Question about Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Access Manager 11g


I am seeking Oracle expert's suggestions in the following integration steps:


For OAM 11.1.1.5 and EBS 12.1.3 SSO implementation as per the below Oracle guidelines, one of the pre-installation step is to integrate eBusiness Suite with OID.

- Is OID a mandatory component in the Oracle eBusiness Suite with OAM SSO implementation. Can ODSEE or OVD be used in place of OID.

I am really not sure, why do we need OID in this integration, if the OAM is able to use ODSEE or OVD as it's user store. And I believe starting from release 11.1.1.5 OAM supports ODSEE and OVD as it's user stores. I am very curious to know the role of OID in this integration.

My OAM-EBS integartion environment comprises of

1. Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5
2. Oracle eBusiness Suite 12.1.3
3. Oracle Directory Server EE 11.1.1.5
4. Oracle Virtual Directory 11.1.1.5

OVD sits on top of the ODSEE and used as user store for OAM.

Thanks
