Introduction If you have spent enough time working with web services you have probably heard of Postman. If not, then let me say it is a great tool to test REST APIs against Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) among other things. When using Postman with web services you quickly learn an OAuth2 Access Token is required in order to successfully be authorized to complete a REST call. Each time a request is sent you can either manually request an Access Token setting the Authorization...

Introduction The Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) Passive-Alias Extract may be used for data replication between source databases located on servers in untrusted security zones and target database servers in trusted security zones. In this article we'll configure Alias Extracts on a trusted zone OGG instance that will interact with Passive Extracts on untrusted zone OGG instances for data capture and delivery to the trusted zone database server. The concepts, scripts, and information...

One of the responsibilities of Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) is to serve as an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server. As an Authorization Server, IDCS issues access and refresh tokens to OAuth Clients. OAuth Clients use these tokens to access various resources on Resource Servers on-behalf of Resource Owners. OAuth Clients are things like web or mobile applications and Resource Owners are users who use those applications for various purposes. This goal of this article is to...

Introduction This blog provides steps to configure SSL certificate in Oracle API Gateway node's trust store. It becomes necessary when API gateway in installed in "production" mode. Without SSL certificate you won't able to deploy an API to gateway node, because in production mode gateway must communicate with APIP management tier over SSL. Another use-case is when backend service is SSL enabled. We will discuss both the scenarios in this blog. 1. Configure certificate in...

Introduction Identity Cloud Services (IDCS) 18.2.4 introduced an all new authentication API that allows customers to build their own login application. Those new APIs allow you to do username and password authentication, federation, social login and multi factor authentication. The API is implemented as a state machine that steps through the initial authentication and then proceeds through Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) if needed. The state machine also handles enrolling...

Secure Java coding is a vast topic; therefore, this article is just an introduction to it. I will discuss the most frequent attacks, mitigations, and some traps that developers usually fall into either because of partial or complete lack of familiarity with Java security. Basic Coding Practices Before dealing with specific security attacks, let's review some basic coding practices that should be used in all programming languages: Input validation Insufficient input...

The OCI Administrators group grants manage acess to all resources in all compartments including the root compartment. So, any member of this group is considered a super user. Is a normal practice to keep Administrators members to a small number of users and create additional groups/policies to restrict access to specific compartments. If there's a requirement to have policies at the root level that grant specific permissions to all compartments except the root compartment...
