Oracle Identity Manager LDAP integration with FileCloud

Oracle Identity Manager

Oracle Identity Management enables system administrators to integrate multiple Active Directories and control them from one location. To ensure a smooth configuration please ensure:

  • The server that is hosting FileCloud is able to communicate to the server that is hosting OIM.
  • You have access to the Admin user and are able to access WebLogic Admin server.
  • Both server's firewalls accept the incoming connection.


Integrating OIM's LDAP with FileCloud

To successfully integrate OIM's LDAP with FileCloud, ensure that FileCloud is able to pull the corresponding attributes such as Name, Email, and password. To verify this, please review your connection settings under
Oracle's WebLogic Admin Server under Domain Structure> Services> Security Realms > [myrealm] > Providers. Under Providers > Authentication select the authentication provider to use to connect to FileCloud via LDAP.


Click the authentication provider name to access its settings. Navigate to the Provider Specific tab. To enable FileCloud LDAP to pull the necessary attributes add the following ObjectClass string under All Users Filter.
(&(objectClass=user)(cn=^NAME^))
Then, fill out the other required fields based on your Active Directory configuration.



Once you have added the ObjectClass attribute on the WebLogic Server realm provider's configuration, access FileCloud's admin portal.

  1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Authentication .
    The Authentication page opens.

  2. Under Authentication Settings, in Authentication Type select LDAP.

  3. To successfully configure LDAP, see LDAP Based Authentication.

  4. To ensure a successful connection, in LDAP User Filter Template add: (&(objectClass=user)(cn=^NAME^))



Next, verify your connectivity to OIM's LDAP by clicking LDAP Test and clicking Validate LDAP Settings.


If you obtain a successful confirmation message proceed to verify that FileCloud is able to login and obtain the email ID as seen on the screenshots below. Upon completion without any errors
FileCloud has been successfully integrated with OIM'S LDAP connection.
