Form based authentication using Oracle Access Manager when login page resides in Central location

Hi all,

In my previous you would have seen the configuration for Form based authentication using Oracle Access Manager when application and login page resides in same server.

What if the login page resides in Central location ? This is generally the recommended approach in real time scenarios because there might be several applications where you will use OAM for achieving SSO for all those applications using Form login. In this case, login page will be residing in Central location.

Lets assume that web application resides in OHS server running on port 7777. Login page resides on Apache server running on port 80.

The key params of Authentication Scheme in this usecase are:

Challenge Redirect: http://apachesvr_hostname:80

Rest of the params in Challenge Parameter remains same as explained in the previous article.

You should test the login page accessibility in Apache server using the URL http://apachesvr_hostname:80/login.html

The essential point in this scenario is that there should be a WebGate on the server where login page resides. Also, the login page should be protected using Anonymous Auth scheme as seen in the previous case.

Lets test the application as shown below.

Observe that the login page is present in Apache Server and hence it is redirected as shown below.

After entering the correct credentials, user will be taken to the requested resource on OHS Server.

This finishes the configuration.

Please write your comments in case of any questions.
