Increasingly, companies are moving their information infrastructure online. Often, each user must maintain a separate user name and password for each application they access. Maintaining multiple accounts and passwords for each user is expensive, insecure, and most of all, impractical.
Oracle Forms can use the authentication services provided by the Single Sign-On Server (mod_osso) included with Oracle Application Server, which is integrated with the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and is LDAP-compatible. Using Single Sign-On eliminates the need for users to remember multiple passwords because they only have to log in once. No additional coding is required in your Forms application modules.
