Connect to Identity Cloud Service from the Service Console

When you create a cluster that uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) for authentication, an IDCS management application is created for the cluster. You can connect to the UI for this IDCS application from the service console for Big Data Cloud.

To connect to the IDCS application for the cluster:

  1. Open the service console. See Access the Service Console for Big Data Cloud.
  2. Click the name of the IDCS-enabled cluster.

    An overview page with cluster details is displayed. For information about the details on this page, see Service Console: Instance Overview Page.

  3. Expand Show more.
  4. Click the link next to IDCS Application and log in with your IDCS credentials.

    An instance of IDCS opens on the Application tab and lists cluster details.

The IDCS console has the following tabs for the cluster application:

  • Details - Displays information about the cluster application, including the application ID.

  • Configuration - Displays configuration information about the cluster application, including the client ID and client secret, primary audience, and scope. This information will be needed to make REST API calls to the cluster. See Make REST API Calls to Clusters That Use Identity Cloud Service.

  • Application Roles - Displays roles. There is currently just one role: BDCSCE-Administrators.

  • Groups - Displays groups.

  • Users - Displays users.

Note:

Oracle Identity Cloud Service is used just for cluster authentication. Defining roles for a cluster and assigning users and groups is not yet supported.
