I’m very pleased to announce that Oracle Identity Management 10.1.4 has been certified for use with E-Business Suite Release 11i.

Apps 11i + OracleAS 10g Architecture:

Like earlier certifications with OracleAS 10g 10.1.2.0.2, this certification allows you to delegate authentication of E-Business Suite Release 11i users to an external Oracle Identity Management 10g 10.1.4.0.1 instance.  Users are authenticated by Single Sign-On 10g 10.1.4.0.1, and user information can be managed in Oracle Internet Directory 10g 10.1.4.0.1.

Integration with Third-Party Identity Management Systems

You can also integrate this configuration with a third-party authentication manager such as Microsoft Kerberos, and third-party LDAP directories such as Microsoft Active Directory, in an architecture like this:

Upgrading OracleAS 10g Instances Already Integrated with Apps 11i

If you already have an E-Business Suite Release 11i environment that has been successfully integrated with Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2, Single Sign-On 10g 10.1.2.0.2, and Oracle Internet Directory 10g 10.1.2.0.2, you’ll likely be relieved to hear that you can upgrade your Oracle Application Server 10g instance to 10.1.4.0.1 without having to refresh or change your existing provisioning or partner application registrations.  No new Apps interoperability patches are required.  In other words, you can simply upgrade your external OracleAS 10g 10.1.2.0.2 instance to 10.1.4 without changing anything on the Apps side.
