Windows Native Authentication

The Oracle SSO server has a feature which enables Microsoft Internet Explorer users to automatically authenticate to their web applications using their desktop credentials.

This is known as Windows Native Authentication (a.k.a. Auto Sign-on).

When a user logs into their Windows desktop, a Kerberos session ticket is generated which contains among other things, the users login credentials. This Kerberos session ticket is not visible to the user. If Windows Native Authentication (WNA) has been configured on the Oracle SSO Server, users will be able to click on their web application and not be challenged for credentials. Instead, their Kerberos session ticket which includes their Windows desktop credentials will be passed through the browser to the Oracle SSO server. The SSO server will validate the credentials by checking them against the KDC server on the Windows domain server. If authentication succeeds the user will be granted access to their web applications automatically.

In this hands-on session we will show you how to configure Windows Native Authentication.
