Single Sign-on Options for Smart View

Although Oracle Smart View for Office is a thick client and not a browser, it connects to server components using HTTP and behaves much like a browser from a system perspective. Smart View supports all standard web-based integration methods that browser interfaces support. However, some limitations exist:

  • If Smart View is launched from an existing browser session that is connected to an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System component, users must sign into Smart View again, because it does not share the cookie from the existing session.

  • If you are using a custom HTML based login form instead of the default Oracle Access Manager login form, ensure that the source of the custom form includes the string loginform. This is required to allow Smart View integration with Oracle Access Manager to work.
