Connection ASP to Oracle SSO

[Dynapen]

Here's the problem-

I have a ASP application that I need to enable through Oracle's SSO so that you can access it transparently alongside the new JSP site we are building. It seems that from what I am reading that after I define my site as a partner applicaiton with Oracle SSO (which I have done) that it should be pretty easy.

But here is my question. What do I need to pass to the SSO to tell it who I am (what partner applicaiton) so that it can do it's authentication and send me to the right place. It would make sense that it's something that needs to be in the header, but I can't find anything that tells me what values, and what attribute names I need to pass to the SSO so that it knows which partner application I am. I know what information SSO is pasing back to me, but that doesn't help me until I get back from the SSO.

Oracle isn't telling me anything, and I can't find anything on OTN, Metalink, or the hundreds of different internet searches.

Am I way off base here, or is it just Oracle being a pain in the butt. The money's gone, the brain is shot.....but the liquor we still got.

Let me know if you get this working. I finally got a working version of the oracle_osso.dll from oracle. If you download the one off OTN, it will not work. Truest me, I've been working with them for 3 weeks on the bug.

I'm looking for a way to pass the username or other attributes to an ASP page from the SSO session..etc.

I can protect IIS served pages via SSO and it works great, however I cannot find a way to know who logged it.

It's a difference between authorizing and authenticating.

any ideas?

We are preparing to do something very similar to this, trying to protect a series of ASP pages with an external Oracle SSO.

We have 9iAS and infrastructure installed on our test Oracle server and it looks like we need to install oracle_proxy.dll as well as oracle_sso.dll on the IIS server to do this.

Do either of you have any pointers or things to watch out for?

Thanks!

We actually did get this working. But only after several TAR's to oracle, and paying a couple of oracle consultants to come out. (1 actually happens to be here now). Basically what we got back from them said that what they tell you about doing this connection, is really only 1/3 of all the info you need. I didn't personally end up working on it so I can't give you the answer. But Oracle does have it, they just don't want to share.
