The Oracle Commerce Platform supports the use of Oracle Access Management (OAM), which is a component of Oracle Identity Management (OIM). This enables you to configure user access to the Business Control Center through user names and passwords that are authenticated using the Single Sign On (SSO) feature of OAM. If you are using OAM SSO, all user authentication to the Business Control Center is performed by OAM. For information on using OAM, refer to your OAM documentation and to the Using Oracle Access Management for Single Sign On section of the Platform Installation and Configuration Guide.
