Authentication Options

At log in, the add-in uses the catalog's authentication setting to determine how to log in.

The add-in supports five authentication options:

• Default: At login, the add-in pings an Oracle Cloud Application anti-CSRF servlet endpoint. If the ping succeeds, Oracle Fusion Applications Token Relay is used. If the ping fails, Basic authentication is used instead.
• Basic Access Authentication: See Basic Authentication.
• Oracle Fusion Applications Token Relay: See Oracle Fusion Applications Token Relay Authentication.
• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code (PKCE): See OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE.
• No Authentication: There is no prompt for credentials. No authentication-related headers are added to requests.

You can choose an authentication method when creating a new catalog. You can also change it later.

For information about how to configure your authentication settings, see Set an Authentication Method for a REST Service.
