Before You Begin with Oracle API Platform Cloud Service

Before you begin using Oracle API Platform Cloud Service , you need a subscription to Oracle Identity Cloud Service. A basic subscription is included, but you may want to consider a subscription to a higher tier. If you want to host your gateway nodes in Oracle’s cloud, you should have a subscription to either Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute.

• Oracle Identity Cloud Service

  Oracle API Platform Cloud Service uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service for identity management. The Foundation tier is included. This tier includes basic user and group management features, but lacks the following features:

  • Identity Synchronization

  • User Self-Registration

  • Self-Service Password Reset

  • Self-Service Access Request

  • SSO for Third-Party Cloud Apps

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  • External Identity Provider Federation

  • Social Authentication

  • User Provisioning and Synchronization for Third-Party Cloud Apps

  • Oracle Identity Manager Connector for Oracle Identity Cloud Service

  • Enterprise SLA (99.95%)

  Depending on your use case, you may require a license to one of the other pricing tiers. For example, users managed in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service Basic tier identity domain typically correspond to application developers outside of your company who subscribe to APIs you manage and publish. Users managed in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service Standard tier identity domain typically correspond to API Managers, Gateway Managers, other users who manage resources with Oracle API Platform Cloud Service , and internal application developers.
