You can deploy multiple single sign-on servers to improve availability. To learn more, see Chapter 9, "Advanced Configurations".
Release 9.0.2 added new authentication options and made it easier for applications to integrate with the single sign-on server. Server performance could be monitored. The following features made their debut:
This module on the Oracle HTTP Server is a simple alternative to the single sign-on SDK. To learn more, see Chapter 2, "Developing Applications Using mod_osso" in Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On Application Developer's Guide.
