WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Components Overview

In this section:

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services (OPS) provides the following set of WebFOCUS components:

These components enable integration between existing Enterprise Information Portals (EIPs) and the WebFOCUS business intelligence platform using Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality. As a result, users are automatically authenticated with WebFOCUS once they log on to their EIP. After receiving the user ID from the EIP through a secure channel, WebFOCUS OPS initiates a trusted Managed Reporting logon on behalf of the user to avoid the subsequent Managed Reporting logon prompt.

For more information about the trusted Managed Reporting logon feature, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration documentation.
