Oracle HTTP Server Modules 7-29

PlsqlAuthenticationMode Speciﬁes the authentication mode to use for allow

access through this DAD.

Notes:

■ Most customer applications use Basic Authentication. Custom Authentication

modes (GlobalOwa, CustomOwa, PerPackageOwa) are used by very few

PL/SQL applications. The SingleSignOn mode is supported only for Oracle

Application Server releases, and is used by Oracle Application Server Portal

and Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On.

■ If the DAD is not using the Basic authentication, then you must include a

valid username/password in the DAD conﬁguration. For the Basic mode, if

you wish to perform dynamic authentication, the DAD username/password

parameters must be omitted.

■ In older versions of the product, this conﬁguration parameter was derived from

a combination of enablesso and custom_auth.

■ enablesso = Yes translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode

SingleSignOn

■ custom_auth = Global translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode

GlobalOwa

■ custom_auth = Custom translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode

CustomOwa

■ custom_auth = PerPackage translates to

PlsqlAuthenticationMode PerPackageOwa

All other combinations translate to Basic.
