Introduction I'm going to start this blog by making 3 bold claims: The future is Serverless! API gateways are the best way to manage and expose Serverless endpoints to the internet! Anything facing the internet should be behind a WAF! Let's do a quick review on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's offerings that address these claims. Serverless: Oracle offers Oracle Functions which is based on the open-source Fn Project: is an open source, container native, serverless platform that...

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 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.

Introduction Companies usually have some Identity and Access Management solution deployed on premises to manage users and roles to secure access to their corporate applications. As business move to the cloud, companies will, most likely, want to leverage the investment already made into such IAM solutions and integrate them with the new SaaS or PaaS applications that are being added to their portfolio. Oracle Public Cloud and its Shared Identity Management services (SIM)...

The OPSS User and Role API (oracle.security.idm) provides an application with access to identity data (users and roles), without the application having to know anything about the underlying identity store (such as LDAP connection details). For new development, we no longer recommend the use of the OPSS User and Role API - use the Identity Governance Framework (IGF) APIs instead. However, if you already have code which uses the User and Role API, that code is still supported...

Introduction Every WebLogic Server installation comes with SSL support.

Introduction You have deployed Oracle BPM and decided to run some load tests against it. You're concerned, among other things, about the behavior of your backend LDAP server under peak times, whether it's going to be able to handle the load or not. You check the security providers settings in Weblogic Server and see you have an LDAP Authenticator (or some specialization, like OVD Authenticator, for instance) with an ldap pool size set to 50 connections. But your test reveals...

Introduction Recently a customer asked me how to import his private key and certificate into an Oracle HTTP Server Wallet. The customer generated a CSR outside the OHS Wallet Manager, using Open SSL, and sent it to a CA to get his certificates issued by them. Unfortunately, the Wallet Manager only allows you to import certificates which were created for a CSR generated by the Wallet itself. Despite this minor limitation, there is a workaround to get your private key,...

Introduction I've recently came across a question in one of our internal mailing lists where a person was under the impression that he would have to write code to propagate the identity when making a web service call using OWSM policies. My answer was something like: "depending on the type of your client you may have to write some very small piece of code to attach a policy, but you should not write code at all to either retrieve the executing client identity or to do the...
