Deploying Host On-Demand with WebSphere Portal

As an alternative to accessing Host On-Demand through an HTML file, users can access it through Portal Server, which is a component of WebSphere Portal. Portal Server provides a framework for plugging content extensions known as portlets into a Web site. Portlets are applications that run within Portal Server. They organize content from different sources (such as Web sites, e-mail, and business applications) and display it on a single HTML file in a browser window. The WAR files generated by the Deployment Wizard used to launch Host On-Demand sessions can be deployed as portlets, enabling users to access Host On-Demand through the portal interface. If you are planning to use Host On-Demand and Portal Server in conjunction with a firewall, refer to Using Host On-Demand with a firewall. Also, if you are planning to use security features of WebSphere Portal, such as the user's Portal ID or the Portal Server Credential Vault, refer to the

Both Host On-Demand and Portal Server must be installed to run a Host On-Demand portlet.
