Oracle 11g forms + SSO configuration

Question

Hi,
We are having a forms 11g application and we are trying to configure the same with oracle SSO. But when I set the ssoMode=true in the formsweb.cfg file and hit the url, i just get a page with a "Oracle SSO" line at the top of the page and nothing else.
I have put the following in the mod_osso.conf file in the AS.
The highlighted portion is the addition that I did to the config file.
Can anyone help me out with what needs to be done to get the forms application go to the oracle SSO page?
+LoadModule osso_module "${ORACLE_HOME}/ohs/modules/mod_osso.so"+
+<IfModule osso_module>+
+OssoIpCheck off+
+OssoIdleTimeout off+
+#+
+# Insert Protected Resources: (see Notes below for+
+# how to protect resources)+

+# 1. Here's what you need to add to protect a resource,+
+# e.g. <ApacheServerRoot>/htdocs/private:+
+#+
+# <Location /private>+
+# require valid-user+
+# AuthType Osso+
+# </Location>+
+*<Location /forms/frmservlet>*+
+*require valid-user*+
+*AuthType Osso*+
+*</Location>*+
+</IfModule>+
+#+
+# If you would like to have short hostnames redirected to+
+# fully qualified hostnames to allow clients that need+
+# authentication via mod_osso to be able to enter short+
+# hostnames into their browsers uncomment out the following+
+# lines+
+#+
+#PerlModule Apache::ShortHostnameRedirect+
+#PerlHeaderParserHandler Apache::ShortHostnameRedirect+

Karthik,
I think (to be confimed) that the Forms Servlet relies on Oracle SSO only (in order to get full SSO features and LDAP authentication).
This OOTB feature deals with authentication but also with provisioning considerations and with passing context between Forms and Report (perhaps it's not in yours needs)
Meanwhile, it should be possible to do a bind directly with the OID directory, from a Forms application.
That means that you give up the SSO setup, and you implement the authentication into the application code with a specific login trigger.
This trigger (on-logon) will call a PL/SQL function aimed to do a simple bind with the OID (just to verify the right combination user/password).
Have a look into the Forms forum. There are numerous skilled guys who have probably already done this job.
Fortunatly, OID is provided with a rich set of PL/SQL APIs at the database server level, well suited for Forms developers. You can also use LDAP APIs at the Apps Server level (vs Database).
