Oracle Agile PLM enables alignment of People, Processes, and Technology to best manage the Products throughout the product life cycle – from idea inception to retirement. It is one of the prominent offering in Oracle Applications portfolio.
I was investigating its integrations opportunities with Oracle Identity Management solution. The recommended configuration for Agile PLM suggests Database as the repository, but it can be integrated with a range of LDAP directories.
Agile PLM supports LDAP authentication through the Agile Directory Server Integration Module. You can integrate Agile with your existing directory server to manage your users in one place. This approach can be fully integrated into Agile PLM, for these supported directory servers:
- Oracle Internet Directory Server
- Microsoft Active Directory Server
- Sun Java System Directory Server
- Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Server
- Oracle Virtual Directory Server
If you chose to manage your user accounts through a directory server (instead of the database) during installation, then all new users are added, and certain user attributes are configured, only through the directory server.
With SSO configured and enabled for your PLM system, a user that has signed in to the system once (for instance, through the corporate portal) is not prompted again by a “login” dialog in such cases as:
- Launching Web Client
- Clicking on a URL for an email notification
- When a customer’s supplier launches the Microsoft Excel-based Solution from a Declaration
- When Web Client times out.
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) ensures authentication and strict authorization policies are applied to your applications and services such as:
- Controlled access to web applications, Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) applications, J2EE resources, and common packaged enterprise applications.
- Web SSO for secure access to multiple applications with one authentication step.
- Flexible authentication support.
Agile PLM 9.3.2 is certified with OAM (11g) suite of products.
