Federation Setup in IDCS

Use this utility to track your case volume by generating various license usage reports.

What does it do?

An identity provider, also known as an Authentication Authority provides external authentication to the users who want to sign into the Identity Cloud Service using their external provider's credentials.

By setting up a Federation between the customer Identity Systems and Oracle Identity Cloud Service, Oracle enables user access to the applications in Oracle Identity Cloud Service using their credentials, authenticated by the customer Identity Systems.

IDCS supports SAML 2.0 based federation with most of the Identity Systems like Azure, OKTA, and others.

How do I get it?

With IDCS, CDA must configure the Federation between IDCS and customer Identity System.

Federation setup consists of the following activities:
