Migrating other portal functions

  1. If using Web Express™ Logon (WEL), you may need to change the WEL plug-in classes because some plug-in classes for IBM® portlets and standard portlets are different.
    For example, WEL plug-in classes used in IBM® portlets are:
    • WebSphere® Portal Network Security: com.ibm.hats.common.wel.WebSpherePortalNS
    • WebSphere® Portal Credential Vault Credential Mapper: com.ibm.eNetwork.security.sso.cms.CredentialVaultCM
    WEL plug-in classes used in standard portlets are:
    • WebSphere® Portal Network Security: com.ibm.hats.common.wel.StandardPortletNS
    • WebSphere® Portal Credential Vault Credential Mapper: com.ibm.hats.common.wel.StandardPortletCredentialVaultCM
  2. If you implement credential vault in your portlet application, you must migrate the code that accesses the credential vault service. For more information see documentation for your level of HCL Digital Experience (formerly WebSphere Portal): Portlet authentication.
  3. If you implement portlet communication, you must convert the communication mechanism used. For more information, see Portlet communication.
