甲骨文IDSC（联盟号）即将合并到OCI（个人号），以后不再有IDSC账号。
Oracle is merging the capabilities of Oracle Identity Cloud Service
(IDCS) into the native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access
Management (OCI IAM) service. All IDCS 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 as identity domains. 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.
What changes with an existing Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) deployment?
Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) customers should be familiar with the level
of enterprise IAM functionality IDCS provides. None of the existing IDCS features
or functionality will change as part of this migration. As part of this change, the
backend IDCS service becomes an integral component of Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM).
As a native service of OCI, OCI IAM will take advantage of infrastructure that
offers consistently high performance, enterprise scalability, availability in all the
Oracle global cloud regions, and an extensive set of regulatory compliance and
security certifications.
The OCI IAM service will continue to serve all current IDCS use cases including
providing a stand-alone Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution for managing
access across numerous third-party applications. IDCS customers migrating to
OCI IAM do not need to consume any other OCI services to continue using the
services previously provided by IDCS.
What’s new in OCI IAM for IDCS customers?
The migration to OCI IAM and the introduction of identity domains adds IDCS
features natively to the OCI IAM service. Here’s what you need to know:
• Improved Administration Experience: The migration will apply
changes to the administrative console. Identity administration will be
available through the OCI admin console under a navigation menu item
called Identity & Security > Identity Domains. Administrators will see the
same set of features and functionality that they’re used to in IDCS for
managing users, groups, applications, security settings, and other
configurations.
• No Impact for Existing Users, Policies, Configuration, or Access:
Existing security controls and policies will continue to function as
expected. Functionality is not being removed nor any policy
configurations changing. There should be no impact to security settings
or to the user experience.
• Disaster Recovery: In most regions, OCI IAM now has a cross-region
disaster recovery feature that will recover identity domain data in the
unlikely event that an entire OCI region becomes unavailable. This is
included and does not require any changes or updates to existing
applications.
When will this happen?
The updated OCI IAM service, with identity domains, was made generally
available (GA) for new customers across all global regions in late 2021. This did
not impact existing tenancies. We expect to begin introducing identity domains
into existing tenancies in the coming months. Once all tenancies have been
migrated, identity domains will be enabled for all customers.
