Oracle Single Sign-On Software & Editions Required Oracle Single Sign-On Server Editions Oracle AS Standard Edition Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle Single Sign-On How it Integrates Oracle HTML DB can integrate with Oracle Single Sign-on as a: Partner Application External Application Signing on to the Oracle Login Server means you're authenticated to any Oracle HTML DB application using the SSO Authentication Scheme

Oracle Single Sign-On Steps to Configure Download & Install the SSO SDK into your HTML DB Schema Alternatively, you can install the SSO SDK into a separate schema, in order to preserve it when HTML DB is upgraded Create an SSO Authentication Scheme in your HTML DB Application Register Oracle HTML DB or a specific Oracle HTML DB Application as a Partner Application

Oracle Portal Software & Editions Required OmniPortlet Oracle Single Sign-On Server Oracle Internet Directory Editions Oracle AS Standard Edition Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle Portal How it Integrates Oracle Portal can be used as a launch point for Oracle HTML DB Applications which are integrated with Oracle SSO The OmniPortlet can display any Oracle HTML DB Report of type XML as a table, chart, news items, bullets, or in a form OmniPortlets can drill-down into Oracle HTML DB applications Page Parameters can be passed to the OmniPortlet in order to filter the results from Oracle HTML DB

Oracle Portal Steps to Configure Create a SQL Report in HTML DB Ensure the the Report Title and Column Titles contain no spaces (DeptNo instead of Dept No) Change the Report Template to export: XML Create an OmniPortlet of type XML Supply the URL for the page with your Oracle HTML DB XML Report for the XML URL Specify the Filter, View and Layout parameters Under View, select "Don't Cache the Portlet Content" to ensure that you don't see stale data in Oracle Portal

Oracle Internet Directory Software & Editions Required Oracle AS Standard Edition with Identity Management Option Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle Internet Directory How it Integrates Oracle HTML DB Users & Groups can be stored in Oracle Internet Directory (OID) OID can be synchronized with MS Active Directory OID Groups can be referenced in Oracle HTML DB Authorization Schemes to restrict access to Oracle HTML DB applications and/or components Users can manage their own account (change their password, edit their profile) via OID Administrators can enforce security policies (password settings & expiration dates, etc) via OID

Oracle Internet Directory Steps to Configure Create an Authorization Scheme based on a PL/SQL Function Returning BOOLEAN Associate the Authorization Scheme with a page or page component in HTML DB Sample function call: return wwv_flow_ldap.is_member (:APP_USER, null, 'cn=users, dc=somedomain, dc=com', 'oidserver.somedomain.com', '389', 'SAMPLE_APP_ADMINS', 'cn=Groups, dc=somedomain, dc=com');
