Set Up Oracle Identity Cloud Service for authenticating your VBCS Application

By default the security policy defined is set up to use Fusion for sign in. For DCS applications created with VB, the policy should be changed to have IDCS provide the sign in. This is true for when using the DCS Custom Sign In components.

After this change, the new policy defined for VB will be for all VB applications. Optionally you can configure Identity Cloud Service. If there are VB applications embedded in Fusion, these should be explicitly listed in a new policy or added to the default policy.

This means two policies are created, one for IDCS sign in (user name-password) and one for Fusion sign in (Oracle Fusion Application). The non embedded Visual Applications should be selected to be used for IDCS sign in and the embedded Visual Applications should be selected for Fusion sign in respectively.

1. In your web browser, enter: https://cloud.oracle.com and sign in to your Oracle Cloud account.
   Note: This step is optional, and only required on your first use.
