SSL Enabling SSO: Testing; Fallback Authentication

If you configured the SSO server earlier to use the optional Fallback authentication, you can proceded with testing this option.

Fallback authentication will allow a user without a certificate to authenticate against your web applications using their Oracle AS user name and password instead of a user certificate.

Before we can test Fallback authentication it may be neccessary to remove any user certificate issued by OCA from your browser. If you have a valid certificate issued by OCA in your browser you will not be able to test Fallback authentication until you remove it because when you try to login, the SSO server will see that your browser has a valid certificate and will use it to authenticate you and you will not be redirected to the page which allows you to login using your user name and password.

Use the following procedure if you need to remove a user certificate issued by OCA. This procedure is specific to Mozilla and Netscape browsers.

From the "Edit" menu in your browser, select "Preferences".

When the "Preferences" window pops up, select "Privacy and Security" -> "Certificates".

Then click on the "Manage Certificates" button.

In the window that follows, click on the "Your Certificates" tab. In the list of certificates, find the certificate issued by OCA and delete it.

Once you have deleted any OCA user certificates you will be ready to test Fallback authentication.

Testing Fallback Authentication

In your browser, navigate to the following URL:

https://hostname.domain.com:4443/oiddas

Click on the "Login" link at the upper right corner of the page.

Since your browser does not have a valid certificate you should be directed to the SSO login page where you can enter your user name and password.

After entering your user name and password you should be immediately logged into the DAS application.

Watch a viewlet to see how its done.
