Introduction Federation is a well-known pattern and has been discussed at length on this blog. Almost every vendor or cloud provider out there supports Federation and it’s been around for quite some time now. In this blog post, I will talk about Federation again, but this time in combination with Weblogic's Virtual Users and Groups. What that means, in practical terms, is that users and groups won’t have to be synchronized between the Identity Provider (Oracle Identity Cloud...

The objective of this post is to show the differences and similarities of the two REST APIs offered by OIM – the SCIM REST API and the OIG REST API. OIM Java APIs have been available in OIM for many versions now (since OIM 9.x or earlier), although each successive version has added new Java APIs to provide access to new functionality. The SCIM REST web services were newly introduced in 11.1.2.3. My previous blog post contains some discussions of the pros and cons of each API...

REST APIs for Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) 11g R2 PS3 were released recently. The availability of REST APIs enables a variety of newer integrations with the product in addition to already available mechanisms using Java APIs. In this article, we discuss various ways of accessing these REST APIs in a secure manner. Please note that irrespective of how users' authenticate to OIM, what data can they access and what actions can they perform depends only on OIM's authorization...

The objective of this post is to describe how a web app protected by an OAM WebGate can authenticate to the OIG REST APIs. In a previous blog post, I provided detailed steps to do the same thing for the SCIM REST APIs; now in this blog post I will explain how the same approach can be applied to the OIG REST APIs too, with only some minor changes. The reason we can use essentially the same approach for both the OIG REST and SCIM REST APIs is that both use the same OWSM...

Introduction Oracle Identity Cloud Services (IDCS) - Oracle's comprehensive Identity and Access Management platform for the cloud – was released recently. Populating identity data – such as user identities, groups and group memberships – is one of most important tasks that is typically needed initially and on an on-going basis in any identity management system. IDCS provides multiple ways for uploading identity data. The purpose of this post is to provide a high-level survey...

Introduction As we begin to deliver our Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) to the world(https://www.oracle.com/middleware/identity-management/index.html), we on the A-Team have been working to provide patterns and how-to posts to implement some of the common use cases we see in the field. One of the more common use cases is integrating with third party Service Providers (SP) with Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). IDCS is then configured to direct users to an Identity Provider (IdP)...

In this post, I will describe the process of using the Oracle Identity Cloud Service to provide authentication for a custom web application, using the OpenID Connect protocol. I will focus on the sequence of calls between the application and IDCS in order to focus on building an understanding of how OpenID Connect actually works. The problem we are trying to solve Before diving into any specifics, let's take a minute to talk about OpenID Connect and understand why we might...
