Guidelines for Using STAP UI

The STAP user interface is accessible using any modern web browser. When using the UI:

  • Do not use browser commands, such as Back, Forward, and Refresh, to avoid losing data. If you accidentally use a browser command, navigate to the primary link and, if required, sign in to STAP again.
  • Do not open multiple instances of STAP in different browser windows or tabs of the same browser.
  • Ensure that cookies are enabled in your browser.

About Authorization Modes

There are two modes of authentication available:

  • Basic Authentication supports a straightforward authentication method where the client provides credentials (username and password).
  • Open Authorization (OAuth) is an open standard authorization framework that enables users to grant third-party applications access to their data without exposing their usernames and passwords. Instead of sharing credentials directly, OAuth issues access tokens to authorize specific resource access.

About Login Page

The login page serves as the primary gateway to access STAP UI. It provides the necessary fields for authentication, where you enter your username and password.

  1. Enter the Username and Password.
  2. Click Login.

    The system validates credentials and grants access if they match stored information, securely logging in the user.

Resetting Your Password

If you forget your password, follow these steps:

  1. Click Forgot Password.

    This opens the Reset Password page.

  2. Enter the user name and email address associated with the UI.
  3. Click Reset.

    You will receive an email containing instructions for resetting your password.

Using IDCS Credentials for OAuth

For logging in using theOracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) environment:

  1. Enter your username and password on the login page.
  2. Click Sign In.

    If successful, you are redirected to the main Dashboard.
