If you have been using Oracle’s Identity Management software for at least the last few years you will probably be familiar or at least heard of OVD (Oracle Virtual Directory), which was originally acquired back in 2005 from a company called OctetString. OVD provides a vast number of great virtual features used to aggregate multiple backend data stores and present LDAP consumers a single unified Directory Server. Beginning with OUD version 11.1.2.1.0, there have been a number...

Introduction I am always looking for great tips that give big values; this one is no exception. This article is to help you understand how to tweak the index called “Index Entry Limit” to reap some dramatic ldapsearch performance improvements. I explain what this index is about, some of my own test results, how to determine the correct value, and finally how to make the index change to your OUD instance. This will be a tip you will definitely want to add to your OUD Ninja...

Authentication mechanism chaining Since the inception of OAM 11g, we have been talking about authentication scheme chaining and being able to invoke multiple authentication schemes in sequence or invoke an authentication scheme based on some condition. This has been made possible since OAM R2PS2 release with the introduction of authentication status. You can PAUSE authentication process to interact with the user and resume authentication once the interaction is over. However...

Introduction I recently worked with a customer who needed to do some OAM session manipulation via custom code in order to implement a complex use case. While the focus of this post is not to go into details about a specific implementation, I did want to share some advice on a very necessary building block needed to do "out of band" session manipulation: retrieving the OAM Session ID. What is the Session ID (used for)? OAM 11g supports the concept of a server-side session...

Introduction Our teammate Jack Desai published an article last year about Fusion Application Roles Concept. It gives you a great overview about the design to grant access to certain functionalities to specific users. His article familiarizes you with the concepts of Abstract Roles, Duty Roles, Job Roles or Data Roles and how they are used in a Role Based Access (RBAC) model in Fusion Applications. Starting with the current Fusion Apps Release 10 further improvements in the...
