Single Sign-On Accounts

System administrators can create a user account that allows you to log in to Oracle Argus Insight, as well as other Oracle Argus Safety applications, using the same user name and password. This type of account is a single sign-on account, or SSO account.

For single sign-on accounts, note that:

• A user's login authentication is done by a centralized authentication system. Therefore, users do not need to enter their login credentials for each application they access, every single time. Cognos uses the Power Reports namespace.
• The system administrator defines access to the modules in User Maintenance. If you are assigned to more than one group, the system grants you the highest access level.
  • Based on your access rights to modules, the system enables or disables the application buttons access rights in the menus.
  • Group access permissions are assigned in web administration.
• If you have access to Oracle Argus Safety or Oracle Argus Insight, you can start the application modules.
• In User Maintenance, the system administrator can link the Oracle Argus Safety database and the Oracle Argus Insight data mart. When you log in, the system identifies the available application modules for each Oracle Argus Safety instance.
• When you click the application module, the system opens a new window where you can work on the other application (Oracle Argus Insight or Oracle Argus Safety).
• When you start another application through Oracle Argus Safety, or vice versa, the application module buttons do not appear in the new windows because you are already logged in to the earlier application.
• The initial login screen is the starting dialog box for all the other modules.
• Logout is available only on the parent application dialog box. Logging out of the parent application dialog box closes all child dialog boxes without saving information in the child applications.
• Oracle Argus Insight Session Timeout

  You can now configure a value for session expiry time in Oracle Argus Safety, based on which the idle session for the configured time is handled. When Single Sign On or Load Balancer is enabled in Oracle Argus Safety and Oracle Argus Insight, Oracle Argus Insight extends the session timeout in Oracle Argus Safety, and you may continue the work.

  If both Oracle Argus Safety and Oracle Argus Insight are idle for the configured time, a warning message appears in Oracle Argus Safety stating whether you want to continue the work or not. If you do not click on Continue, the session expires, and Oracle Argus Insight is closed.

  However, when Argus Insight > Medical Review screen is opened through Oracle Argus Safety, Oracle Argus Safety treats this time as idle and a warning message appears.

  If the Medical Review screen is left idle as well, then two separate dialog boxes appears for both Oracle Argus Safety and Argus Insight > Medical Review screen.
