Integrate Oracle EPM Cloud

Oracle EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) Cloud software helps users analyze, understand, and report on their business (see https://oracle.com/performance-management). You can protect access to Oracle EPM Cloud by integrating Oracle EPM Cloud with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Oracle EPM Cloud account through Identity as a Service.

Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.13 and Oracle EPM Cloud version 19.3.3.Other versions of Oracle EPM Cloud may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Oracle EPM Cloud, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Oracle EPM Cloud. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
