Introduction So now you have a cloud account and you need to start on-boarding employees to manage and administrator all the different services within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). What do you do next? When deciding how to on-board and manage users it is important to get this right. Setting up your identity posture will lay the foundation for securing OCI artifacts as well as your applications in the cloud. This post will guide you through with recommendations to help...

Introduction In this blog I want to discuss about an interesting usecase that showcases how IDCS Appgate can be used to enable SSO security for legacy applications when migrating to the cloud. Many customers who are looking to migrate their workloads into the cloud find that they have legacy systems in their portfolio that are not necessarily amenable to modernisation. An example of one of these legacy systems is Oracle Discoverer. Oracle BI Discoverer is a business...

Introduction Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) supports Federation (SAML 2.0) with third party Identity Providers (IdP). This post specifically describes how to federate with Oracle Access Manager (OAM) as the IdP and describes how OCI federation works with OAM. First, I highly recommended that you read my colleague's post 'Streamline Enterprise Access Management and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Access Management with Federated Group Mapping'. Olaf gives a great overview on...

Introduction Lift and shift of Oracle Applications from on premise to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure requires careful planning and enterprises want the same or higher level of security when moving their workloads to the cloud. OCI provides a number of features for securing application deployments/network and administrative access to these deployments. Check out the OCI security best practices white paper available here...

IDCS (IDentity Cloud Service) is Oracle's next-gen Identity solution built in the cloud for the cloud. It is fully standards compliant and implements various standards like SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), OAuth, OIDC (OpenID Connect), etc. Those standards help customers integrate with other products implementing those same standard. One use case that I came across, a few times recently, is integrating Okta as Identity Provider to IDCS using SAML. I thought, I...

For other A-Team articles by Richard, click here Introduction Customers may want to restrict access to their Oracle Cloud Services to a set of IP ranges, for instance to only allow connections coming from their corporate office. That type of restriction is not possible within Oracle Analytics Cloud itself, but it possible to set up using the Identity Cloud Service. This functionality requires the 'Foundation' level for Identity Cloud Service. For more information on the...

Introduction In Part 1: Automate getting an Identity Cloud Service Access Token in Postman I covered using a Pre-request script to automate getting an Access Token from Identity Cloud Service in order to successfully be authorized to send REST API requests. Then in Part 2: Using Postman Runner with Identity Cloud Service I built on this Pre-request script to enhance the script to get data from a CSV that would play a role in using Collection Runner, and in addition brought in...

Introduction In the last article, Part 1: Automate getting an Identity Cloud Service Access Token in Postman, I explained how using a Pre-request Script can automate getting an access token so when a request is sent to Identity Cloud Service it just works, a big time saver. In this article I am going build on using that Pre-request script and add Tests scripts in a way that we can chain requests in a collection and automate all the requests at once using Postman Collection...

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...
