Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On provides a single point of validation for portal user credentials, and governs user access to intranet resources based on employee profiles. When a user logs into a portal page, the single signon server validates the user name and password against an internally maintained table of users. The single signon server also makes use of user profiles stored in Oracle Internet Directory (OID). For network encryption and authentication, Oracle Advanced Security provides a comprehensive suite of security services, including support for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The HTTP server module mod_ossl enables secure HTTPS connections between the HTTP server and the portal client.
