10 Installing and Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console

This section explains how to install the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Java client. You have the option to install the Design Console on the same computer as your Oracle Identity Manager server or on a separate computer.

This chapter contains the following topics:

• Requirements

• Installing the Design Console

• Post-Installation Requirements for the Design Console

• Starting the Design Console

Requirements

Verify that your environment meets the following requirements for Design Console installation:

• You must have an Oracle Identity Manager server installed and running.

• If you are installing on a computer other than the host for the application server, you need to know the host name and port number of the computer hosting that application server.

• The Design Console host must be able to ping the application server host using both IP and hostname.

Note:

If you cannot resolve the hostname of the application server, then try adding the hostname and IP address in the hosts file in the directory C:\winnt \system32\drivers\etc\.

Installing the Design Console

To install the Design Console on a Windows host:

1. Insert the Oracle Identity Manager Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Launch Windows Explorer, then navigate to the installServer directory on the installation CD.

3. Double-click the setup_client.exe file.

4. Choose a language from the list on the Installer screen. The Welcome page appears.

5. On the Welcome page, click Next.

6. On the Target directory screen, complete one of the following sub-steps:

   Important:

   All Oracle Identity Manager components must be installed in different home directories. If you are installing the Design Console on a machine that is hosting another Oracle Identity Manager component, such as the Oracle Identity Manager server or the Remote Manager, you must specify a different install directory for the Design Console.

   1. The default directory for the Design Console is C:\oracle. To install the Design Console into this directory, click Next.

   2. To install the Design Console into another directory, enter the path in the Directory field, then click Next.

      or

      Click Browse, navigate to the desired location, then click Next.

      Note:

      If the directory path that you does not exist, the Base Directory settings text box appears: Click OK. Oracle Identity Manager creates this directory for the Oracle Identity Manager server. If you do not have write permission to create the default directory for the Oracle Identity Manager server, a message appears informing you that the installer could not create the directory, Click OK to dismiss the message, then contact your System Administrator to obtain the appropriate permissions.

7. On the Application Server page, select Oracle, then click Next. The next screen prompts you to specify the JRE to use with Design Console.

8. Select either the JRE that is installed with Oracle Identity Manager or specify an existing JRE. Click Next. The Application Server configuration screen appears.

9. On the Application Server Host Information page, enter the information appropriate for the application server hosting your Oracle Identity Manager server:

   1. Enter the host name or IP address in the upper text box.

   2. Use the default, pre-filled value of 12401 for the OC4J naming port.

      Note:

      The host name is case-sensitive.

   3. Click Next.

10. On the Graphical Workflow Rendering Information page, enter the Application server configuration information:

    1. Enter the Oracle Identity Manager server host IP address.

    2. Enter the port number the Oracle Application Server is listening on—the default port is 7777. To learn which port Oracle Application Server is listening on, open <ORACLE_HOME>/install/readme.txt on UNIX or Linux, and <ORACLE_HOME>\install\readme.txt on Windows.

    3. Select No to specify whether the Design Console should use SSL.

    4. Click Next.

11. On the Shortcut page, select (or deselect) the check boxes for the shortcut options according to your preferences:

    1. Choose to create a shortcut to the Design Console on the Start Menu.

    2. Choose to create a shortcut to the Design Console on the desktop.

    3. Click Next when you are satisfied with the check box settings.

12. On the Summary page, click Install to initiate Design Console installation.

13. The final installation page displays a reminder to copy certain application server-specific files to your Oracle Identity Manager server installation. Follow these instructions and then click OK.

14. Click Finish to complete the installation process.

Removing the Design Console Installation

To remove the Design Console installation, perform the following steps:

1. Stop the Oracle Identity Manager server and the Design Console if they are running.

2. Stop all Oracle Identity Manager processes.

3. Delete the <XL_DC_HOME> directory where you installed the Design Console.

Post-Installation Requirements for the Design Console

After installing the Design Console, you must perform the following required steps before using it for Oracle Identity Manager on Oracle Application Server:

1. Copy the <ORACLE_HOME>\j2ee\home\lib\ejb.jar file on the Oracle Application Server system to the <XL_DC_HOME>\xlclient\ext directory on the Design Console system.

2. Copy the <ORACLE_HOME>\j2ee\home\oc4jclient.jar file on the Oracle Application Server system to the <XL_DC_HOME>\xlclient\ext directory on the Design Console system.

Starting the Design Console

Double-click <XL_DC_HOME>\xlclient\xlclient.cmd or select Design Console from the Windows Start menu or desktop to start the Design Console.
