• Oracle EBS Ping SSO Integration

Oracle E-Business Suite is a major product line of Oracle Corporation. Oracle EBS is a combined set of business applications for automating customer relationship management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) processes within organizations.

"miniOrange SSO connector enables the Single Sign-On (SSO) between Oracle EBS and Ping without the need to purchase and install Oracle Access Manager (OAM) and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) license."

Oracle EBS Ping SSO integration is enabled with the help of the miniOrange SSO Connector. This integration involves registering PingFederate as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP) in the miniOrange Identity Product. The authentication flow works like this: when a user tries to login into EBS, the authentication is delegated to miniOrange, which redirects the user to Ping for Single Sign-On Login. Upon successful authentication, the user is granted access to Oracle EBS and Oracle EBS Ping SSO is triggered. Oracle EBS can also be protected with Ping Multi-Factor, apart from just Oracle EBS Ping SSO. Oracle EBS URL can be added to Ping Applications Dashboard by Ping Admin, and users can launch it like any other Ping Application. miniOrange SSO connector can enable Oracle EBS Ping SSO for the following supported Oracle EBS versions - R12 and R12.2.x

Oracle EBS Ping SSO Authentication Flow with miniOrange Oracle EBS Solution:

1. The User sends the request to access the Oracle E-Business Suite.

2. Oracle EBS redirects the request to the miniOrange SSO Connector for authentication.

3. The miniOrange SSO Connector redirects the user to Ping for authentication.

4. The user is prompted for their Ping credentials, and is authenticated upon a successful response.

5. The connector receives the user’s Oracle EBS registered username/email from Ping via SAML attributes.

6. The connector checks the value of the username/email received from Ping against the FND_USER table in the Oracle EBS Database & creates a session for them.

7. Upon successfully creating a session, user is redirected to the Oracle E-Business Suite portal as logged-in user

4. Configure Oracle EBS with miniOrange SSO Connector

• Set aside a sub-domain for the miniOrange EBS SSO connector on the same domain as the EBS installation. For example, if the EBS installation has the FQDN apps.example.com, then miniOrange EBS SSO connector could be installed on the sub-domain ebsauth.example.com.
• Create a new user, and assign them the role with code: UMX|APPS_SCHEMA_CONNECT. Make a note of the credentials for this user.
