• About the Integration with Oracle E-Buisiness Suite

9.1 About the Integration with Oracle E-Buisiness Suite

This integration enables single sign-on between Oracle Access Manager and Oracle e-Business Suite applications. It requires the following components:

• Configuring single sign-on between OracleAS Single Sign-On and Oracle Access Manager

• Configuring single sign-on between OracleAS Single Sign-On and Oracle e-Business Suite applications

Note that OracleAS Single Sign-On requires Oracle Internet Directory (OID) as its identity store. You can also use OID with Oracle Access Manager. See the Oracle Access Manager Installation Guide. However, you can configure OID for OracleAS Single Sign-On and use a different identity store for Oracle Access Manager. If different directories are used, you will need to ensure that the identities for Oracle e-Business Suite applications are kept in sync in the directories. There must be a unique identifier that can link a single user entry in both directories.

For information on integrating Oracle Access Manager and OracleAS Single Sign-On, see "Integrating with Oracle Application Servers".
