ssoErrorURL ssoCancelUrl Enabling OracleAS Single Sign-On for an Application

9-8 Forms Services Deployment Guide Allowing dynamic resource creation simplifies Oracle Internet Directory administration because there is no longer the need for an administrator to create user RAD information in advance. The ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter can be set as a system parameter in the formsweb.cfg file or as a parameter of a named configuration. Because the default is set to true, this parameter may be used in a named configuration for a specific application to handle a missing RAD entry differently from the default. Note that enabling an application for single sign-on with the value of the ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter set to false, while not specifying a value for the ssoErrorURL, causes Oracle Forms to show an error message if no RAD resource exists for the authenticated user and this application. Since not all administrators want their users to create resources for themselves and potentially raising issues with Oracle Internet Directory, these parameters allow administrators to control Oracle Internet Directory resource creation. Although the default behavior is to direct users to an HTML form that allows them to create the resource, the administrator can change the setting and redirect the user to a custom URL. For the configuration section for the Forms application, you need to set these parameters: [myApp] form=myFmx ssoMode=true ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false For information about setting these parameters through Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, see Section 4.2.4, Managing Parameters .

9.4.4 ssoErrorURL

The ssoErrorURL parameter allows an administrator to specify a redirection URL that handles the case where a user RAD entry is missing for a particular application. This parameter only has effect if the ssoDynamicResourceCreate parameter is set to false, which disables the dynamic resource creation behavior. The ssoErrorURL parameter can be defined in the default section and as a parameter in a named configuration section. The URL can be of any kind of application, a static HTML file, or a custom Servlet JSP application handling the RAD creation, as in the example below. [myApp] form=myFmx ssoMode=true ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false ssoErrorURL=http:example.com:7779servlethandleCustomRADcreation.jsp …

9.4.5 ssoCancelUrl

The ssoCancelURL parameter is used in combination with the dynamic RAD creation feature ssoDynamicResourceCreate= true and defines the URL that a user is redirected to if the user presses the cancel button in the HTML form that is used to dynamically create the RAD entry for the requested application.
