Link: ESI JDE SSO
JDE user, password and generally authentication management are big issues, consuming sizeable amounts of effort and ultimately costing companies a pretty penny at the end of the day. A number of real and a few perceived issues surrounding all standard approaches offered by Oracle(R) are frequently preventing JDE customers from implementing them. There is clearly a need for something simple to fill in this gap. Something that is secure, easy to understand and implement, convenient to use and well documented.
Soon after introducing our revolutionary ESI JDE User Self Management software, we thought about what else can be done in this area, can this approach be enhanced and taken a few steps further? And predictably enough, we came up with this new solution. These two different software solutions do not overlap, they simply offer two different paths to managing your user authentication. With ESI JDE User Self Management, you keep your normal JDE authentication, do not really extend it in any direction and only add a single new automatic function - allow your users to manage their own passwords, taking a lot of load off your IT support.
With this new approach, the authentication is effectively delegated to Active Directory and all JDE aspects of it are now silently managed by our software in the background. But without the complexity of setting it all up within JDE and with some serious additional benefits, not available with the standard JDE LDAP integration. Yet, despite the fact that it's not at all identical to JDE LDAP integration, it is still an LDAP integration, just a different kind. A much friendlier kind. And with more power.
This is a 5-in-1 solution. It concurrently resolves FIVE SEPARATE issues in JDE:
1) It implements JDE Single Signon WITHOUT configuring JDE for either LDAP or Oracle SSO, in fact without any special configuration in JDE at all - this will save you a lot of time and pain!
2) When signing in into the JDE WEB client, this solution ELIMINATES THE PASSWORD PROMPT entirely, relying on Windows authentication to seamlessly authenticate the users - this will save your users time and make their experience better!
3) The standard JDE approach requires Windows User Names to be identical to those of JDE Users, our SSO solution ELIMINATES THIS REQUIREMENT - your Windows names can be as long, or indeed as different from JDE names as desired, necessary or practical - this will give you the flexibility most sites need!
4) Moreover, this solution practically ELIMINATES PASSWORD MANAGEMENT in JDE, by entirely concealing the JDE passwords and effectively replacing the manual JDE signon with an automated process - this will reduce your support costs and again save time to your users!
5) And to top it all, since this solution can at the same time LOAD-BALANCE the JDE WEB Servers, it does - it's just a nice extra feature we could include in this solution at no extra cost!
This solution is typically non-visual: when everything is configured and works as expected, the users won't even see it. And if there are any errors that the users should be notified about, this solution shows itself and presents the user with a helpful screen, detailing the error and the possible solution.
The installation is simple and easy, administration is streamlined and intuitive. If you ever used our software, you would know that our solutions are extremely easy to work with, nothing like you've ever seen before. If you are trying to compare the necessary implementation efforts with the JDE LDAP authentication implementation requirements, it will likely take 10-50 times less effort with this solution.
This solution can deliver massive savings, it would typically pay itself off within a few months.

This solution can be implemented in hours. Installation support is free. Only Unicode JDE releases with TR896_F1 or up are supported. As far as the JDE backend and WEB platforms are concerned, this solution is independent of either one (provided that it is OW/E1 and not World and bearing in mind that it does need an IIS server somewhere in your network to run on).
