Creating a Connection to Use OAuth 2.0 Authentication

Creating an OAuth connection provides a secure method of connecting Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM environments if the identity domain of the target environment is configured to accept OAuth connections. See these information sources for configuring oAuth for your environment.

• Configuring Connection to Fusion Applications REST APIs in Getting Started Guide for Administrators
• Authentication for Cloud EPM REST APIs in REST APIs

A public certificate (.crt) and matching private key (.key) are required to sign authentication requests. You will need to install them while creating the connection.

To configure an OAuth-based connection:

1. Sign in to the source environment.

2. From the Home page, click Tools, and then Connections.

3. Click Create and then click Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management.
4. In Connection Name enter a name for this connection.
5. In Description, enter an optional description.
6. For Authentication Type, select OAuth Authentication.
7. In URL, enter the base URL of the target environment.
8. In Identity Domain URL, enter the URL of the identity domain used by the target environment.
9. In Client ID, enter the client ID of the confidential application configured in the identity domain of the target environment.
10. In Scope, the name of the scope defined for the confidential application configured in the identity domain of the target environment.
11. Next to Certificate, click Browse and select the public certificate (.crt) to establish handshake with the target environment.
12. Next to Private Key, click Browse and select the private key (.key) matching the public certificate that you selected in the preceding step.
13. Click Validate to verify that the connection works.
14. Click Save and Close.
