Oracle Database Administration: The Essential Refe

Single sign-on

The single sign-on feature allows users to access multiple accounts and applications with a single password. This feature eliminates the need for multiple passwords for users and simplifies management of user accounts and passwords for system administrators. Authentication adapters provide centralized, secure authentication services that confirm the identity of users, clients, and servers in distributed environments. Network authentication services also can provide the benefit of single sign-on for users. The following authentication adapters are supported:

• Kerberos

• CyberSAFE

• SecurID

• Biometric (Identix)
