Types of single sign-on accounts

You use a single sign-on (SSO) account to securely authenticate with Oracle sites or applications. If your role requires you to access multiple sites and applications, you may use two different types of SSO accounts.

The following table lists the two types of SSO accounts you can use to access different Oracle or Oracle Life Sciences sites and applications.

Note:

For every Oracle Life Sciences SSO account, password expires every three months. Users receive a password reset reminder when approaching expiriation date.

  2. CDAs at your organization complete Account creation prerequisites.
  3. CDAs create other users accounts in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS and assigns them with specific product roles, necessary to access given products. See Create user accounts.
  4. Once your account is created, you receive one or two notification messages, depending on your role and your organization's setup for user management.
