New Features for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g
Release 10.1.8 of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g -- the enterprise search engine that gives users rapid access to enterprise information while enforcing corporate security policies -- introduces significant new features including support for a broad range of popular third-party data sources, integration with Oracle Applications, support for third-party directory servers, and a federated search feature.
Now, in addition to searching Oracle sources such as the Oracle Database, Oracle Portal, Oracle Content Database, and Oracle Applications, this new release also offers support for non-Oracle information sources such as EMC Documentum Content Server DocBases, FileNet Content Engine object stores, IBM Lotus Notes databases, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Sharepoint, and Open Text's Livelink ECM, among others.
To further extend the reach of Oracle Enterprise Search 10g, Oracle has launched a partner program, Oracle Secure Search Initiative, in which Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and System Integrators deliver an even broader set of connectors that enable Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g to support non-Oracle information sources such as user desktops and business intelligence repositories.
Extending Value of Oracle Applications
To enable Oracle Applications users to easily, quickly and securely track down information within applications and across enterprise data, Oracle Applications will include embedded Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g. This will enable users to search across application business objects and content from a wide range of enterprise data sources.
Identity Management and Federated Search
This release also introduces a new, extensible authentication, identity management and authorization framework that supports third-party identity management directories such as Microsoft Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, Sun Java System Directory Server, and OpenLDAP, while also enabling support for the unique authentication and authorization scheme of any enterprise information source through "plug-ins" delivered with the product.
A new Suggested Link feature works within a federation framework to enable search requests from one Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g instance to be federated to other instances present in the enterprise. This feature is also compatible with Google OneBox and supports any Google OneBox provider application.
Product Availability
The production version of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g Release 10.1.8 is available today for Linux, Windows, and UNIX platforms.
