OAuth authentication needs to be supported in Fusion Applications BI Publisher in GEN3

Issue: OAuth Authentication unavailability in BIP Fusion Applications (FA) is restricting connection between FA and Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), as OIC in GEN3 supports only OAuth where as FA's BIP web service as data source supports only Basic Authentication

Major requirements and technical approaches that are disrupted are as follows:

Business Impact :

Loss of ability to trigger OIC integrations using ESS jobs/BIP reports.
Increased labor cost to develop minimum viable workarounds.
Reduced value due to lost functionality.
Increased labor cost to revisit these improvements later.
This inability incurs internal and external costs to extend the project schedule.

Use Case: Use BI Publisher Data Model to call OIC Integration using REST/SOAP service and query data in DBCS tables to return XML response to BIP. Response is used to generate excel/pdf/word output and send to suppliers/end users. For ad-hoc triggers, Use ESS Job and BI Publisher Data Model to trigger OIC Integration using REST/SOAP service.

Suggested Solutions: OAuth authentication needs to supported in Fusion Applications BI Publisher.

OAuth Authentiction should be standard across all of Oracle Cloud. The fact that this is missing and needs to be an enhancement request is troubling. My company has been asking Oracle to secure this connection for at least a couple years now with no action taken. Please oracle- take security seriously for all connection types!! Thank you in advance!

Hi Experts,

OAuth Authentication should be applied to BIP to secure extracting data from the Oracle Cloud. has it accepted as ER? and when will Oracle release this feature ?

Thanks,

Any luck with this ? I have reached out to Oracle for comment and they redirected me to this topic.

I don't see any vote button for this idea, Oracle confirmed it should be voted in order for them to plan the enhancement.

Johannes Michler

I see the vote button (and voted for it, currently 22 votes).

Will this change with the Authentication changes (move to IAM Identity Domain) in fusion with 25B+?

Securing all connections I believe is the heart of Oracle and allow for SSO. This needs to be standard. Thanks.

Our client has hard dependency to use OAuth for BIP connection through OIC for BI SaaS services or for that matter any integration. This impacts our implementation and may eventually become showstopper for our go-live as well. This needs to be fixed on priority

Our client is reluctant to use basic username password based authentication so we would need this fix as soon as possible on priority.
