Verifying the Integration

Use this section to verify that SSO works when initiated from Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IdP Initiated SSO).

Verifying Identity Provider Initiated SSO from Oracle Identity Cloud Service

  1. Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Services My Profile console: https://<IDCS-Service-Instance>.identity.oraclecloud.com/ui/v1/myconsole.

  2. Log in using credentials for a user that is assigned to the CloudPassage app. Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays a shortcut to CloudPassage under My Apps.

    This confirms that SSO that is initiated from Oracle Identity Cloud Service works.

Troubleshooting

Use this section to locate solutions to common integration issues.

Known Issues

CloudPassage displays the message “There is a problem with your single sign-on account. First Name required. Last Name required. Email required. Email must be a valid email address. Please contact your administrator."

Cause: The email attribute sent by Oracle Identity Cloud Service during SSO doesn't match any existing user in CloudPassage.

Solution: Ensure that the user that you assign to the CloudPassage app has an account in both Oracle Identity Cloud Service and CloudPassage with the same email address.

CloudPassage displays the message “You are not authorized to access the app. Contact your system administrator."

Cause 1: The SAML 2.0 integration between the Oracle Identity Cloud Service CloudPassage app and CloudPassage is deactivated or the administrator has revoked the user's access to CloudPassage.

Solution 1:

  • Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service administration console, select Applications, and then CloudPassage.
  • Click Activate, and then click Activate Application. Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays a confirmation message.

Cause 2: The administrator revokes access for the user at the same time that the user tries to access the CloudPassage app using Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Solution 2: Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service administration console, select Applications, CloudPassage, Users, and then click Assign to re-assign the user.
