3.3 Set Up Oracle Identity Providers

You can use Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) or Oracle IAM as an identity provider to manage access to your application.

If you want to use Keycloak or Microsoft AD as the identity provider, refer to their product documentation for information about setting up the identity provider and creating an access token.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure previously used Oracle IDCS as the identity provider. Now, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure uses Oracle IAM as the identity provider.

To identify if your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy uses Oracle IDCS or Oracle IAM:

1. Log in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.
2. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security.
   • Under Identity, if you see Users and Groups, your tenancy has not been migrated to Oracle IAM. Your tenancy uses Oracle IDCS.
   • Under Identity, if you see Domains, your tenancy has been migrated to Oracle IAM.

Based on whether your tenancy uses Oracle IDCS or Oracle IAM, you can use the relevant information to create a confidential application and activate it.
