Support of Longer User Names and Passwords

Out of the box, EnterpriseOne does not support more than 10 characters in a user name or password for sign-on. If you want to use more than 10 characters for a user name or password due to compliance issues for web users, you should use one of the following options:

  • Enable the Long User and Long Password features in EnterpriseOne to support long user IDs up to 254 characters in length and passwords up to 40 characters in length. For more information, see:

    Setting Up Long User IDs in EnterpriseOne

    Enabling Long Passwords in EnterpriseOne

  • Configure Oracle single sign-on or Collaborative Portal single sign-on with EnterpriseOne.

    In this solution, Oracle single sign-on server or Collaborative Portal is responsible for authenticating a longer user name and password. EnterpriseOne uses the single sign-on token to validate the user. You can configure the EnterpriseOne security server to use the same LDAP Server used by the single sign-on server. User mappings from longer user names to EnterpriseOne user names can be provided in LDAP Server. However, in this case, EnterpriseOne non-web users (such as Windows client and Java Connector users) will not be able to log in with more than 10 character user names and passwords. See Setting Up JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Single Sign-On for more information.

  • Configure Oracle Access Manager single sign-on with EnterpriseOne. (Requires additional license.)

    Using Oracle Access Manager, you can manage long user IDs and passwords in a single sign-on configuration with EnterpriseOne. This configuration does not change the behavior of existing EnterpriseOne user IDs, but it requires mapping EnterpriseOne users to the long IDs.
