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
• 11is 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

7
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

8
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

9
Access Management Goal

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

10
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

11
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

12
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

13
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

14
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

15
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 -gt OID -gt AD
• AD -gt OID -gt EBS
• Bidirectional

16
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

17
Why use Discoverer 10g?

• Automatic SQL Trimming
• Faster
• Memory Cap per user
• Installation upgrades 4i End-User Layer to 10g

18
Accelerate with WebCache

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

19
Other Benefits

• Deploy AS 10g to Provide Enterprise Services for
  Custom Applications
