Configuring Oracle Cloud as the Service Provider with SimpleSAMLphp as IDP

In order to establish SSO between enteprise backend and Oracle Public Cloud, it's possible to use SimpleSAMLphp (Federation tool) as an in-house Identity Provider, and setup Oracle Cloud as the Service Povider.
Cf official documentation Managing Single Sign-On about the concept.
SSO relies on SAML 2.0 standard.

Tasks

At the Identity Server (IDP) level

Install Apache and PHP 5.3 +
Install SimpleSAMLphp
Just Follow documentation and yum install php53-mcrypt instead php-mcrypt if linux complains about it.
Test with a simple SP provided with SimplePHPphp.
Don't forget to un-comment the example-userpass !
Export the metadata in a XML file

At the Cloud Service level

Import the previous metadata file
Accept default values and don't change anything.
At the IDP server level:

Follow documentation Servive Provider Quickstart

Update the config/authsources.php with infos provided in the parameter pages (entity Id)
EntityID value must be the same value as Provider Id
Let's stay in http (vs https) mode for demo purpose

Test the SSO (cf output below)
enable it, only if test is ok.

Output Display after SSO test

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 - 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 dedicate...
