Set up E-Business Suite Mobile Applications
You can authenticate Oracle E-Business Suite mobile applications such as Approvals for EBS with Oracle Identity Cloud Service, when your Oracle E-Business Suite is making use of Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter.
By doing so, when users open the mobile application and try to access Oracle E-Business Suite information, the asserter uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service to authenticate these users through the mobile application.
This set up is valid for the following Oracle E-Business Suite mobile applications:
- Custom mobile applications based on Oracle Mobile Application Framework (Oracle MAF).
- Approvals for EBS from Oracle America, Inc.
- Oracle Fusion Expenses from Oracle America, Inc.
Before You Begin
You need to make sure you have configured the E-Business Suite mobile application to work with your Oracle E-Business Suite.
- For Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.1.3 and version 12.2, apply or validate if mobile application patches have been applied as per Oracle E-Business Suite documentation. If you use Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8, you can skip applying the patches as those are already included.
- To execute the following configurations, you need to log in to Oracle E-Business Suite with any user (excluding sysadmin) assigned to Mobile Applications Manager role.
You don't need to configure Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Access Gate. Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter replaces OAM Access Gate as the authentication mechanism for your Oracle E-Business Suite.

Test Authentication for E-Business Suite Mobile Applications
Test the authentication of the Oracle E-Business mobile applications in scenarios in which E-Business Suite uses Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter.
The mobile application completes the login flow and shows the protected feature only if it detects a successful return that redirects to the URL configured in the Login Success URL parameter.
