Establish User Identity with Authentication in Oracle APEX

Authentication is used to verify a user's identity and control access to an application. Depending on the authentication method, users may need to provide credentials such as a username and password, or use alternative security measures like digital certificates or secure keys.

Understand Authentication in Oracle APEX

Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity before granting access to an application. In Oracle APEX, authentication ensures that only authorized users can interact with the application based on the authentication method configured.

Authentication can be as simple as requiring a username and password or as complex as integrating with external identity providers using Single Sign-On (SSO), OAuth2, LDAP, or SAML. Once authenticated, Oracle APEX tracks the user session using the built-in substitution string APP_USER, which helps in session management and security enforcement throughout the application.

By configuring authentication schemes, developers can customize how users log in and how their identities are managed within the APEX environment.
