User Authentication

TCC supports basic user name and password authentication as well as certificate based authentication.

Web Services Security (WS-S)

Oracle Taleo announced the deprecation of support for Username Token Profile 1.1 using the PasswordDigest scheme in release 14B. Any customers using this method for authenticating with the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition 14B and above zones, will be required to make modifications and replace Password Digest with Basic Authentication. Configuration that were using this scheme will now automatically default to basic authentication.

Basic Authentication

When using the basic authentication, TCC provides user credentials in the form of a user name and password, as HTTP headers.

Certificate Based Authentication

TCC supports the signing of communication between TCC and the Taleo zone. The authentication is used to sign the requests and responses between Connect Client and Taleo. This is in addition to basic authentication.
