3.4.1 Understanding Renaming the Default Local Node and Configuring Password Authentication

PeopleSoft Single Sign-On and PeopleSoft Integration Broker (messaging) use the same default local node. Each application database is delivered with a default local node that uses the naming convention PSFT_XX, where XX is the database identifier. For your system to distinguish between multiple copies of the same database, the default local node can be renamed to reference the given instance of the PeopleSoft database. Oracle recommends that you use the database name when renaming the default local node.

For Single Sign-On to work, you must configure password authentication for the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions default local node in the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions and content provider databases. The password can be any combination of characters, numbers, or symbols, as long as the password is the same on the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions and content provider databases for the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions default local node.

Message nodes that are actively in use (containing queued messages) cannot be renamed until the message queues are cleared.
