| Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On provides a single point of validation for portal user credentials, and governs user access to intranet resources based on employee profiles.
When a user logs into a portal page, the single sign-on server validates the user name and password against an internally-maintained table of users. The single sign-on server also makes use of user profiles stored in Oracle Internet Directory (OID).
For network encryption and authentication, Oracle Application Server provides a comprehensive suite of security services, including support for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The HTTP Server module mod_ossl enables secure HTTPS connections between the HTTP server and the portal client.
