Using AS 10g with EBS What are the Benefits of Integrating AS 10g with Oracle Applications?

Introduction Presenter DataRoad Zanett Housekeeping –Cell Phones –Q & A Send me an for a copy

Agenda Overview - Integration of Oracle Apps with AS 10g Avoid Being Desupported Security and Identity Management Portal Discoverer Web Cache

11i Integration with AS 10g 11i comes with 9iAS i is certified with AS i integrates with a stand alone AS 10g 11i’s application tier continues to run on 9iAS

Architecture of 11i/AS 10g

R12 Integration with AS 10g R12 comes with 2 AS 10g Oracle Homes – for Forms and Reports Services – for OC4J For optional AS 10g components –SSO –OID –Portal –Discoverer

Avoid Being Desupported Discoverer 4i has been desupported About to be desupported –Portal –OID –Login Server 3.0.9

Access Management “Nightmare” New employee requires the creation of multiple accounts in different applications Disabling a user requires disabling numerous accounts If user forgets password, then multiple resets are needed Maintaining multiple password policy

Access Management Goal Consolidated Enterprise Authentication Centralized Password Policy Simplify User Management Happy Users with seamless authenticaion with Single Sign-on

Security and Id Management Log on with SSO Log off all applications at once Manage user credentials in Oracle Apps Manage user credentials in OID Synchronize users between OID and Apps

Cont… Integrate with 3 rd Party SSO Services Integrate with 3 rd Party LDAP Associate OID accounts with Apps Integrate a Central SSO with multiple Apps Systems Password reset is centralized

Security Documentations CPU and Security Alerts – Best Practices for Securing EBS –Note: Enabling Label Security –Note: Using Transparent Data Encryption –Note:

Log On with SSO 11i delegates user authentication to SSO If with 3 rd Party SSO, Oracle SSO delegates authentication to the 3 rd Party authentication system Chain of Trust –End users successfully logged in with 3 rd Party authentication system are recognized by EBS and Oracle SSO

Oracle Internet Directory OID Groups cannot be mapped to EBS responsibilities Passwords are not synchronized between EBS and OID EBS uses passwords stored in OID Users created in OID will be automatically added into EBS with APPS_OID_SSO_IDENTITY enabled

Use of 3 rd Party LDAP EBS cannot use 3 rd Party LDAP directly EBS needs to be integrated with OID 10g OID 10g may be integrated with 3 rd Party LDAP 3/X.500 compliant directories Unidirectional –EBS -> OID -> AD –AD -> OID -> EBS Bidirectional

Portal Portal is certified Integrate Portal with multiple EBS via OA Framework Web Provider Integration Add EBS portlets to custom portal pages Display data in 11i portlets based on 11i responsibilities

Why use Discoverer 10g? Automatic SQL Trimming Faster Memory Cap per user Installation upgrades 4i End-User Layer to 10g

Accelerate with WebCache Accelerate EBS responsiveness with WebCache Cache and compressed frequently used items Can act as proxy server or load-balancer

Other Benefits Deploy AS 10g to Provide Enterprise Services for Custom Applications
