Creating an Identity for Oracle BI Application in OID

This task is part of Provisioning for Oracle BI Using Directory Integration Platform (DIP).

A unique identity for the Oracle BI application must be created in OID Directory Information Tree (DIT). This is required since Oracle BI does not get added to any realm in OID during installation.

The ldap commands are used to register or create an identity for the Oracle BI application. Refer to chapter Oracle Internet Directory Data Management Tools in the Oracle Identity Management User Reference 10g (10.1.4.0.1) for syntax and usage of the ldap commands, including ldapmodify.

To create an Identity for Oracle BI Application in OID

This procedure creates an identity for Oracle BI in DIT as a dummy application.

• Run the following command on the machine where OID and DIP have been installed:

  ldapmodify -c -a -h $host -p $port -D cn=orcladmin -w $passwd -v -f uspapp.dat

  Where:

  • $host = Hostname of the machine where OID and DIP are installed
  • $port = 389 for non ssl connection
  • $passwd = Password for superuser orcladmin

    The example creates the application identity in the cn=Products, cn=OracleContext container, and assumes the application name and type are DummyappOnline and DUMMYAPP:

  dn: orclApplicationCommonName=DummyappOnline,cn=DUMMYAPP,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext

The contents to the uspapp.dat file are provided in Supporting Files For Provisioning Using Directory Integration Platform (DIP).
