Desupport NoticesOr, “Why You Should Plan for OracleAS 10g Now”

• Discoverer 4i October 2006

• Login Server 3.0.9• Portal 3.0.9 July 2007• Oracle Internet Directory 3.0.1

For more details:http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/desupport

However…

Sun JDK 1.3 is the required prerequisite for 3.0.9. Sun desupported 1.3 in Dec 2006, so Sun’s desupport date overrides Oracle’s for these products.

1. Enable Single Sign-On for 11i2. Manage users in Oracle Internet Directory3. Access 11i via custom Portals4. Integrate 11i with third-party PKI, SSO & LDAP

directories, and legacy applications5. Analyse 11i with Discoverer workbooks6. Analyse 11i with Fusion Intelligence7. Accelerate 11i performance with WebCache

Enable Single Sign-On for 11i

• E-Business Suite is a Single Sign-On partner application • Log on to Oracle Single Sign-On to get access to all registered partner

applications, including 11i• Log off any one partner application to log off all of them

E-Business Suite 11i Application Server

Manage Users in Oracle Internet Directory

• Synchronise user credentials bidirectionally between Oracle Internet Directory and Release 11i (FND_USER)

• Set master “source of truth” as OID, Release 11i, or both• Manage user provisioning via powerful OID Directory Integration &

Provisioning (DIP) templates• Link an OID userid with one or more 11i userids “on-the-fly”

Why Upgrade Discoverer 4i to 10g?

It’s better• Automatic SQL trimming, per user

memory caps, faster, new features

It’s safe• Installation upgrades a copy of 4i

End-User Layer to 10g

It’s low-impact• TIP: Run Discoverer 4i and 10g on

different physical servers to avoid Visibroker conflicts

• Compare 4i and 10g workbooks side-by-side for User Acceptance Tests

It’s free• Your existing Business Intelligence

product license includes 10g

It’s necessary• Discoverer 4i is desupported on

How Single Sign-On Works with 11i

• Step 1: Unauthenticated user attempts to access the E-Business Suite

• Step 2: E-Business Suite redirects user to Single Sign-On 10g for authentication

User SingleSign-On 10g

• Step 3: Single Sign-On challenges the user with a logon form

LogonForm

• Step 4: User provides her credentials via the logon form

SingleSign-On 10g

• Step 5: Single Sign-On passes user credentials to Oracle Internet Directory for validation

SingleSign-On10g

• Step 6: Oracle Internet Directory authenticates the user credentials against the OracleAS 10g LDAP Directory (in the OracleAS 10g Metadata Repository)

OracleAS 10gLDAP Directory

• Step 7: Single Sign-On provides the authenticated user with a security token

• Step 8: User is redirected to E-Business Suite, which accepts the SSO security token as proof of an authenticated user

• Step 9: E-Business Suite’s application server checks the user’s authorization (i.e Apps responsibilities) in FND_USER

• Step 10: E-Business Suite issues its own Apps security tokens to the user, redirecting her to the requested Apps module

Oracle Internet Directory Integration

• Oracle Internet Directory and FND_USER must be kept synchronised• Supported synchronisation directions:

• From OID to FND_USER (Asynchronous via the Directory Integration & Provisioning Platform)

• From FND_USER to OID (Synchronous via dbms_ldap calls)• Bidirectionally

• Synchronisation events are raised via the Workflow-based Business Event System whenever users are added or modified

• Optional: can be done by end-user on first logon (“Link on the fly”)

• Useful for situations where existing accounts in Oracle Internet Directory 10g or a third-party LDAP directory differ from existing accounts in Release 11i.

Link to Multiple 11i Accounts

• Note: It’s not possible to link multiple OID accounts to the same 11i account

Portal Integration

• Single Sign-On is a prerequisite for Portal

• Oracle Applications Framework Web Provider is registered in Portal 10g

• 11i Portlets communicate with 11i 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2 server:

• Oracle Applications Framework Web Provider

• JPDK 3.0.9

• 11i portlets are added to custom Portal pages• 11i portlet users must have a valid 11i responsibility, validated via ICX_SESSION

Discoverer Integration

• Discoverer 10g End-User Layer resides in 11i database• APPS_MODE option enforces Applications security for all Discoverer

users• Discoverer 10g Server is often deployed standalone for performance

DiscovererServer 10g

User DiscovererEnd-User Layer forE-Business Suite

Full Discoverer 10g Support for Single Sign-On

• Earlier versions of Discoverer 10g did not support Single Sign-On & Oracle Internet Directory integration for E-Business Suite users

• Full SSO/OID support is now available

• No more dual-maintenance of E-Business Suite user passwords in both FND_USER and OID for standalone Discoverer connections

• See Metalink Note 313418.1 for details

Accelerate 11i Performance with WebCache

• Frequently used items (e.g. images, static text) are cached, compressed, and served by WebCache

• Secured data (I.e. requiring authorization) is not cached• Partial page refresh supported for Portal• Can act as a reverse-proxy server• Can act as a load-balancer

Passwords Stored in Third-Party LDAP

• Third-party LDAP:• Handles user authentication, usually with a third-party authentication

solution• Commonly considered “Master” source-of-truth

• Oracle Internet Directory and E-Business Suite take minimal copies of master user definition -- excluding passwords

• E-Business Suite doesn’t maintain user passwords in this configuration

How Third-Party Logons Work with 11i

• Step 1. User provides userid & password to third-party single sign-on system

• Step 2. Third-party single sign-on sends user’s credentials to third-party LDAP for authentication
