Introduction It is a very common requirement from customers to have a delegated administration model that is not tied to the organizations where the administrators are placed. Historically, OIM only supports a one-to-one relationship between Users and Organizations. However, starting with OIM 11g R2 and the introduction of the Catalog, it is possible to publish resources to one or more Organizations. This allows to limit the visibility of the resources to only the users who...

This post presents a list of configuration points in OIM. Such list definitely must be taken into account whenever a customer is planning an OIM go-live. This list is not intended to replace the OIM documentation, instead, the idea is to complement it. It provides tips on a few topics that are not part of the documentation. Let's go for them: A visit to the OIM Performance Tuning guide is mandatory step before a go-live. The guide for the 11.1.2.1.0 release can be found here,...

The standard and documented usage of the tool does not make provision for the loading of unique user passwords, though. This article describes an approach that can be used to achieve that requirement. This post is also part of the OIM 11g Academy Series. How does OIM bulk load work? The tool uses the SQL Loader...

Introduction This post is the fourth and last one of a series by Andre Correa and Paulo Pereira on OAG (Oracle API Gateway). In the first post we introduced the use case and talked about the Kerberos authentication part. In the second post we talked about Role Based Access Control. In the third post we described how to propagate the authenticated user through a SAML token and also covered OWSM configuration in OSB and SOA.

Introduction This post is the third one of a series by Andre Correa and Paulo Pereira on OAG (Oracle API Gateway). In the first post we introduced the use case and talked about the Kerberos authentication part. In the second post we talked about Role Based Access Control. In this one we describe how to build a SAML token out of the authenticated user and sign it so it properly interoperates with an OWSM server-side policy applied to OSB proxy service. We also cover the...
