IBM portal 8 impersonation feature

IBM portal 8 has come up with latest feature which saves lot of time for developers. I had worked one of JEEE project in which I have used impersonation feature. For achieving this feature, J2EE developers are using too much code and testing efforts.

I would like to describe in brief about impersonation feature for those who do not know about this. This feature is used to replicate the end user screen to understand the issue of end user.
Suppose user X has some issue in his web-site (using X's credentials). He raised request for web-site administrator and explained about his issue. For understanding the issue of user X, administrator will impersonate the screen of User X and will try to replicate the issue without informing user X.
This feature is useful to understand the end user functionality or support.



IBM portal 8 provides this feature by default in portal server.

Keep tracking of this blog... I will add more post on portal new features which beats the market of other portal servers.
