What do You Need to Use the E-Business Suite Asserter

Verify which services, roles, components, and information are required to perform the configurations to integrate your Oracle E-Business Suite environment with Oracle Identity Cloud Service using the Identity Cloud Service E-Business Asserter.

Before You Begin

Before you begin using E-Business Suite Asserter, understand how to enable it, and how it works with other components.

  • Enable E-Business Suite Asserter. This is Standard License feature. To learn about these features, see Standard License Tier Features for Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
  • If your Oracle E-Business Suite is integrated with Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Internet Directory, E-Business Suite AccessGate, or uses any other SSO profile, then remove the integration between these components and Oracle E-Business Suite, and then restart the servers before using the Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter.
  • Know what’s supported. All Oracle E-Business modules which use browser-based login will work with E-Business Suite Asserter for SSO. Excel-based login of Web ADI is supported. Mobile Apps for EBS, such as approvals and expenses, are supported. Modules which do not use browser-based login, such as Mobile Web Applications (MWA) and E-Signature, are not supported.
