Introduction This document will walk you through how to enable SSL SQLNet connection on GGCS to connect to an Oracle Database. Enabling SSL communication between GGCS and the Oracle database is achieved by configuring credential wallet on both GGCS and the database which will store certificates and by modifying the configuration files used for SQLNet communication. The certificate to be used for SSL communication requires to be signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA),...

Overview Last year at OOW, I conducted Hands On Lab on Fusion integration with IDCS. We had a full room of audience with loads of questions. That inspired me to write this blog. One of the most common requirements as Fusion is deployed in OPC is, how to centrally manage users and implement Single Sign-On between Fusion and rest of the OPC services. IDCS (IDentity Cloud Service) is security backbone for all the OPC services. It is Oracle's Identity service in the cloud. It can...

Introduction In Part 3 of 4 – SSSD Linux Authentication: Implementation Step-by-Step Guideline I covered all the necessary step-by-step details on deploying SSSD, but nothing ever seems to go perfect the first time does it. This is why I have included a final Part 4 that covers known problems I came across, though there could be more, and then troubleshooting tips I learned. These are all things I learned and want to share with you so that your SSSD implementation is...

Introduction In Part 1 of 4 - SSSD Linux Authentication: Introduction and Architecture I covered an introduction on SSSD and an architecture overview with details on the flow of how it all works. In this part I am going to cover the LDAP Identity Store details required for SSSD. LDAP Identity Store Schema Requirements for SSSD A UNIX user account typically requires a uid, a gid, a home directory, a login shell, and a password. Minimally, a uid (User ID) and gid (Group ID)...

Introduction This article provides the details needed to solve a real use case used to allow a user to authenticate to an Oracle Public Cloud Linux server in SaaS using a single or multiple LDAP Identity store that could be Active Directory 2012R2 (AD) or better, Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Oracle Unified Directory (OUD), Oracle Directory Services Enterprise Edition (ODSEE), or OpenLDAP. The use case stems from the need to authenticate and authorize users to OPC Linux...

Introduction OK, maybe "Ultimate" could be stretching it, but it caught your eye so you can be the judge. This post is part of a larger series on Oracle Access Manager 11g called Oracle Access Manager Academy. An index to the entire series with links to each of the separate posts is available here. Though OAM11g is in the title, this article should also apply to OAM12c(12.2.1.3.0.) since it still uses 11g Webgates. In my previous post OAM 11g Webgate Tuning, I covered a...

Introduction OAuth 2.0 has become very popular within the mobile development community mainly because it is simple to implement and the tokens are fairly compact. There are various implementation patterns to choose from and it is very important to choose the right one to make sure that the solution is secure. In this blog post I want to describe how mobile clients can get access tokens from Oracle Identity Cloud Service securely so that the identity service protected APIs can...
