5.3 Integrating Authenticated Web Content Using Single Sign-On

This section walks you through an example that demonstrates how you can leverage OracleAS Single Sign-On to integrate content from external Web sites that require authentication into a Web Clipping portlet. The example incorporates a secured page from Oracle Metalink an external application into a Web Clipping portlet. To integrate an external application, perform the following steps: 1. Set up the external application in Oracle Portal, specifying the authentication information by performing the following steps. Refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal for more details. a. Log in to Oracle Portal as a user who has SSO Administration privileges, for example, the orcladmin user. b. Navigate to the Administer External Applications portlet. Click the Administer tab, then click the Portal subtab. In the SSO Server Administration section, which is in the right column, select Administer External Applications.

c. Click Add External Application.

d. In the Create External Application page, in the Application Name field, enter

a name for the application, for example, Metalink.

e. For Login URL, enter the URL to log in to the application, for example,

http:metalink.oracle.commetalinkplsqlsit_ main.showSitemap?p_showTitle=0. To determine the URL, navigate to the desired application in a browser and note the URL. For Form-based Authorization, view the source of the login page for the external application and note the URL to be accessed during the login action.

f. For User NameID Field Name, enter the field name that the external

application uses for the user name. Determine the field name by viewing the source for the desired page. If the Authentication method uses Basic Authentication, you do not need to enter a field name. For Metalink, you do not need to enter anything in this field.

g. For Password Field Name, enter the field name that the external application

uses for the password. Determine the field name by viewing the source for the desired page. If the Authentication method uses Basic Authentication, you do not need to enter a field name. For Metalink, you do not need to enter anything in this field.

h. Select Basic Authentication as the authentication method.

i. In the Additional Fields section, you can enter names and values of any

additional fields that are submitted with the login form of the external application. To specify a field name that is used to indicate a redirection URL, enter redirectFieldName for Field Name. For this example, you do not need to enter additional fields. Figure 5–12 shows the Additional Fields section. Figure 5–12 Specifying Redirection

j. Click OK.

k. To test your credentials with Oracle Metalink, in the Administer External Applications page, click the name of the application you just created. Then, in the External Application Login page, log in to the application Oracle Metalink using your Oracle Metalink user name and password.
