Ceptor (previously PortalProtect) is a security solution that protects portals and application servers, regardless of the communication type used, be it REST services, SOAP, JSP, Servlets, EJB, Web or other types of communication. Ceptor can provide Authentication and Authorization checking on all resources, as well as provide secure communication between clients and servers.
Any number of web servers, application servers or other types of servers can be integrated, and used to create personalized content and session sharing between all applications, so users experience single sign-on with access (depending on authorization of course) to all applications available in your portal.
