About Oracle InForm Adapter security

Security depends on the Oracle InForm Adapter interfaces and the Oracle applications used.

Security	Used with this application or interface
username/password security	Oracle InForm Adapter Discrepancy interface Oracle InForm Adapter ODM Export interface Oracle Central Coding
X.509 Digital Certificate security	Oracle Central Coding Clintrial Integration Solution (CIS) Oracle InForm Adapter Discrepancy interface Oracle InForm Adapter ODM Export interface

Note:

Oracle InForm Adapter validates the signature sent in request by integrations calling Oracle InForm Adapter interfaces, which in turn attempt to sign messages using the SHA 2 (SHA 256) encryption security protocol only.

• Username/password security
  Username/password authentication provides security between the interface and the Oracle InForm server. In the request for each method or operation, the SOAP header contains elements for the Oracle InForm user name and password, and the SOAP body contains an attribute for the Oracle InForm study name.
• Security using X.509 certificates
  When Oracle InForm Adapter is configured to use an X.509 certificate for authentication, it expects the SOAP messages to be signed by the associated applications using Web Services Security: SOAP Message Security Version 1.1.1 specifications.
• Web Services Security (WS-Security)
  The WS‑Security model uses transport-level security based on TLS to protect messages.
