SSO Authentication Scheme - Fallback Backoption

michael.poetscher2 Public · Oct 4 2024

Hello Apex Team! 

I would like to propose an adaption for the SSO Authentication Scheme. Please add an attribute to define a fallback authentication scheme. The attribute should list all defined Authentication Schemes with switching in session = enabled flag. 

In case user is not authenticated or SSO service is not available, apex should add the URL request identifier e.g. …/f?p=:::APEX_AUTHENTICATION=<FALLBACK_AUTH_SCHEME>:::: to the called login URL and refresh the page. Alternatively, also a redirect to the Application Login URL + Authentication request would be okay.

Background: This feature would enable us to smoothly migrate to SSO, without adoptions on the login page, as our company has quite a lot of applications. Additionally, SSO login could take place without displaying a dialog to the users, just in case of an error a login screen gets displayed.

Thank you, BR Michael

This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    Additional details for the idea:

    If the current authentication scheme does not use a login page within APEX—where a developer would typically add a “Switch” to another authentication scheme—it should automatically fall back to an alternative authentication scheme if connectivity issues occur (e.g., the SSO server is unavailable or returns an internal error).
