Integrating Oracle Applications E-Business Suite 12.1.1 with OID 11.1.1.6 and OAM 11.1.2

Single sign-on (SSO) is a property of access control of multiple related, but independent software systems. With this property a user logs in once and gains access to all systems without being prompted to log in again at each of them. Conversely, Single sign-off is the property whereby a single action of signing out terminates access to multiple software systems.

Take for example Google. If you login to Gmail with your user id and password, you do not need to separately login to other associated websites like Google calendar, Google drive, GQueues, YouTube, Picassa etc. Your current Gmail login acts as the point of Single Sign-on. Similarly, Oracle's solution to Single Sign-on is Oracle SSO/Oracle Access Manager. The product which holds the user information is Oracle Internet Directory and its underlying technology is LDAP. OID is associated with a Metadata Repository database which hosts the ODS schema needed for OID.

With De-Support notices for Oracle Single Sign-On out already, it is imperative for Customers to upgrade to Oracle Access Manager which comes as a part of Fusion Middleware 11g software. Similar is the story for OID 10g and Customers should look for upgrading to OID 11g.

By going through the chapters you will come across a wide range of Fusion Middleware products like Weblogic, OID, OAM to name a few and also steps to integrate E-Business Suite R12.1.1 with the Fusion Middleware products.

This book is written to help and instill confidence in the field DBAs and Oracle Applications consultants to successfully deploy the products with a greater understanding of the architecture. This book has all the screenshots and details of how to go about with the implementation.
