Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) offers a comprehensive suite of identity and access management (IAM) capabilities that can significantly enhance the security and efficiency of the organization’s operations like Authentication & Authorization, SSO, Centralized Identity Management, Integration capabilities with all non-oracle and oracle applications, scalability & Flexibility and many more.

In this post, I will guide you on how to log in to the adminclient using the TOKEN parameter with OCI GoldenGate 23ai. I assume you already have your OCI GoldenGate deployment set up with IAM authentication.

 

1. Locate the Application:

   – Navigate to Identity > Domains > YOUR DOMAIN > Oracle Cloud Services.

   – Search for the first part of your deployment Console URL to find the application.

 

2. Assign the User:

   – In the application, assign the user to it.

 

3. Log in to OCI:

   – Log in to OCI with the user that will be used in adminclient.

   – Go to My Profile under the user icon in the top right corner.

 

4. Generate the Access Token:

   – Since the user is added to the GoldenGate application, they can see the application in My Access Token > Invoke other APIs.

   – Select the application name, specify the token lifetime, and download your token.

 

5. Copy the Token:

   – Open the downloaded .tok file and copy the content (it should be a very long string).

 

6. Connect Using adminclient:

   – In adminclient, use the following syntax:

connect https://deployment_url TOKEN !

   – Paste your token.
