About Federation

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports federation with Oracle Identity Cloud Service,and Microsoft Active Directory (via Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)), Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Okta, and other identity providers that supports the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 protocol.

Implement Federation and SCIM Provisioning

Use Okta’s SAML settings to configure SAML IdP in OCI to setup basic federation and then reuse the service provider settings to set up SCIM in Okta.

Upon signing up for an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Government Cloud account you are given a tenancy. A tenancy includes a default identity domain created in the root compartment that contains the initial tenant administrator user and group, and a default policy that allows administrators to manage any resource in the tenancy. The default identity domain cannot be deleted, but you can create multiple domains.

1. In the OCI console, click the Navigation Menu (three lines), then Identity & Security, then Domains.
2. Click the Default domain.
3. Under Identity Domain, click Security.
4. Under Security, click Identity providers.
5. Click the Add IdP dropdown, then select Add SAML IdP.
6. In the Name and Description fields, enter Okta-SAML-Setup.
