Deprecated Features

Deprecation of Real Application Security (RAS) mid-tier master session support

Oracle Real Application Security (RAS) mid-tier master session support for Fusion Middleware application session service is deprecated with Oracle Database 23ai

This filter created the RAS session automatically for the FMW application server. Starting with Oracle Database 23ai, you now need to write the code to create the RAS session in the future, just as you would be required to do for any other application server.

Deprecation of Oracle Virtual Directory with Real Application Security

The use of Oracle Virtual Directory with Oracle Real Application Security is deprecated with Oracle Database 23ai.

Using OVD with Oracle Real Application Security is deprecated, because OVD is no longer updated as a separate product

Desupported Features

Desupport of RASADM

The Real Application Security GUI administration tool (RASADM) is desupported with Oracle Database 23ai.

RASADM is no longer supported for use with Oracle Database 23ai. Oracle recommends that you use the RAS PL/SQL API which includes all the functionality of RASADM.
