Using the CSF Key in Fusion Middleware Control

The Oracle RightNow adapter enables use of authentication keys (or CSF Keys) to securely store and manage credentials at design-time. This releases you from the need to manually manage security policies for the integration and also avoids the need to store any trace of the actual credentials in the design-time projects.

Follow the steps below to configure the CSF key in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control:

  1. Log in to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to WebLogic Domain, as shown in Figure A-1.
