Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite application from the Microsoft Entra gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.

Add Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite from the Microsoft Entra gallery

Add Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Complete the following steps to enable Microsoft Entra single sign-on.

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

2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite > 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, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

   

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

   a. In the Identifier textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.oraclecloud.com/

   b. In the Reply URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.oraclecloud.com/v1/saml/<UNIQUEID>>

   c. In the Sign on URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.oraclecloud.com/

6. Your Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite 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 an example for this. The default value of Unique User Identifier is user.userprincipalname but Oracle Access Manager for Oracle E-Business Suite expects this to be mapped with the user's email address. For that you can use user.mail attribute from the list or use the appropriate attribute value based on your organization configuration.

   

7. 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.
