New and Updated Options

Use Service Principal and RPST for IDCS Calls

The creation of IDCS user groups and updates to the web tier policy now takes place through calls to the identity service’s REST APIs using service principals. The REST services are hosted as idp-jobs and authorized using RPST. Identity blocks clientid/secret generated bearer token authentication and is thus not valid anymore. Identity has allowlisted the service principals to be able to invoke these APIs using Resource Principal Session Token (RPST).
