Configuring Push Notification Challenge with Oracle Mobile Authenticator in the Oracle Advanced Authentication Self-Service Portal.

Introduction

This tutorial shows you how to use the Self-Service Portal to configure Oracle Mobile Authenticator (OMA) Push Notifications with Oracle Advanced Authentication (OAA), for the purposes of multi-factor authentication.

In this tutorial Oracle Mobile Authenticator is installed on an Android device.

Note: If using iOS devices, the Oracle Mobile Authenticator application has to be customized before it can be used.
