Hi,
I spent a whole day to search for a solution but I couldn't find anything that helps me. I am a bit stuck and don't know where to start.
I use Apex 4.2 with Oracle Express 11g2.
I want to automatically authenticate users in my company to my Apex application through a single sign on if they have already logged in to our intranet or SharePoint (we use both).
I already switched the authentication scheme to the default LDAP authentication, so the login credentials on all web applications (Apex application, intranet, SharePoint) are always the same. I guess I'll need to create a new authentication scheme using APEX_LDAP but i don't know how to check if a user has already logged in to one of our applications during his browser session. Is there a cookie that needs to be checked? Where does the magic happen?
Some people in this forum mentioned this chapter in Pro Oracle Applicaiton Express: Pro Oracle Application Express > CHAPTER 13: LDAP and Single Sign-On - Pg. : Safari Books Online
The author explains a lot in there but when it comes to SSO, he only explains how it works with OID but not with AD (why don't you explain AD,too!? D-: )
So, is this even possible and if yes, where do I start?
