• Key Concepts: 
  Portal federation is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) Global Portal (GP) component that allows users to access multiple portals from a single sign-on. This means that users can access multiple portals without having to log in and out of each one. It also allows for the sharing of data and resources between the portals, making it easier for users to access the information they need. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use portal federation, users must first set up a single sign-on account with the EP GP component. Once this is done, they can then access multiple portals from this single account. The user can then access the data and resources shared between the portals without having to log in and out of each one. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
