2 Options and Packs

This chapter describes the separately licensed Oracle Application Server 10g options, management packs, and other products you can purchase to enhance the capabilities of Oracle Application Server 10g in specific application environments. This chapter contains the following sections:

You may not use the options, packs, or products described below without separately purchased licenses. The fact that these options, packs, or products may be included in product CDs or downloads or described in documentation that you receive does not authorize you to use them without purchasing appropriate licenses.

Oracle Application Server Options

Currently, Oracle Application Server 10g has only one option, the Identity Management Option. The Identity Management Option can be purchased with Oracle Application Server Standard Edition. Oracle Identity Management is included with Oracle Application Server Enterprise Edition.

Oracle Identity Management

Oracle Identity Management is an integrated infrastructure that provides distributed security services for Oracle products and the enterprise. The Oracle Identity Management Infrastructure includes the following components:

  • Oracle Internet Directory, an LDAP compliant directory service implemented on the Oracle9i Database.

  • Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning, part of Oracle Internet Directory, which permits synchronization between Oracle Internet Directory and other directories, user repositories, automatic provisioning services, and applications.

  • Oracle Delegated Administration Services, part of Oracle Internet Directory, which provides trusted proxy-based administration of directory information by users and application administrators.

  • Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On, which provides single sign-on access to Oracle and third-party Web applications.

  • Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority, which generates and publishes X.509 certificates to support PKI-based (strong) authentication methods.

Oracle Management Packs for Oracle Application Server

The sections that follow describe the two Oracle Management Packs for Oracle Application Server: the Oracle Application Server Diagnostics Pack and the Oracle Application Server Configuration Management Pack. The management packs can be purchased with any of the Oracle Application Server editions.

The features in the two management packs are accessible through Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control. All Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control functionality is free with any of the Oracle Application Server editions.
