How to administer OracleAS Single Sign-On Server
(Administering Single Sign-On Server)


List the components of the OracleAS Single Sign-On:

- SSO server
- Partner application
- External application
- mod_osso

How to increase the SSO server session duration:
Open your browser window, and open the Oracle SSO server home page by typing the following link:
http://myapp.myhost.com:<port>/pls/orasso

Then click on the login link.
In the �Sign In� page, enter the username orcladmin with its password, and click Login.
Then, click on the �SSO Server Administration� link. On the new page, click the �Edit SSO Server Configuration� link.

On the �Edit SSO Server� page, change the �Single Sign-On session duration� value. In this page, you can also indicate whether the SSO Server should do IP address verification.

How to stop or start the SSO server by using the Application Server Control:
To start or stop the SSO server, open a browser window and then open your Application Server Control by using the following URL.
http://myapp.myhost.com:<port>
http://myapp.myhost.com:1810 (default port application server control port.)

In the �Standalone Instance� section, click the link for the infrastructure instance. In this page, you will see various components of the server such as HTTP_Server, OC4J_SECURITY, oca, OID, Single Sign-On:orasso, and Management instances.
It lists above various components with their status. Select the check boxes next to HTTP_Server and OC4J_SECURITY to stop, start, or restart. Then click Yes when prompted for confirmation. This will start, stop, or restart the HTTP server and OC4J Security components, and thus the SSO server.

In this screen, you can Enable/Disable Components, Configure Component, Create OC4J instance, Start, Stop, Restart, or Delete OC4J Instance.

To add an external application to the SSO server:
Click on the �Administer External Applications� link instead of the �Edit SSO Server Configuration� link. This will allow you to create or edit configuration information for external applications. External applications are web-based applications that perform their own user name/password authentication through HTML login forms. The SSO Server will login to these applications on behalf of the user.

In the �Administer External Applications� page, you can add, edit or delete an external application. Click on the �Add External Application� link.

In the �Create External Application� page, scroll down to the External Application Login section, and enter the details. For example you may enter:

Application Name: myhost
Login URL: http://login.myhost.com
User Name/ID Field name: login
Password Field Name: passwd

To find the exact User Name/ID and Password fields, view the source html code.

Al last, in the �Authentication Method� section, select �POST� from the list and the click OK to create your external application.

Notice that the �Administer External Application� page will display your new external application myhost!

How to monitor the OracleAS SSO server (Monitoring the SSO server)
To view the OracleAS SSO server monitoring pages, open a browser window, and then open your Application Server Control. Go to the Infrastructure Instance home page and click on the �Single Sign-On:orasso� link in the �System Components� page.

In the �SSO Server Monitoring� page, you will see the login details for the last 24 hours. It displays the success and failure percentages, and the logins that failed in last 24 hours with their count.
