I am not pretty sure if this the right place for this question, if it is not i will tank you to redirect me.
Ok, well i am a web developer (Java, jsp, jpa, etc) now i finish a project for a company wich is web based, and i will start another one in a few days, but i don want to tu have multiple access paths like this “http://app1” “http://app2”, instead it would be nice to have just one entry point like this “http://companypage” and then once inside a menu with the different options according the user profile, like this app1 app2, so the user do not have to enter his username and password for every application.
Right now i am reading about LifeRay wich seems to be what i need, but it requires to change my application in order to develop it as a portlet and i am not sure about changing so much.
Hope you can help me.
Have you looked into CAS? This would provide the entry point for authentication. Each application would still need to have a common menu bar with all the applications a user has access to.
