Registering and Activating OpenID Connect in Oracle Policy Automation

Use this section to configure the Oracle Policy Automation Hub for registering and activating OpenID Connect.

Prerequisite Steps

Before registering and activating OpenID Connect in Oracle Policy Automation, ensure that the Oracle Policy Automation application is assigned to a user account. You use this account for verifying the integration. After the integration is successful, this account is assigned the default Hub Administrator role in Oracle Policy Automation.

Note: Ensure that you do not revoke access for the user account with the Hub Administrator role otherwise the user cannot access the Oracle Policy Automation Hub as Hub Administrator.

Configuring the Oracle Policy Automation Hub

Access the Oracle Policy Automation Hub at: https:///opa-hub/ , and then log in as an administrator.
Click the Permissions icon. The Permissions page appears.
From the Actions menu, select Identity Management Settings. The Identity Management Settings window appears.
From the Identity Management drop-down list, select Update to manage users with IDCS (OAuth2).

Client ID	Enter the client ID value that you obtained in the "Configuring OpenID Connect in Oracle Identity Cloud Service" section.
Client Secret	Enter the client secret value that you obtained in the "Configuring OpenID Connect in Oracle Identity Cloud Service" section.
Client Primary Audience	By default, this field displays the Oracle Policy Automation Server URL. For example, https:/// . Ensure that the URL does not include a suffix after . For example, if the field displays the URL as https:///opa/idcs/ , remove the opa/idcs/ suffix.

Verifying the Integration

Use this section to verify that OpenID Connect authentication works correctly when initiated either from Oracle Policy Automation (Relying Party) or Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IdP).

Verifying IdP Initiated Login from Oracle Identity Cloud Service

Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service My Profile console at: https://.identity.oraclecloud.com/ui/v1/myconsole .
Log in using credentials for a user that is assigned to Oracle Policy Automation. Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays a shortcut to Oracle Policy Automation under My Apps.
Click OPA. The Oracle Policy Automation Hub home page appears.
Confirm that the user that is logged in is the same for both Oracle Policy Automation and Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

This confirms that the login that is initiated from Oracle Identity Cloud Service works.

Verifying Relying Party Initiated Login from Oracle Policy Automation

Access the Oracle Policy Automation Hub at: https:///opa-hub . The Oracle Identity Cloud Service login page appears.
Enter the credentials for a user that is assigned to Oracle Policy Automation, and then click Sign In. The Oracle Policy Automation Hub home page appears.
Confirm that the user that is logged in is the same for both Oracle Policy Automation and Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

This confirms that the login that is initiated from Oracle Policy Automation works.

Verifying Relying Party Initiated Logout from Oracle Policy Automation

On the Oracle Policy Automation Hub home page, click Sign out.
Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service My Profile console at: https://.identity.oraclecloud.com/ui/v1/myconsole , and confirm that the login page appears.

Troubleshooting

Use this section to locate solutions to common integration issues.

Known Issues

You may be locked out of Oracle Policy Automation if you are trying to regenerate the client secret used by an Oracle Identity Cloud Service OpenID Connect application.

Cause: Oracle Identity Cloud Service Administrator regenerates the client secret attribute in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Solution: The client secret attribute must be updated in the Oracle Policy Automation Hub by the Hub Administrator before logging off. If not, users will not be able to log in to the Oracle Policy Automation Hub and security will have to be reset by Support.

Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays the message, "You are not authorized to access the app. Contact your system administrator."

Cause1: The administrator revokes access for the user at the same time that the user tries to access the Oracle Policy Automation Hub using Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Solution1: Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service administration console, select Applications, OPA, Users, and then click Assign to re-assign the user.

Cause2: The OpenId Connect integration between the Oracle Identity Cloud Service and Oracle Policy Automation Cloud is deactivated.

Solution2:

Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service administration console, select Applications, and then OPA.
Click Activate, and then click Activate Application. Oracle Identity Cloud Service displays a confirmation message.

The Identity Management Settings screen displays the message, "Internal Server Error: error initializing tokenValidator"

Cause1: After a successful Oracle Policy Automation - Oracle Identity Cloud Service configuration, the Oracle Identity Cloud Service Administrator regenerates the client secret attribute.

Solution1: Contact the Oracle Policy Automation support team and request to disable the Oracle Policy Automation - Oracle Identity Cloud Service configuration in the Oracle Policy Automation Hub. To fix this problem, run the steps detailed in the "Configuring OpenID Connect in Oracle Identity Cloud Service" section with the regenerated client secret attribute value.
