Learn About the Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter

The Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter is a lightweight Java application. It helps businesses simplify the deployment topology for Oracle E-Business Suite single sign-on (SSO) by replacing Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Internet Directory.
You can use the E-Business Suite Asserter when you want to:
  • Have your Oracle E-Business Suite working in SSO with other applications
  • Enhance security to access your Oracle E-Business Suite by enabling Oracle Identity Cloud Service security features such as multi-factor authentication, sign-on policies, account recovery, and adaptive security

You can deploy the E-Business Suite Asserter in Oracle WebLogic Server 12c by using secure communications such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The E-Business Suite Asserter provides the following benefits:
  • Multiple access modes for SSO with Oracle E-Business Suite: You can access Oracle E-Business Suite by using one of the following modes:
    • The E-Business Suite Asserter direct URL (bookmark)
    • The Oracle Identity Cloud Service My Apps page
    • The E-Business Suite Asserter direct URL with a redirect parameter
    • Previously bookmarked Oracle E-Business Suite URLs
  • Supports log out from multiple points including Oracle E-Business Suite, E-Business Suite Asserter, and Oracle Identity Cloud Service

Considerations for Using the E-Business Suite Asserter

To use the E-Business Suite Asserter, you should understand the following considerations for installation and configuration.

  • The host names for the E-Business Suite Asserter application server and the Oracle E-Business Suite application server must belong to the same domain for SSO to work.

  • The E-Business Suite Asserter must be accessed over SSL, since Oracle Identity Cloud Service can only be accessed over SSL. Failure to do so may cause SSO between Oracle Identity Cloud Service and the E-Business Suite Asserter to fail.

  • Synchronize the server clock where the E-Business Suite Asserter runs, and the server clock where Oracle E-Business Suite runs.

  • You can deploy the asserter in Oracle WebLogic Server 12c by using secure communications such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
