Oracle Application Express Architecture

Before you begin

Ensure that:

  • Verify that Access Gateway is installed and configured. See Manage Access Gateway deployment.
  • Verify that Access Gateway uses your Okta org as an Identity Provider (IdP). See Configure an Identity Provider in Access Gateway.
  • Verify that you have administrator rights on your Okta org and can create groups and assign applications.
  • You have an external Oracle Application Express- based app that requires protection. Oracle Application Express version v10g and later are supported.
  • Appropriate DNS entries exist for the protected app and its external URL. For example:
    ValueDescription
    https://app-ex.externalexample.comExternal or customer facing application URL.
    https://app-ex.internalexample.com

    Internal or protected application URL of Oracle Application Express.

This application uses header variables to exchange user information. You can use the Access Gateway sample header application. See Add a generic header application and Add a sample header application.
