WebGate A WebGate is a web-server plug-in for Oracle Access Manager (OAM) that intercepts HTTP requests and forwards them to the Access Server for authentication and authorization. Specifically an OHS WebGate, i.e. Oracle HTTP Server WebGate is a Web server plug-in that intercepts HTTP requests and forwards them to an existing Oracle Access Manager (OAM) instance for authentication and authorization. Installing WebGate There are two important steps for installing OHS WebGate, first is configuring the OHS WebGate and then Registering the OHS WebGate with OAM. See below  Configuring Oracle HTTP Server WebGate Registering the Oracle HTTP Server 12c WebGate with Oracle Access Manager Since 12c version, there is no need for installing WebGate separately. If you have installed OHS 12c server then WebGate comes pre-bundled with it. (In prior versions, 11g and 10g one had to first install WebGate binaries.) For overview of register/manage webgate in 12c, read   For 12c version  - Registe

Oracle EBS integration with Oracle IDCS Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) can now be easily integrated with Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). You can read the earlier blog which provided EBS integration with OAM and OID here . However, when using Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) there is no requirement of using OAM or OID. You can integrate your on-premise EBS deployment with Oracle Cloud Identity Service. Here is a side by side comparison of the two deployment architectures - Oracle EBS integration with IDCS on left and with OAM/OID on right You don't need to configure Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Access Gate or OAM for integration with the Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Identity Cloud Service E-Business Suite Asserter replaces OAM Access Gate as the authentication mechanism for your Oracle E-Business Suite. Note: Your Oracle E-Business Suite must not be integrated with Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Internet Directory, or using any other SSO profil

Services or Applications need to be available to end users. Any interruption of services or outages needs to be minimized or if possible provide maximum availability.  Any outage of services to end users is disruptive to Business.  Outages may be Planned outages or Unplanned.  Unplanned outages can occur due to Network issues, Data corruption, Application issues etc, whereas Planned outages are typically for Application updates or patching, Data migration etc. Highly available (HA) architectures are key in providing uninterrupted or maximum available services to end user and business. Below are some references and guides that provide detailed information as to how to implement Highly available architectures or across Multiple Data Centers for Oracle Identity Governance, Oracle Identity and Access Management. Also at the end their is a guide for Disaster Recovery (DR) for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c. Configure High Availability for Oracle Identity Governance   (OIG) Prerequisites for C
