Item: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity Access Management (OCI IAM)
Rating: 10
Author: Christopher Maggiulli

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Oracle Identity Cloud Service as the main identity provided for a variety of applications. The applications are build using Oracle Visual Builder, Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle Process Cloud, Oracle Dev Cloud, Oracle Storage Cloud, and others. We federated IDCS with our active directory so we really just use it as an extension of AD. Also, we have configured Okta SSO with it.

Pros and Cons

Identity Management
Authentication
Authorization

RESTful services
SOAP Services
CLI

Return on Investment

Identity Management
Risk Management
Integration

Alternatives Considered

Azure Active Directory, Okta Customer Identity and Microsoft Identity Manager

Oracle's Identity Cloud Service works more in conjunction with the aforementioned. I think it works similar to Oracle Identity Management (OID) but seems a little more abstracted.

Other Software Used

Oracle Storage Cloud Service, Oracle Database 12c, Oracle Database Cloud Service

Likelihood to Recommend

A good use of Oracle Identity Cloud Services is as an authentication and authorization platform sitting in front of your cloud, on-premise, and hybrid Oracle solutions. It is well suited to integrate with your on-premise or cloud directory services and your single sign-on provider. It is useful for OIC, SOA, OCI, etc.
