Audience

Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide is intended for the following users:

• Administrators charged with configuring and managing authentication to OracleAS.

• Developers of features for which OracleAS Single Sign-On is the authentication mechanism. The book is particularly for those who want to integrate these features with mod_osso, an authentication module on the Oracle HTTP Server.

• Anyone who wants to understand how to use OracleAS Single Sign-On to protect access to Web applications.

This document assumes that the reader has a rudimentary knowledge of OracleAS and has installed, or is able to install, release 10.1.2.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
