Adapter for Integration to Oracle Assure1

Overview

This adapter is used to integrate the Itential Automation Platform (IAP) with the Oracle_assure1 System. The API that was used to build the adapter for Oracle_assure1 is usually available in the report directory of this adapter. The adapter utilizes the Oracle_assure1 API to provide the integrations that are deemed pertinent to IAP. The ReadMe file is intended to provide information on this adapter it is generated from various other Markdown files.

Details

The Oracle Assure1 adapter from Itential is used to integrate the Itential Automation Platform (IAP) with Oracle Assure1. With this adapter you have the ability to perform operations on items such as:

  • Devices

Specific Adapter Information

Authentication

This document will go through the steps for authenticating the Oracle_assure1 adapter with Basic Authentication. Properly configuring the properties for an adapter in IAP is critical for getting the adapter online. You can read more about adapter authentication HERE.

Basic Authentication

The Oracle_assure1 adapter requires Basic Authentication. If you change authentication methods, you should change this section accordingly and merge it back into the adapter repository.

STEPS

  1. Ensure you have access to a Oracle_assure1 server and that it is running
  2. Follow the steps in the README.md to import the adapter into IAP if you have not already done so
  3. Use the properties below for the properties.authentication field
    "authentication": {
    "auth_method": "basic user_password",
    "username": "<username>",
    "password": "<password>",
    "token": "",
    "token_timeout": 1800000,
    "token_cache": "local",
    "invalid_token_error": 401,
    "auth_field": "header.headers.Authorization",
    "auth_field_format": "Basic {b64}{username}:{password}{/b64}",
    "auth_logging": false,
    "client_id": "",
    "client_secret": "",
    "grant_type": ""
    }
  4. Restart the adapter. If your properties were set correctly, the adapter should go online.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you copied over the correct username and password.
  • Turn on debug level logs for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials.
  • Turn on auth_logging for the adapter in IAP Admin Essentials (adapter properties).
  • Investigate the logs - in particular:
    • The FULL REQUEST log to make sure the proper headers are being sent with the request.
    • The FULL BODY log to make sure the payload is accurate.
    • The CALL RETURN log to see what the other system is telling us.
  • Remember when you are done to turn auth_logging off as you do not want to log credentials.

Sample Properties

Sample Properties can be used to help you configure the adapter in the Itential Automation Platform. You will need to update connectivity information such as the host, port, protocol and credentials.
