Set Up Oracle Identity Cloud Service

In this section of the solution, you learn about the following:

Prerequisites that you should have or know before using the Node.js SDK
How to assign administrator roles to your Oracle Identity Cloud Service user account so that you can download the Node.js SDK and register the sample application, contained within the SDK, in Oracle Identity Cloud Service

Before You Begin

Use the Node.js SDK to integrate your Node.js web application with Oracle Identity Cloud Service for authentication. To help you understand how to use this SDK, this solution contains a sample web application.

Before you begin to use the Node.js SDK:

Complete the Learn about using SDKs to authenticate applications solution.
Get a basic knowledge of both the Node.js framework and the JavaScript programming language to understand the code logic presented in this solution.
Install the current Node.js binaries on your computer.
Download the nodejs_sdk_sample_app.zip file and extract it to the c:\temp folder.
Get access to an instance of Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
Make sure that you’re granted access to the identity domain administrator role for your Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance.
Have an internet connection to build the sample Node.js web application.
Don't have proxy settings preventing the internet connection.
Make sure that you’re disconnected from VPN.

Assign Administrator Roles to Your User Account

Although you have access to an instance of Oracle Identity Cloud Service, you need permissions to use the Identity Cloud Service console to download the Node.js SDK and to register the sample Node.js application with Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

You must grant administrative responsibilities to the account that you're using to access Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Assign the security administrator and application administrator roles to your user account.

To assign administrator roles to your user account:

Sign in to Oracle Identity Cloud Service with the credentials of your user account.
In the 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 3 and 4 to assign the application administrator role to your user account.
