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.
