Set Up Oracle Identity Cloud Service

Before you use the SDK for Android Applications, learn about the prerequisites and learn how to assign administrator roles to your Oracle Identity Cloud Service user account. The administrator roles are required to download the SDK for Android Applications and register the sample application, which is contained within the SDK, in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Before You Begin

Before you begin setting up Oracle Identity Cloud Service:

Read the Learn about using SDKs to authenticate applications solution.
Get a basic knowledge of the Java programming language to understand the code logic.
Get access to an instance of Oracle Identity Cloud Service, and privileges to download the SDK from the console and to register a confidential application.
Download the Android sample application either from GitHub or as a zip file, and then extract it to a temporary folder on your computer.

Assign Administrator Roles to Your User Account

You need the correct permissions to download the SDK for Android Applications and to register the sample mobile application with Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

You must grant administrator roles to the account that you use to access Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Assign the Security Administrator and Application Administrator roles to your user account.

A valid user in Oracle Identity Cloud Service is a prerequisite.

In the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, expand the Navigation Drawer, click Security, and then click Administrators.
Expand the node for the Security Administrator role.
Click Add, select the check box for your user account, and then click OK.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to assign the Application Administrator role to your user account.
