Note: Earlier oracle is using hcm (Human capital Management) servers now they changed it to fa (Fusion Application) servers. Now both are working but recommend one is fa .
We can Post data through using API without authorization:
Oracle REST API Authentication:
Authentication policy enforces the following authentication mechanisms, based on the token a client uses:
• Basic authentication (Should have the UserName and Password)
• SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0 Bearer token (Passwords are handle in configuration file)
• JWT (JSON Web Token) token (Passwords are handle in configuration file)
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) :
XML-based framework for authentication and authorization between Service Provider and an Identity Provider. SAML is a standard single sign-on (SSO) format. Authentication information is exchanged through digitally signed XML documents. With SAML, you do not have to worry about typing in authentication credentials or remembering and resetting passwords.
JWT token :
This is also similar like SAML but encoded as a JSON object that is digitally signed using JSON Web Signature. Here also no need to worry about typing in authentication credentials or remembering and resetting passwords.
Note:
If We reset the SSO (Single sign On) password or Oracle Cloud application password then we should have to run three process. The process should have to run in the following mentioned order:
1. Send Pending LDAP Requests
2. Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes
3. Import User and Role Application Security Data
