Using IBM Tivoli Access Manager to Secure Tuxedo Services

Question

Wondering if anybody has any experience using 'IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business' to perform tuxedo service authorization ?
Is there an out-of-the-box integrated solution available or does one have to basically build a security service that use the Tivoli Access Manager APIs to determine if the user is authorized to invoke service?
Thanks,

Hi,
I followed the steps of establishing SSO using TAM for OBIEE application.
Below is the piece of code that i had inserted in the "instanceconfig.xml" to enable SSO:
<Listener>
<!-- other settings ... -->
</Listener>
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type="file" path="<OracleBIData>/web/config/credentialstore.xml" passphrase="another"/> </CredentialStore>
<!-- other settings ... -->
<Auth>
<SSO enabled="true">
<ParamList>
<!--IMPERSONATE param is used to get the authenticated user's username and is re quired -->
<Param name="IMPERSONATE"
source="httpHeader" nameInSource="iv-user"/>
</ParamList> <!--Optional. Replace the URLs with actual logoff/logon URL-->
<LogonUrl>http://pkmslogin</LogonUrl>
<LogoffUrl>http://pkmslogout</LogoffUrl>
</SSO>
</Auth>
My credential store file look Like on below
<sawcs:credential type="usernamePassword" alias="impersonation">
<sawcs:username>USER</sawcs:username>
<sawcs:password>password</sawcs:password>
</sawcs:credential>
In the above code i am trying to get the userID of a User through the header of the application's URL, who has been already been authenticated by Windows desktop Authentication mechanism .
but then i try creating a junction using TAM and access the application through the junction i still get the logon page of OBIEE application...
Can any one help me out in this issue..
Thanks in Advance...
