ORDS and authentication against Oracle APEX user directory – GPM Factory

Here’s the reformatted job posting in clean, semantic HTML based on the provided content (though this appears to be a technical note rather than a job posting—if you'd like me to reformat it as documentation instead, let me know):

This document discusses Oracle REST Data Service (ORDS) authentication methods, expanding on existing scenarios with a fifth option: APEX user directory.

Authentication Scenarios

• Flat file user directory at ORDS level
• Tomcat file repository
• Tomcat JDBCRealm
• Database authentication
• APEX user directory: Leverages APEX’s embedded directory for both first-party authentication and OAuth. Requires APEX users to be enrolled in a group matching the role name mapped to the module or URL pattern.
