http://pitss.com/us/2012/10/08/integrating-forms-with-webgate-11g/ In Oracle Access Manager 11g and Oracle Forms 11gR2, you may either use WebGate or mod_osso for single sign-on with your forms application. In order to configure Forms with WebGate, you will need to: Open formsweb.cfg either through Enterprise Manager FMW Control (Forms –> Web Configuration) or going to the file in %DOMAIN_HOME%configfmwconfigserversWLS_FORMSapplicationsformsapp_11.1.2configformsweb.cfg Go to the section of your application If editing formsweb.cfg manually, add the parameter “ssoMode=webgate”. If editing from Enterprise Manager, go to the sso section from the drop-down menu and type in “webgate” in the ssoMode parameter. Save or apply all changes. Log into the OAM Administration Console. Under Policy Configuration, go to Authentication Schemes –> LDAPScheme. Double-click on LDAPScheme In the box next to “Challenge Parameters”, type in “ssoCookie=disablehttponly” Click Apply In your Resources for the 11g WebGate under “Application Domains” (still in Policy Configuration), click “Search” to pull up all resources. Change the Authentication Policy and Authorization Policy for both / and /…/* to “Public Resource Policy”. Click the Create button on top of the current results.

Recopy the ObAccessClient.xml and cwallet.sso files to %OAM_MIDDLEWARE_HOME%ohs_homeinstancesohs_webgate11gconfigOHSohs1webgateconfig from the %OAM_DOMAIN_HOME%outputOAM11g_WebGate directory. Open up %OAM_MIDDLEWARE_HOME%ohs_homeinstancesohs_webgate11gconfigOHSohs1mod_wl_ohs.conf in a text editor (NOTE: Please make a backup of this file before making any modifications to it.). Add the following at the end of the file: SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost server.domain WebLogicPort 9001 SetHandler weblogic-handler WebLogicHost server.domain WebLogicPort 9002 Save and close the file.

Difference between AIM and OUM

If you already used AIM's methodology in your projects you will not find a very big difference, majority of task and deliverable remain same, but they reclassified under different Process. Lets take a quick look, if you take first on Phases then AIM was based out of 6 phases where as OUM only 5. When you compare the process ,12 Processes was mentioned in AIM , where as 14 process is documented in OUM (Implement Focus) as per list and figure below. OUM is prepared in such a way to speak universal language in all their approach towards Phases, Process and Templates. Now you can have one methodology to implement any kind of software product, those can be within the umbrella of oracle or even out of that. Following OUM will be more than sufficient to plan and process with a project. AIM Process: 1. Project Management 2. Business Process architecture 3. Business Requirement Definition 4. Business Requirement Mapping 5. Application & Technical architecture 6. Module Design & Build 7. Data Conversion 8. Documentation 9. Business System Testing 10. Performance Testing 11. Adoption & Learning 12. Production migration. OUM Process: 1. Business Requirements 2. Requirements Analysis 3. Analysis 4. Design 5. Implementation 6. Testing 7. Performance Management 8. Technical Architecture 9. Data Acquisition and Conversion 10. Documentation 11. Organizational Change Management 12. Training 13. Transition 14. Operations and Support
