Oracle OpenWorld OOW 2010 – Middleware
As has become tradition, I will be attending Oracle OpenWorld again this year joined by a few other M&S team members focused on Oracle Fusion Middleware. Let us know if you will be around and want to meet up. The most solid agenda items I have are the authors’ seminar for a new WebCenter 11g book we are releasing (more on that to come), a few of the SOA, BPM, Governance, and Enterprise 2.0 events with Product Management teams, and, of course, the concert.
WebLogic and WebCenter SSO with IIS – Windows Native Authentication (WNA), SPNEGO using Active Directory (AD)
Setting up Windows Native Authentication (with Kerberos) Single Sign-On (SSO) within WebLogic can be tricky. One way to accomplish this is to use IIS to front-end the WebLogic cluster.

WebCenter 11g vs WebCenter 11g [JDeveloper] Tech Preview 4
In early 2008, Oracle allowed you to enable WebCenter 11g and SOA 11g Tech Previews through the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Technology Preview. At this point, mid-2009, this is somewhat outdated. The actual WebCenter 11g release (not available for download by Oracle) has quite an enhanced environment, features, etc. I don’t know the timing details exactly, but I imagine that the tech preview was put together before the BEA acquisition decisions were finalized and certainly before they were fully integrated. WebCenter 11g should be a fantastic product taking the best of many Enterprise 2.0 products and services that Oracle has either … Read More
