Tip:

Error Correction Support for Oracle Identity Management 10g, version 10.1.4.x ended in December 2011. For this reason, there is no section which is specific to this version. However, Error Correction Support remains in place, until end of this year, for the Oracle Identity Management 10.1.4.x components

    • Single Sign On (SSO)
    • Delegated Administration Services (OIDDAS)

provided you are using them as part of a Single Sign-On solution (OID 11g + SSO / OIDDAS 10.1.4.3) for a Portal / Forms / Reports and Discoverer 11.1.1.x architecture.   

As such there are security related patches available for Fusion Middleware Single Sign On. You will find the patch numbers listed in the sections for 11.1.1.4, 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.6

And finally, if you are hit any unexpected errors when applying the CPU patches, check out the known issues documented in these two support documents.
