Quick Notes on Reconfiguring SSO for a Different URL

Ran into an issue on the .mil domain.

Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.2) running Forms and configured for SSO authentication.

Server exposed to .mil domain, but URL in DNS did not match fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of server.

Used Metalink Note 270160.1 as a reference to reconfigure the SSO with the public URL used by users.  Ran both ssocfg.bat and ssoreg.bat with the URL.  This provided a correct re-direct from SSO to Forms after authentication.

This caused an issue with a servlet that reads the URL and parses it to obtain the Oracle Internet Directory realm information (the default realm is based on the FQDN of the server).  Set search types to IDTYPE_SIMPLE and instead of building the realm DN from the servlet's request object, created an initialization parameter in the web.xml containing the FQDN.  This allowed the servlet to search and create users in OID independent of the URL used to access the server.
