Procedure

  1. In Oracle, create a user account you'll provide to Lightcast so they can authenticate to your instance and send their skills.
    1. On the Tools > Security Console > Users page, add a user account.
    2. Set Associated Person Type to None.
    3. Enter the appropriate user details so you can identify the account. Give the account a meaningful user name, such as Lightcast.
    4. Create a job role and include the Use REST Service - Talent Skill Catalogs privilege.
    5. Grant this role to the new user account. The role allows this account to use the necessary Oracle APIs to receive skills from Lightcast.
  2. Enable the Lightcast external provider using the Configure External Providers task on the My Client Groups > Learning page or My Client Groups > Profiles page.
    1. Configure the Lightcast provider.
    2. Enter the user account created in Step 1 and validate.
  3. Share the user name created in Oracle with the Lightcast account team. This account team can also help you with any related Lightcast setup questions. They'll provide the below information:
    • A public certificate so they can authenticate to the Oracle APIs to send skills.
    • The trusted issuer name for their JWT token, it needs to exactly match the value used when configuring JWT.
  4. In Oracle, add Lightcast's public certificate to authenticate incoming requests from Lightcast. For detailed steps, see Configuring Oracle API Authentication for Content Provider (document ID 3041374.1) on My Oracle Support.
