This presentation covers many of the topics that I visit regularly on this blog, neatly summarizing them in a single package with the latest Fusion Middleware certified versions (and desupport notices) in one place:
- Using Oracle Application Server 10g with E-Business Suite (Session S307958, PDF, 1.3 MB)
This presentation covers:
- A quick overview of the various Oracle Application Server
10g products that can be optionally integrated with the E-Business
Suite, including:
- Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Internet Directory
- Oracle Access Manager and Oracle Identity Manager
- Web Center and Portal
- Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and Discoverer
- Web Cache
- Oracle SOA Suite
- Oracle Enterprise Manager
- How Oracle Single Sign-On works with the E-Business Suite
- How EBS users can be managed using Oracle Internet Directory
-
How EBS can be integrated via Oracle Single Sign-On with third-party authentication systems such as:
- Windows Native Authentication via Kerberos
- Netegrity Siteminder
- IBM Tivoli Access Manager
- PKI X.509v3 Digital Certificates
-
How EBS can be integrated via Oracle Internet Directory with third-party LDAP directories such as:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- Sun Java System Directory
- Novell eDirectory
- OpenLDAP
I've covered all of these topics already on this blog, with articles discussing the conceptual topics as well as new certification announcements. See:

Hi Steven,
Thanks for posting the presentation, wish I could have been there to see it in person.
I have a question:
We are currently running R12 internally and it is hosted in-house. Phase 2 of our implementation includes exposing some CRM functionality (mostly iReceivables) to external users.
Our external applications are usually hosted with an external provider. Under that scenario, we would create another mid-tier for external use and locate it at the provider. I have some concerns about having the mid-tier and the EBS database tier in different locations (we are linked by a VPN tunnel).
Any advice on the subject?
Thanks,
Michel

Hi, Michel,
We generally recommend that EBS application tier servers be co-located in the same data center as the EBS database servers. I'd expect that your biggest concerns will be latency from the physical separation and VPN encryption overhead. You may also hit possible firewall configuration issues.
This boils down to careful testing and performance benchmarking. If your testing shows that performance is acceptable, then it'd suggest that you're good to go. Good luck with your testing!
Regards,
Steven
