Introduction In my Developing SaaS Extensions using VBCS and Helidon Micro-Services part 1, I focused on the creation of a Helidon based microservice which we tested locally. This blog post takes the reading through to the next step which is to deploy the microservice on Oracle Kubernetes Service and then explain how this service can be called from VBCS in a way that the microservice is aware of the user (aka identity propagation from VBCS to the microservice) In the example...

Introduction I recently completed a blog post on how to extend Oracle SaaS using VBCS and Oracle Functions and am in the process of publishing the code. Whilst I was writing this piece of code I learnt a lot about Functions and ran into many situations which I think a lot of other developers would run into . This blog post collates them into a single blog post (which I may update regularly) and Im hoping it is useful to you all. How to expose Functions as REST Services...

Introduction Whilst building a demo recently I had to store an oAuth client secret somewhere for Oracle Function to work properly. I immediately decided to store it in the Oracle Functions configurations section and thought all was well. The below image shows the configuration section for my application and as you can see both the IDCS client id and client secret are stored. However after a security review with my good friend (Olaf) we realised that whilst the data is...

Introduction This blog post details how you can develop a SaaS extension using VBCS and Helidon microservices and most importantly pass the user identity from the SaaS to the microservice so it can be used for data security etc. In a previous blog post of mine I commented that whilst VBCS can be used directly against Oracle SaaS, and it works very well BTW, it is often recommended that you build a backend service to manage the interaction between SaaS and PaaS. This can be...

Secure Java coding is a vast topic; therefore, this article is just an introduction to it. I will discuss the most frequent attacks, mitigations, and some traps that developers usually fall into either because of partial or complete lack of familiarity with Java security. Basic Coding Practices Before dealing with specific security attacks, let's review some basic coding practices that should be used in all programming languages: Input validation Insufficient input...
