FlexDeploy now supports the use of OAuth authentication for Oracle Integration Cloud. You can follow the below steps for configuring OAuth for OIC.
The following OAuth methods are currently supported:
Resource Owner
JWT User Assertion
Oracle Integration 3 instances only support OAuth authentication. Basic Auth cannot be used in FlexDeploy for these instances
Prerequisite
For JWT User Assertion, we need a certificate to be generated from the endpoint where FlexDeploy server is going to execute the plugin operations for OIC/VBCS. For Resource Owner, you can skip this prerequisite step.
1. Generate certificate
If you already have a public/private key and their keystore location feel free to skip this step.
Continuing with this step, we assume you don’t have third party certificates and going to generate a self signed cert.
Keystore
1 Create the Keystore.
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias <your_alias ex FlexDeploySandbox> -keystore <keystore_file ex FDSandboxkeystore.jks> -storepass <new_keystore_pass> -validity 365 -keysize 2048
if you don’t need to use password in the command, you can remove -storepass <new_keystore_pass>, it will prompt to enter the keystore password.
2 Export to generate a cert file. Make sure that the aliases are unique.
keytool -exportcert -alias <your_alias ex FlexDeploySandbox> -file <filename ex flexdeployad.cer> -keystore <keystore_file ex FDSandboxkeystore.jks> -storepass <keystore_pass>
Resource Owner
Create a Confidential Application in Identity Console
Create FlexDeploy Cloud Account
1. Create a Confidential Application in Oracle Identity Console
Give it a meaningful name such as ‘FlexDeploy OAuth App’.
Click Next.
On the tab Configure OAuth,
Resource Server Configuration, should be defaulted to Skip for later.
Select Configure this application as a client now. Be sure to select the grant type of Resource Owner, Client Credentials and add scopes for your OIC Instances where you want to use this application.
Copy the scope that ends in /ic/api to notepad
For Client Type, select Confidential. (Import certificate is not needed)
You can accept the default values throughout the rest of the configuration.
Copy the client id and secret that show up after completing the application (you can access this from the configuration tab as well)
Click Finish to activate your application
2. Create the Cloud Account in FlexDeploy
JWT User Assertion
JWT User Assertion requires an ssl certificate to be uploaded to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and referenced in FlexDeploy. The key can be self-signed or from a more trusted chain.
Create Oracle Identity Application with the JWT Assertion grant type
Add cer file to Partner Settings
Create FlexDeploy Cloud Account
1. Create Oracle Identity Application with the JWT Assertion grant type
Give it a meaningful name such as ‘FlexDeploy OAuth App’.
Click Next.
On the client configuration select Configure this application as a client now. Be sure to select the grant type of JWT Assertion, Client Credentials and add scopes for your OIC Instances where you want to use this application.
Copy the scope that ends in /ic/api to notepad
For Client Type, select Confidential. (Import certificate is not needed)
You can accept the default values throughout the rest of the configuration.
Copy the client id and secret that show up after completing the application (you can access this from the configuration tab as well)
Click Finish and activate your application
2. Add cer file to Partner Settings
We have configured the signing certificate in the Confidential Application, IDCS requires to configure the signing certificate as a Trusted Partner Certificate as well. Go to Settings → Partner Settings and Import the cer file. Make sure to use the same alias name used to generate the file(ex FlexDeployDev).
3. Create FlexDeploy Cloud Account
Lastly you need to create a cloud account in FlexDeploy specifying your client application information as well as the certificate information.
