An Oracle Security Service Module (SSM) integrates a secured application (in this case, the
Enterprise Gateway) with an Oracle Entitlements Server (OES) so that security administration (for
example, roles, resources, and policies) is delegated to the Oracle Entitlements Server. An
SSM must be installed on the machine hosting the application to be secured by the Oracle
Entitlements Server. The SSM runs in-process with the secured application, which improves
performance and on-the-wire security.
In the Policy Studio, on the Services tab, you can right-click the Enterprise Gateway
process, and select Oracle -> Security Service Module (SSM) Settings
. The Oracle Security Service Module Settings dialog enables you to
configure the Enterprise Gateway to act as a Java SSM. For more details Oracle Entitlements Server and
SSMs, see the
Oracle Entitlements Server website.
Note:
Oracle Entitlements Server was previously known as BEA AquaLogic Enterprise
Security (ALES). Some items, such as schema objects, paths, and so on, may
still use the ALES name.
