Oracle Portal w/Single-signon

Saw demos of Oracle Portal and really liked it. Have decided to implement it. We are also running Oracle Apps 11i (11.5.3 patched to 11.5.6+).

>From what I have seen it appears that portal must be installed in the 11i database. This just does not seem to make sense. Why would my intranet site have to be controlled by 11i availablilty. What happens if 11i is down for patching, etc.

Can someone shed some light on this.
