ORDS (Without APEX) REST Service Authentication via Oracle Access Manager/SAML with OKTA
Hi,
We are using ORDS latest version 20.4 for REST enabling Database Calls. This is not via APEX applications. Rather REST enabling Schema's and SQLs.
Now, This RESTful services will be called external applications. So we need to setup authentication.
We are aware that ORDS support OAUTH 2.0 for authentication. E.g.: Oracle REST Data Services Demo - Authentication OAUTH2 Client Credentials / Two Party ( Doc ID 2305958.1 )
However most of our Caller Application will be already authenticated via Oracle Access Manager 12c / SAML 2.0 IDP such as OKTA or Directly via Oracle Internet Directory LDAP. We want to know if ORDS can also be configured to be authenticated via any of these? In that case with valid OAM Cookie/SAML Artifacts already established in session, the caller application can call ORDS Restful services without needing to handle OAUTH Bearer Token.
