Oracle EBS

To connect your application with Active directory using miniOrange, you need to perform these steps:

1. Connect your Active Directory to miniOrange.

2. Connect miniOrange to your application using miniOrange Broker Service.

Connect Active Directory to miniOrange -

• Click here and log in with your miniOrange account.
• Navigate to User Stores menu option and click on Add User Store button.



• Navigate to AD/LDAP tab and choose either of the following two options:
• STORE LDAP CONFIGURATION IN MINIORANGE: Choose this option if you want to keep your configuration in miniOrange. If active directory is behind a firewall, you will need to open the firewall to allow incoming requests to your AD.
• STORE LDAP CONFIGURATION ON PREMISES: Choose this option if you want to keep your configuration on your premises and only allow access to AD inside premises. You will have to download and install miniOrange gateway on your premises.
  
  
  
  
• Now, provide the following values:

Directory Type:	Active Directory
LDAP Server URL:	Your AD server URL or IP address
Bind Account DN:	Please perform below steps
Bind Account Password:	Please perform below steps
Search Bases:	Please perform below steps
Search Filter:	Please perform below steps

• Go to AD FS-> Domain-> respective Users -> Properties-> Attribute Editor. Now copy the value of distinguishedName and paste it against Bind Account DN.



• Enter the valid password for the user from the above step.
• Search Base is a user search location. It means where to search for a user.



• If you want to add extra conditions on user search you can add it in Search Filter. If you are not sure what to add, then add (&(objectClass=*)(cn=?)).



• Click on save. After this, it will show you the list of User stores. Click on Test Configuration to check whether you have entered valid details. For that, it will ask for username and password.




Now you have successfully connected miniOrange to your Active Directory. You can move to the next step where you will connect miniOrange to your application i.e. Oracle EBS using miniOrange Broker Service.

Sync Password Feature -

It's a hassle to configure Username and Password for each user. For an easy and seamless experience, miniOrange provides a password sync feature. This feature is useful for both new users and existing users of Oracle EBS.

1. From a new users perspective:

For regular password managers, a new user has to manually save his Oracle EBS credentials so that the password manager is able to pick up the credentials and autofill credentials on the login form. It's a hassle for the user. This is where the sync password feature comes into the picture. miniOrange Password sync feature makes this seamless. Users creating their accounts with miniOrange would have their credentials synced to the Oracle EBS application database. miniOrange syncs the password of new users automatically to Oracle EBS application database so that new user does not have to worry about their respective usernames and password.

2. From Existing Users perspective:

This particular use-case is useful in case when customer admin already has few users and wants to integrate miniOrange for SSO. In this case, customer admin will import all the existing users from the user store into miniOrange. As users are imported miniOrange would generate new passwords for Oracle EBS application. These credentials will then get automatically synced to the Oracle EBS application database.
