Determine User Authentication Solution

Before you integrate Oracle Sales and Oracle CPQ, determine whether you want to use SAML or OpenID Connect single sign-on (SSO) for your user authentication solution.

Integrate with SAML SSO

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open federation standard that allows an identity provider (IdP) to authenticate users and then pass an authentication token to another application known as a service provider (SP). SAML enables the SP to operate without having to perform its own authentication and to pass the identity to integrate internal and external users.

Integrate with OpenID Connect SSO

As an alternative setup to SAML SSO, you can integrate Sales with OpenID Connect (OIDC), so that you can use single sign-on with Oracle Identity and Access Management (IAM)'s Identity Domains (formerly IDCS).

OIDC is an extension of the existing OAuth Provider configuration available for use with IAM's Identity Domains. OIDC adds an identity layer to OAuth 2.0 that enables a federated SSO solution between Oracle and custom applications configured in IAM.

Complete the Integration

You can find the Sales-specific steps for the integration in the topic, Create the Integration URLs.

See Construct the URL Strings for information about how to construct the URLs needed in the integration.
