OAM 11g is certified with EBS 12

Oracle Access Manager 11gR1 (11.1.1.3) is now certified for use with E-Business Suite Releases 12.0.6 and 12.1.1 and above.
Here are the details Integration Certification Details.

Impersonation feature is not available in OAM 11g WebGates

If you are using .Net based applications to be protected by OAM 10g, you can certainly do it with IIS WebGates without custom coding/filters. This can be achieved using Impersonation feature in OAM 10g WebGates. However if you are using OAM 11g WebGate, impersonation feature is not available/supported.
In this case, the best way to approach is to use 10g WebGate with OAM 11g. I have read a beautiful post here on the same.

Attended a session on Oracle Entitlement Server 11g

Further to previous posts on OES 11g, I had attended a session today given by Oracle Product Manager. Some of the key points that I would like to outline are:
  1. OES 11g can be integrated with OAM 11g out of the box and is certified - this is very good news. In previous versions of OAM and OES, we used custom approach by using specific Authentication schemes in applications protected by OES etc., It was not pretty straight forward.
  2. OES 11g provides very good authorization security for Oracle Database. In future we can expect that Database comes up with OES by default.
  3. OES 11g can be implemented in Cloud Security which is the hot requirement for most of the customers now.
  4. OES 11g is certified with OID 11g. 
  5. There is no direct integration of OES 11g with either OAAM 11g or OIF 11g. However it can be implemented using customization.
  6. Auditing and Reporting has been enhanced.
  7. OES 11g Admin consoles are Web UI consoles.
  8. OES 11g can be used for multi-tenancy. Future releases directly supports multi-tenancy.
  9. Future releases of OES 11g (probably by end of 2011) we may expect this product to integrate with SOA and Fusion Middleware products out of the box.
 This is it for today!!

Oracle Identity Manager Performance tips

I have read a post on Oracle Identity Manager performance tips here. This post talks about various factors where tuning has to be applied with respect to OIM. In addition, it is always good to tune the application server where OIM is deployed as a web application.

OAM 11g integration with OBIEE 10g for Single Sign-On

I have already done a detailed write up on Oracle Access Manager 10g integration with OBIEE 10g for Single Sign-On here.
I have read another post here that has detailed description about Oracle Access Manager 11g integration with OBIEE 10g.  That was pretty good!!

In fact I could not notice much difference with the integration steps with OAM 10g and OAM 11g.

OES 11g is launched

Much awaiting product Oracle Entitlement Server 11g is launched by Oracle. I am going to attend a Web Session on OES 11g. I will keep updated with the findings soon.

OES 11g Installs and documentation links are provided in this post
