Detaching Credential Collector Configuration

The detached credential collector (DCC) configuration is a logical part of the OAM server and acts as a front-channel communication endpoint of the OAM server. It submits the credential request directly to the Webgate, while in ECC, the credential request is submitted to the OAM server.

The detached credential collector also:

  • Stands alone, that is, it is detached from the OAM server and does not require an application server.

  • Supports RSA SecurID pass code verification.

  • Works similar to the Authenticating Webgate with greater flexibility for server scale-out and attack resilience, credential collection UI construction, flow, and life cycle management.

The detached credential collector was introduced in OAM 11gR2 release and it is further extended to OAM 12c.
