Migrating to OCI IAM:
What Oracle IDCS customers
need to know
Oracle is merging the capabilities of Oracle Identity Cloud Service
(IDCS) into the native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access
Management (OCI IAM) service. IDCS will no longer exist as a separate
service in the coming months, but all features and functionality will
continue to exist as part of OCI IAM. As a native OCI service,
customers will see improved performance and scale, immediate
availability in more global regions, and a new cross-region disaster
recovery feature. Best of all, the migration to OCI IAM will be seamless
and automatic without any loss of existing capabilities or features,
including managing access across numerous third-party applications.
What is OCI IAM?
OCI IAM is the access control plane for Oracle Cloud. It’s the OCI-native
authentication service and policy engine for OCI and Oracle Cloud Applications
that has been used to manage access to OCI resources such as networking,
compute, storage, and analytics.
What is changing for IDCS and OCI IAM?
Oracle will soon be announcing new service capabilities for the OCI IAM service
offering broader IAM features and capabilities. As part of this new service
release, all features and functionality of the existing Oracle Identity Cloud Service
(IDCS) will be merged into OCI IAM. IDCS will no longer exist as a separate
service, but all its features and capabilities will continue to function as part of the
new OCI IAM service.
OCI IAM will support the following core functions:
• OCI IAM will continue to serve as the critical access control plane for
Oracle Cloud.
• Oracle Cloud Applications are expected to standardize over time on OCI
IAM as the native IAM service for the application.
• OCI IAM will support a wide range of enterprise Identity and Access
Management (IAM) use cases for complex, hybrid IT environments.
• OCI IAM will provide a developer friendly IAM engine for custom and
consumer applications.
