Oracle E-Business Suite comes with native user authentication and management capabilities out-of-the-box. If you need more-advanced features, it’s also possible to integrate it with Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Single Sign-On or Oracle Access Manager, which allows you to link the E-Business Suite with third-party tools like Microsoft Active Directory, Windows Kerberos, and CA Netegrity SiteMinder.
For details about third-party integration architectures, see either of these article for EBS 11i and 12:
