Externalized Authentication (Single Sign-On)

You can configure SSO to enable a SAML 2.0 compliant identity provider (IdP) authenticate users against Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud environments.

Configuring SSO helps you satisfy the requirement to ensure that users are no longer able to sign in to EPM Cloud after they leave the organization. Because users use the same SSO credentials that they use to access the network resources of their organization to sign into EPM Cloud and then seamlessly access other cloud environments configured using the same IdP, the process of removing access to EPM Cloud is completed as soon as you remove access to your network environment.

Communication between Oracle Access Manager, the default EPM Cloud service provider, and your SAML 2.0 IdP is secured using the MD5 algorithm.
