Integrating Workbench with Oracle Commerce Single Sign-On

You can configure Workbench to authenticate users using Oracle Commerce Single Sign-On (SSO).

Before configuring Workbench integration with Commerce Single Sign-On, you must have a Commerce SSO server configured. For details, see the Oracle Commerce Platform-Guided Search Integration Guide.

Commerce SSO is provided as an alternative to third-party SSO solutions. It integrates authentication for Workbench and the ATG Business Control Center, allowing a user to switch between tools without encountering additional login screens.

To integrate Workbench with Commerce SSO:

  1. Navigate to your ToolsAndFrameworks\<version>\server\workspace\conf directory.

  2. Open webstudio.properties in a text editor.

  3. Locate the configuration titled # Commerce SSO Authentication.

  4. Set com.endeca.webstudio.useSSO to true: 

    # Commerce SSO Authentication
com.endeca.webstudio.useSSO=true

  5. Uncomment the following properties:

  6. Set the uncommented properties to their respective values.

    Property

    Value

    com.endeca.webstudio.sso.loginURL

    The URL of the Commerce SSO login servlet.

    com.endeca.webstudio.sso.keepAliveFrequency

    The time interval, in seconds, for which to send Keep Alive requests. This indicates that a session is active and should not time out.

    The session timeout limit is configured on the Commerce SSO server.

    For example: 

    # Commerce SSO Authentication
com.endeca.webstudio.useSSO=true
com.endeca.webstudio.sso.loginURL=http(s)://<SSO Host>:<SSO Port>/sso/login
com.endeca.webstudio.sso.keepAliveFrequency=1800

    Where the protocol is either http or https and <SSO Host> and <SSO Port> are the host machine and port, respectively, for the Commerce SSO server.

  7. Save and close the file.
