Retrieving Oracle Identity Cloud Service parameters

When working with the Oracle Unity platform, you may need to collect any or all of the following Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) parameters:

  • Client ID

  • Client Secret

  • IDCS app scope

  • Token URL

Required IDCS privileges

To collect IDCS parameters, you'll need administrator access to Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

To confirm if you have the required privileges, you'll need to be able to do the following:

  • Access https:[IDCS URL]/ui/v1/adminconsole

  • View the Oracle Cloud Services item in the left-hand navigation menu

If you can't access the URL or can't view the Oracle Cloud Services menu item, you'll need to follow up with a user that has administrator access to retrieve IDCS parameters.

Retrieve IDCS parameters

Complete the following steps to retrieve IDCS parameters.

To collect IDCS parameters:

  1. Log in to the Oracle Identify Cloud Service.
  2. Go to Applications and select the Oracle Unity application.
  3. Click the Configuration tab and show General information.
  4. Copy the Client ID.
  5. An image of the Client ID

  6. For Client Secret, click Show Secret and copy the client secret.
  7. An image of the Client secret

  8. Show Resources.
  9. Copy the Primary Audience. Then, concatenate the primary audience with cxunity. This is the IDCS app scope.
  10. Depending on the type of instance provisioned, the primary audience may be in one of the following formats:

    • https://example.cxunity.ocs.oraclecloud.com/ (IDCS app scope: https://example.cxunity.ocs.oraclecloud.com/cxunity)
    • urn:opc:entitlementid=123456789 (IDCS app scope: urn:opc:entitlementid=123456789cxunity)

    An image of the Primary audience

  11. Copy the IDCS URL from your browser address bar until oraclecloud.com and add /oauth2/v1/token to the end. This is the Token URL. For example, if the IDCS URL is https://idcs-example.identity.oraclecloud.com, the Token URL is https://idcs-example.identity.oraclecloud.com/oauth2/v1/token.
