Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

  • Artikkeli

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Note

This integration is also available to use from Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud Application Gallery and configure it in the same way as you do from public cloud.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

To configure the integration of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console in the search box.
  4. Select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console using a test user called B. Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B. Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user to enable B. Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console SSO to configure the SSO settings on application side.
    1. Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console test user to have a counterpart of B. Simon in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console application integration page, find the Manage section and select Single sign-on.

  3. On the Select a Single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  4. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:

    Note

    You will get the Service Provider metadata file from the Configure Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console Single Sign-On section of the tutorial.

    1. Click Upload metadata file.

    2. Click on folder logo to select the metadata file and click Upload.

    3. Once the metadata file is successfully uploaded, the Identifier and Reply URL values get auto populated in Basic SAML Configuration section textbox.

      Note

      If the Identifier and Reply URL values do not get auto populated, then fill in the values manually according to your requirement.

      In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://cloud.oracle.com/?region=<REGIONNAME>

      Note

      The value is not real. Update the value with the actual Sign-On URL. Contact Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console Client support team to get the value. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  6. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

  7. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes. Click Edit icon to open User Attributes dialog.

Create Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console test user

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console supports just-in-time provisioning, which is by default. There is no action item for you in this section. A new user does not get created during an attempt to access and also no need to create the user.

Test SSO

When you select the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console tile in the My Apps, you will be redirected to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console sign-in page. Select the IDENTITY PROVIDER from the drop-down menu and click Continue as shown below to sign in. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console you can enforce session controls, which protect exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session controls extend from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
