Hi Team,

We are currently conducting a proof of concept (POC) to migrate from BIP to OAC. Previously, we stored the BIP Admin user credentials to obtain the bipSessionToken using the impersonate API call, which was then required to invoke the BIP SOAP APIs. However, exposing BIP admin credentials in an API call poses a significant security risk and OCI has advised against using local accounts and requested their removal.

To enhance security, we aim to avoid using or storing the OAC admin user credentials. Consequently, we are requesting equivalent REST APIs for the following SOAP APIs, or alternative SOAP APIs that support JWT assertions.

 boolean objectExistInSession(String reportObjectAbsolutePath, String bipSessionToken);
String uploadObject(String reportObjectAbsolutePathURL, String objectType, byte[] objectZippedData, String userID, String bipSessionToken);
boolean deleteObjectInSession(String objectAbsolutePath, String bipSessionToken);

Thanks & regards,

Manish
