**What do you like best about Oracle SSO?**

Oracle SSO works incredible for bunches of clients. So much data put away in one spot, exceptionally valuable information. Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) administrations for coordinate applications, underpins all prophet venture applications: Oracle SSO is another Single Sign-On items, taking into account LDAP catalog innovation and can be utilized as an AAA Server.

Oracle SSO allows clients of back office answers for log on once and stay signed on based upon their windows qualifications.

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2016

**What do you like best about Oracle SSO?**

SSO allows you access to numerous Oracle tools that we use. Only one login is required. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle SSO?**

Where do I start? The Internet Expenses tool that we use to document expense reports is so counterintuitive, I can't believe it's still in use anywhere. There are other user friendly products that integrate things like photos of receipts for uploading to a report. We get error messages a lot when navigating between fields. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle SSO:**

Make sure you have access to the latest products and that they will work for your team and let your end user get a hold of a trial before implementing this software. Ultimately your end user has to be comfortable with the product for it to be used effectively throughout the entire company.

We are still doing business as we need to be and Oracle has worked well over the years, it just doesn't seem to be evolving.

**What do you like best about Oracle SSO?**

Oracle SSO is another Single Sign-On products, based on LDAP directory technology and can be used as a AAA Server:  Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services for integrate applications, supports almost all oracle enterprise applications: I used it on Windows user machines with Kerberos protocol, Java based and Web aplications with API and have integrate a friendly Active Directory user and group synchronization tool.

**What do you dislike about Oracle SSO?**

1.- Many errors on UNIX/LINUX logon LDAP based authentication.
2.- Unsupported SUDO centralized management.
3.- When AAA system grows to multiple hosts, managing the logs and accessing them can be complicated, as admin or auditor, I should want to see all logins attempts for meeting security requirements and forensic analysis.
4.- Many products subyacents, licences, you can need license for Oracle Database Advanced Replication, Oracle Directory Services Manager's, License for additional Plugins, etc.
5.- If you are planning on extending objects that are managed by Oracle SSO, for example add a ID identification schema, you should lost technical support.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle SSO:**

I should recommend an alternative management web front-end.

**What problems is Oracle SSO solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My IT Bussiness Integrate Oracle SSO working with RSA SecurID for access, customer service and technical support is fine, we have multiple data centers split over geographic distances, we used Oracle SSO with multi-master replication to replicate the data between them.
