The Identity Federation Wiring REST API is designed to support establishment and management of federation agreements. It facilitates SAML metadata exchange between the Identity Provider partner and a Service Provider partner and enables or disables federation SSO between those two partners. This chapter describes the Oracle Access Management Identity Federation API.

Notes About Using cURL

This chapter uses cURL to demonstrate the REST calls that the identity federation client sends to the identity federation server. cURL is free software that you can download from the cURL website at http://curl.haxx.se/

Using cURL to send REST calls to the server can help you better understand how the client interacts with the server. It can also be a helpful troubleshooting tool. Consider the following when using this chapter.

cURL commands that contain single quotes ( ' ) will fail on Windows. When possible, use double quotes ( " ) in place of single quotes.

If a command requires both single quotes and double quotes, escape the double quotes with a backslash (for example: \" ) and replace the single quotes with double quotes.

Note:

In this guide, line breaks in cURL commands and server responses are for display purposes only.
