EmpowerID Oracle connector allows organizations to bring the user data (user accounts, profiles and roles) in their Oracle system to EmpowerID, where it can be managed and synchronized with data in any connected back-end user directories. When EmpowerID inventories Oracle, it creates an account in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse for each Oracle user, a group for each Oracle profile, and an EmpowerID Business Role for each Oracle role. Once connected, you can manage this data from EmpowerID in the following ways:

  • Provision new users

  • Edit user attributes

  • Delete users

Step 1 – Create an Oracle account store in EmpowerID

  1. On the navbar, expand Admin > Applications and Directories and then click Account Stores and Systems.

  2. On the Account Stores page, click Create Account Store.

  5. On the Oracle Settings page that appears, fill in the following information:

    • Name — Name for the account store

    • User Name — User name of the Oracle Administrator

    • Password — Password for the Oracle Administrator

    • Server — FQDN or IP address of the Oracle system’s server

    • Database — Name of the Oracle database

    • Is Remote (Requires Cloud Gateway) — This setting appears for account stores with local directories, such as Active Directory, LDAP, SAP, etc. When enabled, this tells EmpowerID to use the Cloud Gateway Connection for that account store. The Cloud Gateway Connection must be installed on an on-premise machine. For installation information, please see Installing the EmpowerID Cloud Gateway Client.

  6. When ready click Submit to create the account store.

  7. EmpowerID creates the account store and the associated resource system. The next step is to configure the attribute flow between the account store and EmpowerID.
