Introduction to Integrated (Confidential) Application

Oracle Cloud Services (OPC) applications are managed by Oracle for internal or service use, and continued reliance on client secrets in these applications introduces security and governance risks. To address this, Oracle is implementing the Client Secret Removal initiative, which eliminates the use of client secrets in OPC applications.

In contrast to the OPC applications, Integrated Applications are customer-managed, giving users full control over credentials, including ownership and rotation of client secrets. This makes the integrated approach more secure, scalable, and aligned with best practices. Therefore, customers are encouraged to transition use cases from OPC applications to self-declared Integrated Applications.
