Add an Oracle JD Edwards Application

Overview

The purpose of this tutorial is to walk through the process of setting up an Oracle JD Edwards application with Okta through the Access Gateway Admin UI.

Before You Begin

Access Gateway is installed and configured for use.
See Manage Access Gateway deployment.
Access Gateway has been configured to use your Okta tenant as IDPAn acronym for Identity Provider. It is a service that manages end user accounts analogous to user directories such as LDAP and Active Directory, and can send SAML responses to SPs to authenticate end users. Within this scenario, the IdP is Okta..
See Configure your Okta tenant as Identity Provider for more information about configuring your Okta tenant as an IDP.
You have administrator rights on your Okta tenant and can assign applications to users, and create groupsGroups allow you to organize your end users and the apps they can access. Assigning apps to large sets of end users is made easier with groups..
You have access to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager Management console and can configure Single Sign on.
