Oracle APEX allows you to copy an authentication scheme from another application or within the same application. Additionally, you can subscribe to an authentication scheme, enabling centralized management of authentication settings across multiple applications.
Why Copy or Subscribe to an Authentication Scheme?
Copying an authentication scheme creates an independent version in your application, which can be modified without affecting the source application.
Subscribing to an authentication scheme links it to a master authentication scheme, allowing updates from the master to be applied automatically.
Steps to Copy or Subscribe to an Authentication Scheme
Navigate to the Authentication Schemes Page
Log in to your Oracle APEX workspace.
Open App Builder and select the application you want to modify.
Click Shared Components from the application menu.
Under Security, select Authentication Schemes.
Copy an Authentication Scheme
Click Copy Authentication Scheme from the Tasks region.
Under Copy From Application, select the source application.
Choose the authentication scheme you want to copy.
Enter a new Authentication Scheme Name (optional).
Click Copy Authentication Scheme.
Subscribe to an Authentication Scheme
During the copy process, enable the Subscribe option.
Select the source application and the authentication scheme to subscribe to.
Click Copy and Subscribe to establish a subscription.
Manage Subscriptions
If you subscribed to an authentication scheme, updates made to the master scheme can be applied to all subscribed applications.
You can refresh the authentication scheme from the master or unsubscribe if you want to manage it independently.
Test Authentication
Run the application and verify that the authentication scheme is working correctly.
If issues occur, review authentication settings, credentials, and integration configurations.
By copying or subscribing to an authentication scheme, Oracle APEX developers can streamline authentication management across multiple applications, ensuring consistency and reducing administrative overhead.
