How to open IDCS Console from OCI– Finding the entry to Identity Cloud Service

0 0

I have just spent way too much time on finding the way to the Oracle IDCS console from within my OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) console. I was reading a bunch of interesting articles on using IDCS to protect access to OCI Functions and I was trying to follow along. However, these articles started more or less by saying: open your IDCS Console – without explaining how to get there.

Now that I know it, it is simple. Of course. So I share it for your sake – and for mine because I am bound to forget about this again.

EDIT (29th November 2021): I was just informed by Jan Willem Veldhuis of the following: IDCS is being merged into OCI IAM. Soon it will show up as “Identity Domain” in the OCI console replacing the old IDCS console. Check this document for details: https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/security/what-idcs-customers-should-expect-post-migration.pdf.

In the OCI Console’s search box, type IDCS.

The search result is shown and it will include in the Resources list a resource of type Identity Provider that is called  OracleIdentityCloudService. Click on that entry.

This will take you to a screen that looks like this:

Click on the URL marked as Oracle Identity Cloud Service Console. This will take you to the IDCS Console:

This is where you can add applications that you want the IDCS to be the Authentication Provider for. As described in some nice articles:
