JDev/ADF sample - Automated Single Sign-On through WebCenter PS3 External Application Connection

  • Automated Single Sign-On through WebCenter PS3 External Application Connection. Every company maintains multiple Web applications, internal or external. In order to make these applications to work together, usually we need to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for authentication. Typically, this can be very costly and requires advanced configurations. If you are building portal solution with WebCenter PS3, you may avoid complexity by leveraging External Application Connection feature. Read more about this feature from WebCenter Developer and Administration guides - 63.13 Working with External Applications and 25 Managing External Applications. As you can read from developer guide, automated SSO feature is supported for J2EE security container login method j_security_check for authentication. We did several tests with third-party Struts application, where custom made security check was implemented. It also works well, I will share our test results with you in this post.
