3.4.7.3 Configuring Authentication Schemes for an Instance
Instance administrators can configure available authentication schemes for an Oracle APEX instance.
Note:
To ensure the security and performance of your development environment, this functionality is not available in Oracle APEX instances running in Oracle Cloud.The authentication scheme designated as Current determines how an application identifies and verifies the user. Depending upon the selected authentication scheme type, you can configure various settings to fine-tune authentication behavior.
Even for external authentication schemes (such ,as HTTP Header Variable), make sure that users exist as developers or administrators in your workspace. Otherwise, APEX will not be able to verify in which workspace a user is allowed to work.
Tip:
You can also change the authentication scheme using the
APEX_BUILDER_AUTHENTICATION
parameter in
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN
package. See APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN, Available Parameter Values in Oracle APEX API
Reference.
