Configure the sign in credentials for the Oracle Database
The Oracle Database adapter requires the adapter clients to provide client credentials. The adapter uses these credentials to authenticate the user with the Oracle database and to establish a connection.
Adapter clients can provide the client credentials both when using Visual Studio and when using the BizTalk Server Administration console. When using Visual Studio, credentials are required to generate the metadata. When using the BizTalk Server Administration console, credentials are required to perform operations on the Oracle database. This topic provides information about specifying client credentials in Visual Studio and the BizTalk Server Administration console.
Specifying Client Credentials from Visual Studio
From Visual Studio, you must specify the credentials using the Consume Adapter Service Add-in or the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard.
To specify credentials using Consume Adapter Service Add-in
Right-click your BizTalk project, and then select Add Generated Items.
In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:
Use this To do this Categories Click Consume Adapter Service. Templates Click Consume Adapter Service. To start the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, click Add.
In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding list, select oracleDBBinding, and click Configure.
In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Security tab and from the Client credential type drop-down list box, select Username and specify the user name and password to connect to the Oracle database:
To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.
Click OK.
To specify credentials using Add Adapter Metadata Wizard
Right-click your BizTalk project, point to Add, and then click Add Generated Items.
In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:
Use this To do this Categories Click Add Adapter. Templates Click Add Adapter Metadata. Click Add. The Add Adapter Metadata Wizard opens.
In the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard, select WCF-OracleDB. Select the computer on which BizTalk Server is installed and the name of the BizTalk database.
Important
If you already have a WCF-OracleDB port configured in BizTalk, select the port from the Port list.
Click Next.
In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding list, select oracleDBBinding, and then click Configure.
In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Security tab, and from the Client credential type list, select Username and specify the user name and password to connect to the Oracle database:
To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.
Click OK.
Specifying Client Credentials from the BizTalk Server Administration Console
From the BizTalk Server Administration console, you must specify the credentials as part of the WCF-Custom or WCF-OracleDB port configuration.
To specify client credentials for the WCF-Custom Port
Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.
In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and click Send Ports or Receive Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.
In the port properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select WCF-Custom, and then click Configure.
For a send port, in the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Credentials tab and do one of the following:
Select the Do not use Single Sign-On option, and specify the user name and password to connect to an Oracle database.
To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.
Select the Use Single Sign-On option, and specify an affiliate Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO) application.
For a receive port, in the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Other tab and do one of the following:
Select User account option, and specify the user name and password to connect to an Oracle database.
To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.
Select Get credentials from affiliate application option, and specify an affiliate application.
Click OK.
To specify credentials for the WCF-OracleDB port
Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.
Add the WCF-OracleDB adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console. For instructions, see Adding the Oracle Database Adapter to BizTalk Server Administration Console.
In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and click Send Ports or Receive Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.
In the port properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select WCF-OracleDB, and then click Configure.
Note
To see the location properties dialog box for a receive port, click the Receive Location tab on the left pane of the port properties dialog box, and then click New.
In the port properties dialog box, click the Binding tab. From the Binding Type drop-down list, select oracleDBBinding.
If you are creating a send port, in the transport properties dialog box, click the Credentials tab, and do one of the following:
Select the Do not use Single Sign-On option, and specify the user name and password to connect to the Oracle database.
To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.
Select the Use Single Sign-On option, and specify an affiliate Enterprise Single Sign-on (SSO) application.
