Secure Applications

Oracle Application Container Cloud Service can use Oracle Identity Cloud Service to authenticate administrators and application users. During deployment, you can create a security application in Oracle Identity Cloud Service to control who can access your application in Oracle Application Container Cloud Service.

When you deploy a Java SE 7 or 8, Node.js, or PHP application in Oracle Application Container Cloud Service, you can secure your application using Oracle Identity Cloud Service with one of these types of authentication:

  • Basic — Prompts for a username and password set up in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

  • OAuth — Creates a corresponding application in Oracle Identity Cloud Service to control who can access your application, and redirects to Oracle Identity Cloud Service for authentication.

If you are using the REST API, setting the authType form parameter to basic or oauth is equivalent to selecting Basic or OAuth in the web interface. See Create an Application in REST API for Managing Applications.
