This guide now points to information on Oracle HTTP Server.
Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is a Web server extension that identifies Oracle Access Manager Web components that communicate with the OHS.
This guide now points to information on Oracle Virtual Directory.
The Oracle Virtual Directory combines user data from multiple data sources to create an aggregated virtual directory.
You can configure single sign-on between the Access System and the OracleAS Single Sign-On server.
An older version of this chapter previously existed in the Oracle Access Manager Developer Guide. It provides updated information on configuring single sign-on between Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Application Server 10g (OracleAS 10g). When you configure single sign-on you also provide identity management functionality across the Web-based applications running on Oracle Application Servers, for example, Oracle e-Business Suite, Oracle Forms, Portals, and other Access System-protected resources. Included in this new version is information about the OHS WebGate (Apache WebGate information has been removed).
You can authorize users by querying external authentication systems.
This is known as federated authorization. When the Access System at a Service Provider site receives a request from a user in a federated environment, it may need to get additional information about the user from the user's Identity Provider. You can configure the Access System to query external Identity Providers for user authorization.

The SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 can now be protected by the Access System.
