Once you have a data source that stores a connection to your LDAP server, you have to create an authentication scheme for PPM. An authentication scheme is a named component that defines the challenge mechanism that is required to authenticate a user. For example, the authentication scheme determines if you will use form based authentication, basic authentication, Windows Native Authentication, and so on.
To create a new authentication scheme, follow the instructions in the Managing Authentication Schemes section of the Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management.
If you already have an authentication scheme, you can use it as a template to provide form based authentication for your applications.
To duplicate an authentication scheme:
- Log in to the Oracle Access Manager Administration Console.
- Navigate to the Application Security tab.
- Under Access Manager, click on Authentication Schemes.
- Click on LDAP Scheme.
- Click on the
Duplicate icon. - In the Authentication Schemes dialog box, complete the following:
Note: When you duplicate an existing authentication scheme and are use it as a template for your Primavera applications, many of the fields in the Authentication Scheme dialog box will be prepopulated. You do not need to alter the following fields:
- Description
- Authentication Level
- Default
- Challenge Method
- Challenge Redirect URL
- Challenge URL
- Context Type
- Context Value
- Challenge Parameters
- In the Name field, enter a name for your authentication scheme.
- In the Authentication Module field, select the authentication module that you created for your LDAP data source.
- Click Apply to create the new authentication scheme.
