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 email 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 1.0.2.2.2 • 11i is certified with AS 10.1.2.0.2 • 11i integrates with a stand alone AS 10g • 11i’s application tier continues to run on 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2
R12 Integration with AS 10g • R12 comes with 2 AS 10g Oracle Homes • 10.1.2 for Forms and Reports Services • 10.1.3 for OC4J • For optional AS 10g components • SSO • OID • Portal • Discoverer
Avoid Being Desupported • Discoverer 4i has been desupported • About to be desupported • Portal 3.0.1 • OID 3.0.9 • 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 3rd Party SSO Services • Integrate with 3rd 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 • http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/alerts.htm • Best Practices for Securing EBS • Note: 189367.1 • Enabling Label Security • Note: 234599.1 • Using Transparent Data Encryption • Note: 403294.1
Log On with SSO • 11i delegates user authentication to SSO • If with 3rd Party SSO, Oracle SSO delegates authentication to the 3rd Party authentication system • Chain of Trust • End users successfully logged in with 3rd 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 3rd Party LDAP • EBS cannot use 3rd Party LDAP directly • EBS needs to be integrated with OID 10g • OID 10g may be integrated with 3rd Party LDAP 3/X.500 compliant directories • Unidirectional • EBS -> OID -> AD • AD -> OID -> EBS • Bidirectional
Portal • Portal 10.1.4 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
