Hi all,<\/p>\n

Though form based authentication is OOTB configuration in Oracle Access Manager, we fumble sometimes with the form authentication scheme and its parameters, login page, action URL etc.,<\/p>\n

So, I would like to bring those gotchas or keypoints to remember while configuring Form based authentication.<\/p>\n

There are two usecases here:<\/p>\n

1. Assume both web application and Form login page resides in same OHS server.<\/p>\n

2. Assume web application resides in OHS webserver and form login page resides in Apache server.<\/p>\n

Lets assume OHS is running on Port 7777 and Apache on 80.<\/p>\n

In this article, I will explain the case 1 and the other article <\/a>explains case 2.<\/p>\n

It is an easy configuration when login page resides in same web server where application resides. The important parameters of Form based authentication are<\/p>\n

Challenge Parameter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
form:\/login.html<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
creds:userid password<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
action:\/dummy.cgi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
passthrough:no<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Here, login.html should be available in OHS server and test it with this URL http:\/\/OHS_Hostname:7777\/login.html . If you are using OHS11g, then place this login.html in the location WebTier_Home\\instances\\instance1\\config\\OHS\\ohs_name\\htdocs.<\/p>\n

You can also use Challenge Redirect to redirect the users to a central location storing all forms.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The action URL is a dummy URL say dummy.cgi. This URL should be protected using Anonymous Authentication scheme in OAM as shown in below slides.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Specify authorization Rule to allow all users.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Assign the Anonymous Authentication scheme.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Assign\u00a0 the Allow All authorization Rule.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

After this, specify your application resource to be protected in Resources of a policy domain and assign Form Login Authentication scheme.<\/p>\n

This completes the configuration. Now, test the form based authentication by accessing the url say http:\/\/ohs_hostname: 7777\/form_example\/test.jsp as shown below.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Observe that the login.html is present in same OHS server (7777) . Enter the credentials and click login.<\/p>\n
