Introduction This article is to help expand on topics of integration with Oracle’s Cloud Identity Management service called Identity Cloud Services. Identity Cloud Services delivers core essentials around identity and access management through a multi-tenant Cloud platform. As part of the Identity Cloud Services framework, audit events are captured for all significant events, changes, and actions, which are sent to a database table. I previously wrote an article to...

Introduction Oracle Fusion-based SaaS Cloud environments can be extended in many ways. While customization is the standard activity to setup a SaaS environment for your business needs, chances are that you want to extend your SaaS for more sophisticated use cases. In general this is not a problem and Oracle Cloud offers a great number of possible PaaS components for this. However, user and login experience can be a challenge. Luckily, many Oracle Cloud PaaS offerings use a...

In a previous post, I discussed some general topics relating to the usage of HTTPS and certificates within Oracle Public Cloud. In this follow up piece, I will work through a concrete example and explain how to set up a Java Cloud Service instance in such a way that Integration Cloud Service can consume a service deployed to that platform over HTTPS. The use case we have in mind here is a simple one. A custom REST-based service is deployed to WebLogic on JCS (I'll use a...

Introduction While working on my previous post "Configure SAML 2 for SSO with Oracle BAM Dashboard", I noticed an issue. After SSO to BAM happens from mywebapp1, if I reload the mywebapp1 page, I get prompted for login again. A little debugging pointed me to the session overwrite issue, in which I will get into more detail next. This issue puts a significantly limitation on WebLogic SAML SSO. While it has been documented several times out on the internet, a solution to this...

Introduction In a recent customer POC, there is requirement for SSO between an OBIEE dashboard and an Oracle BAM dashboard. SAML is a potential candidate for this kind of point to point SSO. After some googling, I was able to find blogs on configuring SAML1.1 SSO by Vikrant Sawant and SAML 2.0 SSO by Puneeth, but nothing with BAM. So with the guidance of these blogs, I started my own tests with BAM. After several trial and error attempts, I managed to get SAML2 SSO working...

The shift to cloud computing offers a huge number of benefits, but also does introduce some potential risks; the most obvious of these is the need to enable integrations - and by implication, the need to transmit sensitive data - across public networks. Fortunately, we already have a pretty good set of standards and techniques for doing this, with the HTTPS (Secure HTTP) protocol taking care of the grunt-work of encryption and server authentication at the transport layer. The...

Introduction On a previous post, I described the usage of OAM's SAML Identity Assertion in the context of SPA (Single Page Applications) and how easy it is to take advantage of it for securely propagating the end user identity from the client to the backend services. However, that post is written with the assumption that both the JavaScript code and the REST services are protected by the same WebGate. Speaking in HTTP protocol terms, we say they have same origin. Modern web...

Introduction When you look at the list of Technologies listed in ODI 12.2.1 Topology, you can see a new entry: SOAP Web Services. Prior to having this Technology defined here, developers connecting to Web Services in ODI had to enter all the connectivity details in their packages when they designed the Web Service call. Now they can predefine the connection parameters and security policies, and then focus separately on the implementation of the Web Service call. We will see...
