1.1 About Oracle Access Manager Integrations

Integrating Oracle Access Manager 10.1.4 with other applications and portals requires some knowledge of both products. This guide provides the details you need to successfully set up Oracle Access Manager for specific applications and portals you can integrate with Oracle Access Manager.

1.1.1 Integrations With Other Oracle Products

The following integrations with other Oracle products are described in this guide:

Oracle HTTP Server: Oracle HTTP Server provides key infrastructure for serving the Internet's HTTP protocol. Oracle HTTP Server is used to return responses for both process-to-process and human-generated requests from browsers. Oracle HTTP Server serves both static and dynamic content and integrates with both Oracle and non-Oracle products. See "Integrating Oracle HTTP Server" for details.
Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD): This product combines user data from multiple data sources to create an aggregated virtual directory. The virtual directory looks and behaves like any other LDAP directory, and the user does not know that the data has come from heterogeneous sources. See "Integrating the Oracle Virtual Directory" for details.
OracleAS Web Cache: Oracle Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.3) provides support for integration with OracleAS Web Cache. OracleAS Web Cache is a reverse proxy cache and compression engine that is deployed between the browser and the Oracle Access Manager WebGate Web server. This configuration provides the following Oracle Access Manager functionality: POST data restoration and cookieless support. See "Integrating OracleAS Web Cache".
OracleAS Single Sign-On 10g, OC4J: Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (also referred to as OracleAS Single Sign-On) enables you to use a single user name, password, and optionally a realm ID to log in to all features of the Oracle Application Server and also to other Web applications. You can enable single sign-on between resources protected by Oracle Access Manager and OracleAS Single Sign-On. See "Integrating with Oracle Application Server 10g: OC4J" for details.
