In some scenarios if Customer is already using IDP (Identity Provider), they would like to use same for authentication for all Cloud and On-Premise applications..Some of the known IDPs are Microsoft AD, OpenLDAP, Okta, Ping Federate.
OIC Application's basic Authentication is managed within IDCS (Identity Cloud Service).
This document covers how OIC application's login authentication can be done using Ping Federate and Authorization can be managed in IDCS.
Please note that Ping Federate Configuration are separate and not part of this document..
Key Features covered in Document
1) Setup federation of IDCS and Ping Federate for Authentication.
2) User and Application Authorization for OIC using IDCS GUI and REST API.
Brief
about Federation Architecture and Details of Components
1) Ping Federate:
It serves as Authentication authority which allows user to access application securely. In this scenario Ping Federate is located on Premise. We shall use it as universal IDP for only authentication.
2) IDCS:
IDCS manage user identities and perform access management.It integrate with cloud and On-Premise applications.
It provides integration with any third party IDP that support SAML based protocol.
By setting up federation between Ping Federate and Oracle IDCS, it enable users' access to applications that are authenticated by Ping Federate.
3) OIC:
OIC is integration application which helps in design, monitor, and manage connections between applications. It helps Automate & Manage business Process and Build Applications Visually. We shall setup Single Sign On for OIC application.
