Authentication

Oracle WMS Cloud includes a built-in authentication mechanism using with users can be setup with their own user-id and passwords to access the WMS Web UI, WMS Cloud Mobile App and Mobile RF applications. In addition, it also supports authenticating users against external identity providers (IDP) such as Oracle IDCS or Microsoft Azure AD. It supports multiple authentication mechanisms:

• SAML2 Single Sign On, or SSO in short
  • A web-based authentication standard that can be used only to login to the WMS Web UI
• OAuth2
  • Another authentication standard that can be used for the WMS Web UI, the WMS Cloud Mobile App and Mobile RF.

For more information, refer to the Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud SSO and Alternate Authentication Setup Guide(click WMS latest documentation, then Books.)

API Authentication

Incoming REST API’s support the following authentication methogs:

• basic auth (username and password)
• simple token based authentication
• OAuth2 token based authentication (for grant types ROPC and Authorization Code to obtain a token)

There are also API related permissions to be setup within the WMS that controls the ability to read, modify or delete data.

Outgoing REST API’s support only basic auth. Outgoing touch points can also be configured to send the payload to external SFTP or SFTP sites.
