Oracle API Gateway Integration with OID 11g

1. Introduction:

1.       This document describes how to configure the Gateway to authenticate via an Oracle

 OID directory server and to extract specific Groups.

2.       From the Gateway we will configured to authenticate a user located in the Oracle OID LDAP  directory.

3.       If user authenticated successfully then only we have to give access to the Enterprise Services.      

  

  2. Configuring LDAP Directories:

       Before going to creating LDAP repository we should create the LDAP Connection.

  3. LDAP Connection Creation:

1.       Login to policy studio and connect admin server.                                                                                      

  

      1.       In Navigator click on External Connection tab -> click on LDAP Connections.

       

    1.       Here we have to enter LDAP Server credentials means OID Server details along with Specific            Group details then click on Test connection.

    

      2.  Now our ldap connection ready.       

  4. LDAP Repository Creation:

      After creation of LDAP Connection next we have to create repository, for this click on external connection tab again from navigator.

   

    1.       Click on External Connections .Within the “External Connections” Tree expand the             
           “Authentication Repository”.

2.  Right Click on “LDAP Repositories” and Click “Add a new Repository”

     

    3. Click on Add a new Repository -> enter repository details-> click ok.
     

    

   5. Configuration of the HTTP Basic filter:

  

      Now we have to apply http basic authentication to the service policy. Once deployed the service in oag we can see the service policy under API Service manager-> Services.

    

     1.       Click on Service policy. Drag HTTP Basic filter attribute from policy palate. Here we need to             browse Our ODI Repository from drop down list then click on finish.
     

                                                       

1.       Next drag one more attribute called” Retrieve from Directory Server” from palate. Here       we should browse the LDAP Directory which we created in in Repository session.                 

1.       Base Criteria you should pass as Group Name and Domain details as per OID.                            Deploy above changes into the server with the help of f6 key from keyboard.        

   6. Test the Policy from API Service Explorer

To test the policy API Service Explorer can be used to send through a message with user credentials (Username/Password).

1.       Start explorer from apigatewayexplorer folder location. This tool we are used for testing the services.

             Click on requesting option from run tab.Here we have to pass request message to the service     

  

1.    Next click on Security tab from below.

1.       Click on HTTP Authentication tab .Here we have to pass specific user details.

2.          Click on run button. 

Happy coding..!!!
