Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On

Overview

Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On supports single sign-on for web applications, allowing web users who access Oracle systems to sign in once, and be authenticated to multiple web applications including Oracle and non-Oracle applications.

Oracle web applications delegate the login function to the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On. When a user first logs into an Oracle application, the application redirects the user to the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On. The Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On authenticates the user by verifying the credentials entered by the user against those stored in Oracle Internet Directory. After authenticating the user, and throughout the rest of the session, the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On grants the user access to all the components the user both seeks and is authorized to use.
