Oracle Secure Search Initiative
Overview
The Oracle Secure Search Initiative (OSSI) provides guidelines and training for SIs and ISVs to write secure connectors to Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) and to develop usability modules on top of SES, including, for example, entity extraction, categorization and visualization modules.
Designed to make it easy for Oracle partners to build extensibility and usability features on top of SES, the Secure Search Initiative offers 3 types of extensibility technologies:
- Secure federation
- Secure crawl
- Real-time suggested content
Through the Secure Search Initiative, partners can build crawlers to access any enterprise information sources and develop usability features.

Participation in OSSI
Once you have determined that you'd like to develop extensibility and usability features on top of SES, following are the next steps:
- Development
Guidelines to build secure connectors to outside data sources and develop usability modules with SES are available to all Oracle PartnerNetwork members. You may download them by clicking on the links below. With these resources, you will be guided through the steps required to build your product and ensure that it complies with Oracle's connectivity and security framework.
- Solution Listing
Let Oracle know what you are building so that your company's connector or plug-in may be listed on Oracle Technology Network. To apply to list your solution on OTN, please follow the instructions on this form (DOC). Upon review to determine that your company's solution complies with the criteria for this program, your company's solution will be listed as stated in the form. Following is the criteria you must meet prior to applying for a listing on OTN:
- You must be an Oracle PartnerNetwork member in good standing;

- You must link from your solution page on your company's website to the OSES page on www.oracle.com
- You must complete the application form (DOC) and be accepted based on the above criteria.
You will be solely responsible for distributing your solution to end users and for providing technical support for your solution to your end users. Oracle will not distribute any partner solutions to end users and Oracle will not provide technical support for any partner solutions. Questions received from end users regarding your solution will be referred to you.
