Integrating Oracle Application Express with Oracle Access Manager 11g

Prerequisites 
The prerequisites for the solution given in this paper are:
• Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 or above
• Oracle Application Express 4.1.1 or above.
• Oracle Access Manager 11g

Oracle Forms Services applications can be executed in a Single Sign-on environment using Oracle Access Manager 11g (OAM) and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to eliminate the need for additional or different logins to access many applications during the same user session.

Oracle Forms Services applications in Oracle FMW 11g Release 2 can be protected by one of the following authentication servers:

• Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11g
• Oracle Single Sign-On Server (OSSO) 10g
