Introduction

Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On is a component of Oracle9i Application Server (iAS) that enables users to log in to all features of the iAS product complement, as well as to other Web applications, using a single user name and password.

In Oracle9iAS, Release 2, application developers can use either mod_osso, an Oracle HTTP authentication module, or the Single Sign-On Software Development Kit (SDK) to enable applications for Single Sign-On. This chapter introduces these two authentication options. The remainder of the book explains how to integrate applications with mod_osso and with the SDK.

The chapter covers the following topics:

What Is Mod_osso?

Mod_osso is an HTTP module that provides authentication to iAS applications. It is a simpler alternative to the Single Sign-On SDK, used in earlier releases of Oracle Single Sign-On to integrate partner applications. Mod_osso simplifies the authentication process by serving as the sole partner application to the Single Sign-On server, rendering authentication transparent for iAS applications. Thus, the administrator for these applications is spared the burden of integrating them with the Single Sign-On SDK.

Mod_osso can be registered with the Single Sign-On server when iAS is installed.

What's in the Single Sign-On SDK?

The Single Sign-On SDK consists of the following components:
