Security: Single Sign-On Key Features of Oracle HTTP Server

1-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle HTTP Server Oracle HTTP Server also supports reverse proxy capabilities, making it easier to make content served by different servers to appear from one single server.

1.1.1.5 Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides a high availability infrastructure integration with Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server OPMN, for process management, failure detection, and failover for Oracle HTTP Server processes.

1.1.1.6 Oracle Plug-Ins

Oracle provides the following plug-ins to enable Microsoft Internet Information Server IIS to work with Oracle HTTP Server: ■ Oracle Proxy Plug-In is a separately-available component that enables Microsoft IIS to route requests to Oracle HTTP Server. Users can benefit from Oracle HTTP Server features even when their corporate standard requires them to use Microsoft IIS. The proxy plug-in provides Oracle HTTP Server features, such as single sign-on and load balancing, to be accessed when using a third-party HTTP listener. ■ Oracle SSO Plug-In is a separately-available component that enables Microsoft IIS to be integrated with Oracle Fusion Middleware Single Sign-on. For example, Microsoft IIS listener applications can be protected by using the Oracle Single Sign-on infrastructure, as well as basic directory structure. Users can be authenticated to these listeners using a single sign-on password. This functionality is similar to what the mod_osso module provides to Oracle HTTP Server.

1.1.1.7 PLSQL Server Pages

PLSQL Server Pages are similar in concept to the JavaServer Pages. The mod_plsql module enables PLSQL to be used as the scripting language within an HTML page. PLSQL Server Pages get translated into a stored procedure, which then uses the module to send the output to the browser.

1.1.1.8 Server-Side Includes

Server-Side Includes provide an easy way of adding dynamic or uniform static content across all pages on a site. It is typically used for header and footer information. Oracle HTTP Server supports special directives to enable these only for certain types of files, or for specified virtual hosts.

1.1.1.9 Perl

Perl is a scripting language often used to provide dynamic content. Perl scripts can either be called as a CGI program, or directly through the mod_perl module. Oracle Fusion Middleware uses Perl version 5.10.
