Once you have a data source that stores a connection to your LDAP server, you have to create an authentication scheme for your Primavera applications. An authentication scheme is a named component that defines the challenge mechanism that is required to authenticate a user. For example, the authentication scheme determines if you will use form based authentication, basic authentication, Windows Native Authentication, and so on.
To create a new authentication scheme, follow the instructions in the Managing Authentication Schemes section of the Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management, which can be found at the following URL.
If you already have an authentication scheme, you can use it as a template to provide form based authentication for your P6 EPPM applications.
To duplicate an authentication scheme:
Note: When you duplicate an existing authentication scheme and are use it as a template for your Primavera applications, many of the fields in the Authentication Scheme dialog box will be prepopulated. You do not need to alter the following fields:
Note: By default, the ssoCookie:httponly challenge parameter is enabled in an authentication scheme. This parameter helps to prevent JavaScript running in the browser from accessing the ObSSOCookie; however, it is necessary to read ObSSOCookie in order to give applets and iFrames the ability to read from an existing authenticated session.
If this challenge parameter is turned on it will result in the following two issues when using P6 EPPM over SSO:
To prevent these prompts from occurring, the following challenge parameters should be added to the authentication scheme created:
