How to configure SQL IDentity Provider for ORACLE BPEL or Worklist application in 11g SOA (Troubleshooting)

If you are looking to setup SQL IDentity Provider  for ORACLE BPEL or Worklist application in 11g SOA then you are in the right place.

The solution is basically provided by an Oracle Sample.

You can download the Oracle Sample here: workflow-120-SQLIdentityProvider.zip

Please follow the steps in the sample provided. Also you can double check the steps with this blog: SQLAuthenticator and Human Worklist Application

By now you have setup the SQL Identiy provider for BPEL and worklist app.

Troubleshooting: (WorklistApp only)

When you have setup the SQL Identiy Provider, there is a very much likely chance that you might face an issue with the user name case sensitivity.

For example if you had a user in mixed case such as  UserName. Then when you try to log in to worklist app, it will complain that the user does not exist, despite that you witness the UserName exist in the database. This will not work for the following reasons.

Human workflow system (Worklist app) appears to be case insensitive for user names login. By default  all user names are stored in lowercase (Not using SQL identity, as this is a different case). As is the case we need to change a property to notify worklist app. 

Solution:

User name case insensitivity property should be changed in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

Please follow the steps provided in the
Document:  Oracle® Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Following the steps mentioned in the document and set the value to "true".

This will resolve the issue.
