Oracle Cloud SAML integration

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security used when logging into websites or apps to authenticate users through more than one required security and validation procedure that only you know or have access to.

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a protocol for authenticating to web applications. SAML allows federated apps and organizations to communicate and trust one another’s users.

Acceptto™, as a SAML provider, improves the user login experience for Oracle users with convenient MFA, and offers a simple SAML solution for adding MFA and single sign-on (SSO) on the Oracle portal.

Prerequisites

  • Acceptto account with a configured Identity Provider and LDAP Agent.

    For more information, see the LDAP Agent deployment guide.

  • Oracle Cloud user account with administrative access

  • User account with administrative privileges for the Acceptto eGuardian dashboard.
