Security:
1. Single Console - Security Console
2. Simplified user experience for IT Security Manager/Administrator.
3. OIM (Oracle Identity Management) and APM (Authorization Policy Manager)
will not be available.

4. Easy integration with Identity and Access Management (IDM/IAM) Systems.

5. For Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Oracle Identity Management (OIM),
customers can download and install connectors that will automatically
synchronize user account information between Oracle Fusion Applications and
these IDM systems.
(As in Release 11, customers must continue to log a Service Request (SR) to
set up federated Single Sign-On (SSO) between these systems. Once
federation is enabled, the connectors will synchronize the information.)
Note: Release 12 also delivers a REST API based on the SCIM (System for
Cross-Domain Identity Management) standard. Customers can use this API to
create user accounts, modify user attributes (e.g. email), enable/disable
users, and fetch user account and role information.
6. An Upgrade-Safe Reference Role Model - Starting in Release 12, pre-defined
roles that are shipped with Oracle Applications Security will be locked down.
Customers will not be able to modify the functional and data security policies
that are associated with these roles. They can, however, add new data
security policies to these pre-defined roles. In addition, privileges and
resources are protected. Users cannot create or modify these artifacts.
Locking down these security artifacts enables safe upgrades to pre-defined
roles, since the possibility of conflict with customer introduced changes to
these roles is now eliminated. This, in turn enables customers to safely adopt
new enhancements that may be delivered with pre-defined roles in future
releases. As in Release 11, customers can make copies of pre-defined roles
and freely customize these copies.
