15.2 Out-of-the-Box Behavior

It is recommended that you specify information about Oracle Internet Directory while installing Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer.

If you specified Oracle Internet Directory information during the installation of Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), authentication based on Single Sign-On is enabled for both in-process servers and standalone servers. In addition, Portal-based security is enabled, so you can use Portal-based authorization if Portal is configured.

Note: If you did not specify Oracle Internet Directory information during the installation of Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), no authentication is enabled. Therefore, both in-process servers and standalone servers are not secure.
