that is not configured to use Marketing Platform for authentication, the user must enter login credentials one time per browser session.
*
If your portlet is a NetInsight OnDemand report or an internet or intranet page that requires authentication, the portlet behaves as a browser would. The user must enter login credentials in the content of the page the first time they view it during a browser session, and cookies are used to keep the user logged in.
*
If your portlet is an IBM® Digital Analytics report, users can view only those reports for which they have permissions in IBM® Digital Analytics. Also, if single-sign-on is enabled with IBM® Digital Analytics, users can view IBM® Digital Analytics reports in Marketing Platform dashboards without entering their credentials. Otherwise, users must enter their IBM® Digital Analytics credentials to view IBM® Digital Analytics reports in Marketing Platform dashboards.
