In this blog post I will share steps for performing a loopback test of OAM Federation 11.1.2.3. In a loopback test, we configure OAM’s SP to point to OAM’s IdP. This enables you to confirm the basic functionality of OAM Federation without requiring any external partner server. I also find it useful in plugin development - you can perform initial development of your plugin using just the OAM Federation server, since you might not have an instance of the intended partner server...

In this blog post I want to clarify a point of initial confusion some people experience with OAM Federation 11.1.2.3. If we go to the “Federation” tab of the OAM Console, we see: Now the two main objects you manage in your OAM Fed configuration are your IdP Partner definitions and your SP Partner definitions. So, I want to look at the IdP Partner definitions. Which link do I choose? The answer is, “Service Provider Management”. Conversely, to look at the SP Partner...

Introduction The objective of this blog is to demonstrate how to invoke secured RestFul web services from Fusion Cloud using Oracle Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as an Integration hub for real time integration with other clouds and on-premise applications. SOA could be on-premise or in the cloud (PAAS). The SOA composites deployed in on-premise SOA can be migrated to SOA in the cloud. What is REST? REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It ignores the details...

Multiple times in past, I have encountered questions/issues about OAAM_SAMPLE. So, thought to write a small post explaining how it can be used/configured to test (try out) different native integration options for OAAM. The OAAM Sample application is for demonstration purposes to familiarize yourself with OAAM APIs. It is not intended to be used as production code since it only provides basic elements of API usage. If you are implementing a native integration, you can develop...

We recently encountered an interesting requirement about taking decision within OAM Authorization policy based on the Risk-evaluation performed by OAAM during Authentication flow. Considering the interesting nature of the requirement / use-case, I thought to share details about the implementation approach through this blog post. Before I go into details about the implementation approach, let me explain the requirement / use-case as example with a few bullet points:...

The OPSS User and Role API (oracle.security.idm) provides an application with access to identity data (users and roles), without the application having to know anything about the underlying identity store (such as LDAP connection details). For new development, we no longer recommend the use of the OPSS User and Role API - use the Identity Governance Framework (IGF) APIs instead. However, if you already have code which uses the User and Role API, that code is still supported...

Introduction I have two goals with this post. To show how to setup Kerberos authentication for the Oracle Database and also demonstrate that the use/configuration of Kerberos is pretty straightforward. At least with the versions and OS I have used for this setup. The Kerberos functionality is provided by the Advanced Security Option of the DB and the Oracle client so it is important that this option has been select while creating the DB and while installing any Oracle...

Introduction The P2T - Prodution to Test - procedure is a very popular feature that FA customers utilize. It allows them to have their production data copied to another environment. Nowadays, P2T is a very common cloud SAAS and on-premise procedure. An important aspect that is not discussed frequently is the post-process of P2T. This approach is very important to avoid security issues, such as production passwords and emails being available in a different environment. Main...

Introduction Single sign-on, or “SSO” as it’s commonly referred to, is an authentication method that allows a user access to multiple applications through a single, secure, point of entry. Rather than authenticate separately for each application, users authenticate once through a centralized service. The benefits of SSO to end users are obvious, but there are also many cost and compliance advantages that are of interest to large organizations, which is why Oracle’s enterprise...
