You may want to use ssoxoid.pkb package that comes with Portal/Login Server 3.0.9 which simplifies the configuration.
Also, you will not have to run the external procdure listener. Please refer to the Login Server Admin. guide for more details.
NOTE:
the 3.0.9.8.0 version of ssoxoid.pkb is not good. You need to download 3.0.9.8.2 patch and get the ssoxoid.pkb file from there.
Also, you may want to turn on debug for SSO Server to see debug msg.
DEBUG
========
You need to loginto the Login Server schema and run following commands to see debug msg.
sqlplus portal30_sso/password
TO TURN ON DEBUG
1. Create debug proceure
CREATE OR replace PROCEDURE debug_print (str VARCHAR2) AS
PRAGMA autonomous_transaction;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO wwsso_log$ VALUES
(wwsso_log_pk_seq.nextval,
substr(str, 1, 1000),
sysdate,
dbms_session.unique_session_id
commit;
END debug_print;
show errors;
TO SEE THE DEBUG LOG
2. Try to login using portal login link
and see the error msg from the log table
select msg from wwsso_log$ order by id;
TO STOP THE DEBUG LOG
3. Delete the log
delete from wwsso_log$ ;
commit;
4. Turn off debugging
CREATE OR replace PROCEDURE debug_print (str VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
null;
END debug_print;
show errors;
