Oracle E-Business Suite 11i Requirement - Need to integrate new installation of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i with existing third-party single sign-on and user directory infrastructure Starting Environment • Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i has been newly installed using the Rapid Install Wizard. • Other than the default administrative accounts, no user accounts have been registered yet. • Oracle Portal is not implemented. • A third-party single sign-on solution such as Netegrity SiteMinder is in use as a corporate single sign-on solution. • A third-party LDAP directory such as SunONE/iPlanet is in use as a corporate user directory.
Oracle E-Business Suite 11i Solution • Oracle Application Server 10g (including Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Internet Directory) is needed for the integration. • Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Single Sign-On must be set up so that Oracle E-Business Suite delegates authentication to Oracle Single Sign-On, which in turn delegates the functionality to the third-party single sign-on server in use. • Oracle Internet Directory needs to be set up to synchronize a minimal set of information from the third-party LDAP directory for all users who will access Oracle E-Business Suite via single sign-on. • Oracle Internet Directory also needs to be set up to provision users in Oracle Internet Directory to Oracle E-Business Suite. Integrating E-Business Suite with Third-Party Single Sign-On and User Directory Existing users in the third-party LDAP directory can be bulk migrated into Oracle Internet Directory, and then bulk migrated into Oracle E-Business Suite. Optionally, user profile information in Oracle E-Business Suite can be kept synchronized with the information in the third-party LDAP directory.
