Can E-Business Suite Release 12 be integrated with third-party authentication systems?
Yes. E-Business Suite Release 12 environments may be integrated with Oracle Single Sign-On 10g. Oracle Single Sign-On 10g may be integrated, in turn, with third-party authentication systems. In this configuration, the E-Business Suite delegates user authentication to Oracle Single Sign-On 10g. Oracle Single Sign-On 10g, in turn, delegates user authentication to the third-party authentication system. A chain of trust is established between all three systems. End-users who have successfully logged on to the third-party authentication system are recognized by the E-Business Suite and Oracle Single Sign-On 10g as trusted users, and are redirected to the requested E-Business Suite functionality without having to log in again. Examples of third-party authentication system integrations include: • Microsoft Kerberos (Windows Native Authentication) • CA Netegrity SiteMinder • IBM Tivoli Access Manager • Smart-card and Common Access Card (CAC) systems For information on integrating Oracle Single
