How to authenticate user via OIM API?

I need to do oim user authentication from third party application. I am searching for OIM API for the same.

Solution

  • In OIM the authentication is offloaded to the Application server (i.e. WebLogic) hence you will have to add a Authentication Provider which knows how to connect to the application which you want OIM to use for authentication.

    The above links will provide a view into how you can configure a new Autentication provider for OIM and what an Authentication Provider actually means and its internals.
