1. Migrate to Oracle Mobile Hub
  2. Security Configuration (MCS Only)

4 Security Configuration (MCS Only)

The way security is handled in MCS is very different compared to how it is done in Mobile Hub. Mobile Hub uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) as the identity and access management infrastructure and it provides Mobile Hub applications with:

  • Identity and access management
  • Tokens

Depending on the complexity of your existing Oracle Mobile Cloud configurations there may be additional tasks you have to perform so that your mobile applications continue to work once you have migrated to Mobile Hub.

At a minimum, you should migrate:

  • Users
  • Application role memberships
  • Admin users

Migrate Users

To migrate users, first, export them from the traditional cloud accounts. Then, modify the CSV file that contains the users you exported so that you can import them into Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Next, import the users into Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

When you're migrating users to cloud accounts with Identity Cloud Service, you may want users to use the passwords from their traditional cloud accounts. To do this, change the minimum length of the custom password policy in Oracle Identity Cloud Service to eight characters.

Export users from Traditional Cloud Accounts

  1. Sign in to the Infrastructure Classic Console of the traditional cloud account that contains the users that you want to export.
  2. Click the Users tab. The Identity Cloud Service console appears.
  3. Click Users.
  4. Select the users that you want to export.
  5. Click Export. The users will be exported into a CSV file.
  6. In the dialog box that appears, save the CSV file to your machine.

Edit the Users File

  1. Open the CSV file in an appropriate editor and make the following changes:
    • Rename the User Login column to User ID.
    • Rename the Email column to Work Email.
  2. Save the updated CSV file.

Import Users into Oracle Identity Cloud Service

  1. Sign in to the Infrastructure Classic Console of the cloud account with Identity Cloud Service.
  2. Click the Users tab. The Identity Cloud Service console appears.
  3. Expand the Navigation Drawer, and then click Users.
  4. Click Import.
  5. In the Import Users dialog box, click Browse to locate and select your CSV file.
  6. Verify that the path and name of the CSV file you selected appear in the Select a file to import field.
  7. Click Import.
  8. After Oracle Identity Cloud Service evaluates all users, review the job results.

    • If the job can be processed immediately, then a dialog box appears with the Job ID link for your import job. Click the link and review the details that appear on the Jobs page.

    • If the job can't be processed immediately, then a message appears with a Schedule ID in it. Copy that Schedule ID, and use it to search for the job on the Jobs page. The job will appear when processing completes. Go to step 9.

  9. In the Jobs page, locate the job that you want to view, and then click View Details.

    A table displays the first names, last names, email addresses, user names, and statuses of the users that you imported into Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

  10. Review the details that appear on the Jobs page.

    This page shows how many users you imported, how many users you imported successfully, and how many users can't be imported because of a system error.

Each user that you successfully imported receives a Welcome email notification. The user can use the link in this notification to access their account and set a password for it.
