Integrating Oracle Workflow Directory Services with Local Workflow Users

If you plan to use the standalone version of Oracle Workflow and the users and roles of your directory repository are not stored in any existing database tables, you can enter your users and roles information in the WF_LOCAL tables and map your directory service to these tables.

Oracle Workflow provides a script you can use to setup the views. Use the wfdircsv.sql script in the Oracle Workflow sql subdirectory on your server. This script creates three views. You can customize the views in this script to incorporate the users and roles from your custom directory repository.

The originating system in the WF_USERS view is called WF_LOCAL_USERS, and the originating system ID is 0.

The WF_ROLES view includes all users in WF_LOCAL_USERS and all roles defined in WF_LOCAL_ROLES. The originating system is WF_LOCAL_ROLES and the originating system ID is 0.

The WF_USER_ROLES view consists of the names and originating system information of both users and roles in WF_USERS and WF_ROLES.
