Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Adding authentication to a site

With Oracle Sites Cloud Services, access to any site is Public, by default. If you have to add authentication, there is a very simple way to achieve it:

First, we assume that authentication will be against the existing Identity Domain provided with the tenant.

In a dedicated page of a site, called Login for instance, we add an App component which embeds an URL to any folder of Documents Cloud Service.
ie:
App URL = 
https://documents.XX.oraclecloud.com/documents/embed/home/nameasc

Note that the URL will be called with the EMBED keyword.
Then we add the App component is a region, and  we setup a height=1 and a width=1 (almost invisible).
That's all.
Each time a user will navigate to this custom  Login Page, and if the user is not yet authenticated, a new page will splash on the screen, asking for credentials. Once login and pasword are provided by the user, the page disapears and return to custom Login page.



Optionnaly it's possible to add a dedicated button which triggers a logout by adding this link:
https://myservices.us2.oraclecloud.com/mycloud/faces/adfAuthentication?
logout=true&end_url=https://documents.sites.us2.oraclecloud.com//

Prerequisites: Authorize Documents Cloud Service to embed Folder in an iframe and add the domain to the granted list. (In Administration menu)

Other advantages: If you have a subscription to Database Service in the same Identity Domain, the method described above will be a good way to introduce an authentication to an APEX component.
Cf my other post related to Apps.

Oracle Documents Cloud Service - Using Upload File REST API

If the Upload File sample given in ODCS documentation is used "as is", we get a http 400 error. The syntax is strict and every blank line must be empty (no space character for instance). If we cust and paste the sample, there are residual space characters which must be removed. So, use this pattern instead: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID": " " } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain Hello World! -----1234567890-- instead the original one: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID":"FB4CD874EF94CD2CC1B60B72T0000000000100000001" } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain -----1234567890-- Tests can be...

Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Apps

It's possible to add kinds of widgets (named APPS) inside any page of a site built with Oracle Sites Cloud Service (SCS). Any app is materialized by two URL: a Renderer Url which will render any HTML fragment inside an iframe tag at runtime a settings url which will be rendrered at design time in the settings menu. all URLs must be called through https (meaning that the called server has to be ssl enabled) In the following samples, we integrate: a dummy app (a simple html page produced with node.js) which demonstrates the parameteres caried by the Sites Cloud engine when calling the backend server,  a regular Apex report or form,  a custom report which calls a rest api generated by Apex /ORDS Sample node.js server.js below is a sample of parameter values get from a dummy node.js server Main call id=26e45e21-dbb6-4877-9886-482b37213d2f instance=eyJpbnN0YW5jZWlkIjoiQTI0NUNFNUNFNjA5MjE1REZBRTA2RTQyRjExOThBNThFNzc4RDc5NzFDMkIiLCJzaWduZGF0ZSI6IjE0NTAxMDg1M...
