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...

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...

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...

As businesses move to the cloud there is a high demand for securing/protecting their HTTP resources from unauthorized access. There are several approaches to protecting these resources which include SAML for SOAP service, OAuth for REST services, HTTP basic for both, and sometimes home grown proprietary mechanisms. It may not be widely known yet, but all Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) REST endpoints are OAuth protected and can be triggered from a client using OAuth 2.0...
