16.1.2 External Application Changes

You can associate external applications with portlet producers. Oracle WebCenter Framework defines an external application as any application that implements its own authentication process. That is, an application that does not take part in the single sign-on process of Oracle WebCenter Framework. For more information, see the Working with External Applications section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle WebCenter. This section contains the following subsections: ■ Overview of External Applications Changes in Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g ■ External Application Upgrade Changes 16.1.2.1 Overview of External Applications Changes in Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Compared to Oracle Application Server 10g, in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, external applications have undergone some changes. In Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, external applications let you specify shared and public credentials. External applications also let you define an internal name that serves the purpose of external application identifier and cannot be changed after creation and a display name that can be changed. Another distinguishing feature is that in Oracle Application Server 10g, external applications use Metadata Services MDS to store metadata; in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, external applications are stored as connections similar to other services like content repository connections. Table 16–3 compares how the distinguishing attributes of external applications map between Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.x and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. The table shows sample values for the name, ExtAppId, and GUID attributes.
