A Checklist for Success with TLS Why We Need This Despite the full feature sets and capabilities that Oracle builds into their software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud applications, there are still going to be occasional customers with business requirements that cannot be satisfied solely with a single SaaS subscription. In these cases, it is possible to extend SaaS products by building integrations with other SaaS products, platform-as-a-service (PaaS) components, and/or...

Updates Feb/04/2021 Note that in this post we describe how to setup SAML federation by explicitly creating an enterprise application in Azure AD. This is no longer needed and should be avoided, as Azure has added a gallery application for IDCS. It is named "Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console", but it actually has the ability to provision users and groups to IDCS as well as to configure SAML federation with IDCS. Instructions for using Azure's gallery application are...

Introduction The purpose of this blog post is to describe how to do the Integration of APEX(on-premise) with Oracle Identity Cloud Service(IDCS). The integration described in this Post relies on APEX using the Oracle Rest Data Services(ORDS) deployed on Weblogic.

Overview Social login is an important use case for B2C applications be it marketing or eCommerce. It is a form of sign-in/login where a user uses social network services like Facebook, Twitter or Google to login to the service/application. Social login services like Facebook act as Identity Provider and the service that the user wanted to access acts as Service Provider or Relying party. If user does not have an account on the service, then depending on service provider's...

The IDCS Connector is an OIM REST based connector for Oracle's Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). In this blog post we will look at use case scenarios for hybrid cloud solutions, that span both the Oracle Public Cloud and an on-premise Oracle identity management deployment.This blog post aims to cover the most common scenarios from an identity governance perspective.Porting identities from an on-premise system to IDCS is one such scenario and can be addressed by two options...

Introduction The Multi-Factor Authentication part I post described the initial MFA configuration, the enrollment process and second factor authentication with the Mobile Authenticator One-Time Password. In this second post, we will go over the other factors: security questions, notifications, text messages and bypass code – and the additional security constraints for MFA in general. Multi-Factor Authentication Settings In the first post we already discussed the basic settings...

Introduction Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) has just released version 17.2.2 in May/2017 and with it a cool new feature: Multi-Factor Authentication, or in short, MFA. MFA is a method of authentication that requires the user to present more than one piece of evidence - or factors: one-time pass codes, SMS, security questions, etc - to an authentication mechanism before being granted access. As users becomes more connected, accessing their accounts from anywhere and from...

This post shows a way to make REST API calls to Oracle Identity Cloud Service from an Oracle Database using PL/SQL. The idea is that a PL/SQL application can manage and search for user and group entities directly in Identity Cloud Service. In the sample code we'll see how to obtain an access token from Identity Cloud Service and make calls to create users, query group membership, and retrieve user profile attributes. The PL/SQL code uses APEX 5.1 with the packages...

Introduction Federation is a well-known pattern and has been discussed at length on this blog. Almost every vendor or cloud provider out there supports Federation and it’s been around for quite some time now. In this blog post, I will talk about Federation again, but this time in combination with Weblogic's Virtual Users and Groups. What that means, in practical terms, is that users and groups won’t have to be synchronized between the Identity Provider (Oracle Identity Cloud...
