23. 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

24. 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

29. 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

30. 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

35. 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

36. 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');
