Administering the Portal: Single Sign-On

The main advantage to Single Sign-On is that it reduces or eliminates the necessity for users to enter multiple logins as they access multiple applications and multiple data sources. Credentials are stored in the Oracle Internet Directory (OID). The SSO Server ensures that a user only logs on once to access any of the partner or registered external applications as they move from one application to another.

To create a new user, you access the user manager in the Delegated Administration Service (DAS) of OID through Portal's User portlet. A minimal amount of information is required to create a user account: a username, an e-mail address, and a default password. Account information is stored in OID. You can also import account information from any LDAP directory into OID.
