COREid, Thor, Xellerate and Others

Earlier this year Oracle made a number of purchases in the identity management space. These have been rolled into the Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite of products. The obvious question probably occurs to you: can you use these with the E-Business Suite?

What's in Oracle Identity and Access Management?

First, it's important to be very clear about which products are included in this suite. These are:

• Oracle Single Sign-On & Oracle Internet Directory
  
• Oracle Access Manager (formerly Oblix COREid Access & Identity)
  
• Oracle Identity Federation (formerly Oblix COREid Federation)
  
• Oracle Identity Manager (formerly Thor Xellerate Identity Provisioning)
  
• Oracle Virtual Directory (formerly OctetString Virtual Directory Engine)
  

(the following products are have "special" licencing terms)

• Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On (in partnership with Passlogix)
• Oracle Web Services Manager (formerly Oblix COREid Web Services Manager)
  

Supported with the E-Business Suite

All of the Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite products are supported for use with the E-Business Suite Release 11 and the upcoming Release 12. In other words, you may use all of the products above with E-Business Suite environments.

In addition, the E-Business Suite has special certified integrations with Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Internet Directory. The Applications Technology Group has produced specific documentation and patches for these configurations for E-Business Suite customers.

For an extensive discussion about the distinction between supported vs. certified configurations, see Certification & Support for Third-Party Products. Oracle supports more configurations than they actually certify.
