Introduction

Oracle Data Integrator provides, out of the box, a comprehensive security framework allowing administrators to manage users, assign pre-defined security profiles, or grant access to particular objects in a specific repository. ODI also offers the ability to integrate with external authentication mechanisms to authenticate users accessing ODI itself or the source and target systems.

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the ODI security concepts prior to following this chapter's recipes. You can refer to the Managing the Security in Oracle Data Integrator chapter in the ODI documentation, which at the date of this publication could be found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integrate.1111/e12643/security.htm#CDDIFFCB.
