IBM i: Enabling step-up authentication, the Remember me cookie, or both Step-up authentication provides different
authentication levels for pages and portlets. The Remember me cookie
is an encrypted HTTP cookie that supports authentication and lets
you present personalized portlets and pages in a public area without
the need for users to manually authenticate. Step-up authentication
and the Remember me cookie let remembered users view anonymous pages
and portlets with a standard or identified authentication level. By
providing a valid Remember me cookie, a user can also access protected
pages and portlets that require the identified authentication level.
If the authentication level is set to authenticated, the user must
provide a user ID and password to view the page or portlet.
