ApEx 2.1.0.00.39 as Partner Application in Oracle AS Single Sign-On

Question

Hi,
I've installed the last Application Express 2.1.0.00.39 (oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm and oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm) but, when I try to "create an authentication scheme" for configure an ApEx application to use SSO under
Home>Application Builder>Application xxx>Shared Components>Authentication Schemes>Create Authentication Scheme
in the second step of the procedure I don't find the choice "Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (Application Express engine as Partner App)".
I found only these:
- Show Built-In Login Page and Use Open Door Credentials
- Show Login Page and Use Application Express Account Credentials
- Show Login Page and Use Database Account Credentials
- Show Login Page and Use LDAP Directory Credentials
- No Authentication (using DAD)
even if under the help voice "V Information" the others two are describes:
Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (Application Express engine as Partner App) delegates authentication to the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (SSO) Server. This Application Express site must have already been registered as a partner application with the SSO server. For more information, contact your administrator.
Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (My application as Partner App) delegates authentication to the SSO server. In this case, you must register an application with SSO as a partner application. See the next page for more details.
Does Someone know how to resolve it?
Thanks
Emanuele

Thanks for all your help Scott
I've added the -PORTAL_SSO- .....
After this I've had a new problem same to this: Re: SSO Authentication Not Working
"get the error below and it then directs me to http://hostx/htmldb/f? and the "p=" is missing"
But after a lot of tests I discovered where was the problem: "The apache configuration for the proxy!!"
This an extract from the installation doc :
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
ProxyPass /htmldb http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb
ProxyPassReverse /htmldb http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb
ProxyPass /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
ProxyPassReverse /i http://127.0.0.1:8080/i
ProxyPass /sys http://127.0.0.1:8080/sys
ProxyPassReverse /sys http://127.0.0.1:8080/sys
where you replace 127.0.0.1 with the name OR ip address of your XE installation. 8080 is the default http port of your XE installation. "
Well, I used the IP ADDRESS and in the @regapp > listener_token the NAME!!! (HTML_DB:servername.domain:80)
I changed the IP ADDRESS with the NAME, restarted the httpd service and now all works fine.
