TCC Security

TCC Security allows system administrators to manage the TCC Certificate Authentication feature.

Oracle supports the signing of requests and responses between Taleo Connect Client (TCC) and the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition zone. Both requests and responses get signed through the TCC Security feature. To activate communication signing, a certificate must be generated in TCC and imported in the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition zone. A certificate must also be generated in the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition zone and imported in TCC. Both certificates are needed for the signing feature to work.

When requests and responses are sent by both TCC and Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition, they are signed by the sender. The signature is validated by the receiver before processing the payload.

To use the TCC Security feature, a private setting must be enabled. Once enabled, the system administrator can access the feature under Configuration > Security > TCC Security.

The TCC and TEE Certificate Management page is divided into two sections:

• TEE Certificates

• TCC Certificates

TEE Certificates

You can generate, delete, and download TEE certificates. When generating a TEE certificate, you must set the certificate’s validity start date and end date. An alias is also required to identify the certificate. Only one certificate can be valid at a given time. You must create validity periods that do not overlap. Once the certificate is generated, you download it. To complete the certificate setup, the TCC administrator accesses the Certificate Management feature in TCC and imports the TEE certificate. For instructions on how to import the TEE certificate in TCC, see the Connect Client User Guide.

TCC Certificates

You can upload certificates created in TCC to validate the signature of incoming TCC requests. Uploaded certificates can be deleted and downloaded.
