Introduction
Oracle9iAS R1 and Oracle Application Server 10g use Login Server and Oracle
SingleSign-On (SSO) Server respectivelytoprovideSSOfunctionalityto its partner
applications. When a user presents credentials to a partner application, such as
Oracle Portal, the request is redirected to the Login Server/Oracle SSO Server,
which upon successful authentication, issues a token that represents the user’s
identity. This token is passed on to the calling partner application, which then
creates its own session tokens. Upon logout, the partner application performs its
own local logout procedures and then immediately calls the Login Server/Oracle
SSO server’s logout procedure. On completion of these procedures, the user’s
session is invalidated.
