The ATG Business Control Center and the Oracle Endeca Commerce Workbench are both used for managing content and its presentation on sites built with the integration of Oracle ATG Web Commerce and Oracle Endeca Commerce. To simplify working in both environments, ATG-Endeca integration includes the Commerce Single Sign-On (SSO) feature. Commerce Single Sign-On ensures that when a user logs into either the Business Control Center or the Workbench, that user is automatically also logged into the other environment. Logging out of one environment automatically logs the user out of the other one as well.
Commerce SSO consists of three pieces:
An ATG Commerce SSO server instance that is responsible for managing the SSO sessions shared by the Business Control Center and the Workbench.
An ATG plug-in that is responsible for communication between the Business Control Center and the SSO server.
An Endeca plug-in that is responsible for communication between the Workbench and the SSO server.
The Endeca plug-in is discussed in the Oracle Endeca Commerce Administrator. This chapter discusses the SSO server and the ATG plug-in, and includes the following sections:
