Hi Shakespeare

I can't understand what is going on with my iframe/apex/sso/portal combination. Have you registered your application as the partner app or just apex as the partner app? I have only got apex registered as the partner app.

This is the url to a discussion I had on the oracle forums about the above topic earlier today there is some more information about my problem including the access and error log entries from apache.

Any more comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
