3.4.7.3.6.1 About SAML Sign In
Oracle APEX supports the use of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). SAML is an XML-based protocol for exchanging security information between software entities on the Web. SAML security is based on the interaction of asserting and relying parties. SAML provides single sign-on capabilities; users can authenticate at one location and then access service providers at other locations without having to log in multiple times.
Note:
SAML support requires Oracle Database 19c (Database Release Update 19.9.0.0.0 or newer) or Oracle Database 21c. If your database does not meet these requirements, SAML Sign-In authentication scheme will not display.Parent topic: Editing SAML Sign In
3.4.7.3.6.2 About Cross-Origin Resource Sharing when Using SAML
The SAML authentication end user flow requires Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) to
permit cross-origin requests from your Identity Provider to Oracle APEX. By default, ORDS does not allow cross-origin requests to its PL/SQL gateway
including to Oracle APEX. You must configure ORDS to designate your Identity Provider as a trusted origin
by setting security.externalSessionTrustedOrigins
configuration
parameter.

Tip:
If your Oracle APEX instance is using the prerequisite Oracle Database release and Database Release Update and the SAML Sign-In authentication scheme does not appear, execute the following while connected to the database (or pluggable database) as SYSDBA:
set serveroutput on
exec sys.validate_apex
