Add an Oracle E-Business Suite application
Oracle eBusiness Suite can be integrated with Access Gateway in one of two ways, typically referred to as Classic and Rapid.
- With Classic, Oracle EBS Oracle Access Gate and either Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or Oracle User Directory (OUD) are required.
- With Rapid, Oracle EBS requires a set of EBS credentials and an EBS DCS file.

Tip
This application is part of a class of applications which exchange user information using header variables. See Add a generic header application for more information about the Access Gateway generic header application.
Access Gateway also provides a sample header application. See Add a sample header application.

Before you begin
Ensure that:
- Access Gateway is installed and configured for use.
See Manage Access Gateway deployment. - Access Gateway has been configured to use your Okta tenant as IDP.
See Configure your Okta tenant as an 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 groups.
- The external app version is supported. OracleE-Business suite supported versions include:
- v12.1
- v12.2
For Classic process flow, ensure that:
- Oracle E-Business Suite(EBS) is configured with Oracle Access Gate and Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or Oracle User Directory (OUD).
For Rapid process flow, ensure that:
- Oracle E-Business Suite(EBS) is configured and available.
- DBC File has been created by the Oracle EBS owner and is available to the Access Gateway administrator.
See Add an Oracle E-Business Suite application for instructions on how to configure Oracle E-Business Suite for Rapid SSO.Important
Rapid EBS SSO uses domain cookies to communicate between Access Gateway and the EBS server. The domain used by the protected service and the externally facing instance of the gateway must share the same domain.
- EBS_USER is mapped to an Okta tenant user.
