Federated Security Support

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) may be configured in Delegated Authentication mode to act as a service in federation when an external identity solution provides the identity of the Oracle Utilities Cloud Service implementation.

Note: Delegated Authentication Mode is not supported with the IAM included in the base service. Customers requiring this capability must upgrade their IAM license.

In a federated security, the embedded IAM delegates security to a trusted external identity provider. Oracle Utilities Cloud Service acts as a conduit between the identity provider and the service in the federated security configuration. The relationship between the identity provider and service is illustrated below:

The completed federated security configuration governs all accesses to authenticate and authorize users to the Oracle Utilities Cloud Service.
