I FINALLY got SSO to work with OID. I was getting an error message that the OID could not be contacted through SSO. I could verify that the OID was running, I could get to the SSO UI, but when I went to add users or update my profile, I would get the error.

After some research, I decided to try and secure the OMS from emctl on the application server. I then regesitered the Portal server with the app server securely via emctl. I do not know if this step helped or if it was necessary, but my plan worked. I signed into the portal and was able to create users, assign permissions, and add group policies.

Installation was smooth, as stated below. I can connect to the Portal Builder using the Portal account - NO PROBLEM. But I keep getting an error message when trying to create portal users. Right now I am researching these errors, but if you have any insight on any platform, pplease let me know. The error I recieve says the portal can't connect to the Directory Server. I have set up the OID, I do not want to sync to my AD yet, but I know it is running.....anyway, thats where I'm at.

Installed AS and the Portal today, smooth, no errors. Easier in my opinion than installing grid control. Internet Directory and Single Sign On is a little tricky but manageable.

I signed into Chase today and they are using the portal for gtheir online banking site. Pretty sweet

OK, I have some interest in enterprise portals. Portals allow companies to collaborate with others, manage documents, search knowledge bases, can provide single sign on (but I use AD in windows - shocking I know).

Anyway, I decided to take a look at Oracle Fusion, specifically the Portals and Wireless server. I am currently installing/configuring a test server to run the 10g AS which is required to run a portal.......will update after AS install......
