Introduction I worked with a number of customers to resolve issues with their E-Business Suite single sign-on setup using the IDCS asserter solution and saw a pattern in the misconfigurations causing these similar types of issues. In this blog, I want to share the basic EBS asserter flows to understand the runtime better and the commonly faced issues along with their resolutions. I hope this post will save you a lot of time and effort should you have any of these issues or...

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 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 This post discusses the different strategies customers have to migrate Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) artifacts to another IDCS instance. Now with ‘multi-stripe' support more customers may have the need to migrate/sync artifacts between stripes. There are four methods described below each supporting specific use cases. Three of these methods will ‘copy’ the artifacts to the target system and one that will preserve the GUIDs which basically performs a clone....

In a blog post a couple of months ago I described how the OAuth Device flow works and gave some general and hypothetical examples of when you might use it. Just a couple of weeks ago I happened upon a real world use case for it and had a chance to put IDCS' Device Code support to actual use. In most cases when you log into a Unix server over SSH you should be using a key pair - you upload your public key to the server and then the ssh client uses your private key to prove to...

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...
