Integrating SSO in APEX 3.0

Question

Hi,
We're trying to integrate Oracle SSO with APEX follwing this how-to:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
We have two major issues:
1) We're following the instructions to create an authentication schema like "Oracle Application Server Single Sign On (My Application as Partner App)".
After completing all the steps with no apparent error, we created our custom procedure:
     procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2) as
     begin
wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.process_success(urlc => urlc,
                                                                                                              p_partner_app_name => 'MY_PARTNER_NAME');
     end process_success;
But when we access the application we get the following error:
ORA-04067: not executed, package body "PROVES.WWV_FLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH_SSO" does not exist ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
     Error      ERR-10560 Error executing wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.portal_sso_redirect.
It seems it is searching WWV_FLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH_SSO inside our custom schema PROVES, when it should call the PUBLIC SYNONYM.      We've checked and the synonym exists and we've granted acces to it from our custom schema.
Any ideas?
2) It's not clear for us which URL we should use when registering the app via SSO. If we have application number 104 (in APEX), should we call this URL?

instead of this one:

Many thanks.

Hi Scott,
First of all many thanks for your reply!
I'd like to understand better what's the difference between "My Application as Partner App" and "Oracle Application Express Engine as Partner App" because the documentation is not clear to me. I think I misunderstood its meaning, I though that using "Oracle Application Express Engine as Partner App" was for integrating the whole APEX with SSO and not just one application; Therefore, I thought that the other one was for integrating just one APEX application. Isn't that true? As a I read from your post I can see it's more than this but it's not clearly enough for me, could you, please, provide me a link with further information? By now, we just need to integrate one APEX application with a previous Portal & SSO environment, should we use "Oracle Application Express Engine as Partner App" instead of "My Application as Partner App"?
I finally managed to solve that error and my schema now recognizes WWV_FLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH_SSO perfectly. By now I'm having the following error: Error      Unable to run portal_sso_redirect procedure as schema:
PROVES with partner app name: MY_PARTNER_NAME
Many thanks for your time & help!
