Installing OIF11g with OHS as proxy webserver in front

Question

Hi all,
I want to deploy OIF 11g with OHS as a web-proxy in front. So, I followed this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/oim.1111/e13400/deployment.htm#DAFEDIEA
This link says:
<snip>
When installing the IdM suite, select Oracle HTTP Server in the Select Components screen. This will install Oracle HTTP Server.
After installation, issue the following command-line instruction to create the instance:
$AS_INST/bin/opmnctl createcomponent -componentType OHS -componentName $OHS_NAME
</snip>
This is confusing me. Because after I install / configure the OIF with selected Oracle HTTP server, I see a OHS instance ohs1 already created and the same comes up in the EM console as well. Still, do we have to create another OHS component?

Hi.
You could try sending a cookie with the authentication info.
Try posting this question in weblogic.developer.interest.security - this newsgroup is
mostly for installation questions.
Thanks,

Hi
My application requirement is something like this.
I have an application running in one computer domain(external to my machine from
where i am accessing). If i am accessing the application from the outside domain,
i am giving username and password in my url itself and the application works.
If the username and password are not provided, then a box pops up asking the two.
Now the requirement is to avoid the username and password hardcoding in the URL.
So what should i do to achieve this from weblogic server standpoint? I use weblogic
server 5.1 version.
Setting up the weblogic server as the HTTP Proxy , does it help? If so , how it
should be for this requirement?
Any pointers, Any inputs will be highly appreciated. Please help.
