16.12.4 Procedure

Perform the following steps to install and configure only Oracle Identity Manager Remote Manager:

  1. Ensure that all the prerequisites, described in Prerequisites for Configuring Only OIM Remote Manager on a Different Machine, are satisfied. In addition, see Important Notes Before You Start Configuring OIM.

  2. On the machine where Oracle Identity Manager Remote Manager should be configured, start the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard, as described in Starting the Oracle Identity Manager 11g Configuration Wizard. The Welcome screen appears.

  3. On the Welcome screen, click Next. The Components to Configure screen appears.

    On the Components to Configure screen, select only the OIM Remote Manager check box. Click Next. The Remote Manager screen appears.

  4. On the Remote Manager screen, enter the service name in the Service Name field. Oracle Identity Manager Remote Manager will be registered under this service name. The service name is used with the Registry URL to a build fully qualified service name, such as rmi://host:RMI Registry Port/service name.

  5. In the RMI Registry Port field, enter the port number on which the RMI registry should be started. The default port number is 12345.

  6. In the Listen Port (SSL) field, enter the port number on which a secure socket is opened to listen to client requests. The default port number is 12346. Click Next. The Keystore Password screen appears.

  7. On the KeyStore Password screen, in the KeyStore Password field, enter a new password for the keystore. A valid password contains 6 to 30 characters, begins with an alphabetic character, and uses only alphanumeric characters and special characters like Dollar ($), Underscore (_), and Pound (#). The password must contain at least one number. In the Confirm KeyStore Password field, enter the new password again. Click Next. The Configuration Summary screen appears.

  8. The Configuration Summary screen lists the application that you selected for configuration and summarizes your configuration options, such as Remote Manager Service Name, RMI Registry Port, and Remote Manager Listen Port (SSL).

    Review this summary and decide whether to start the configuration. If you want to modify any of the configuration settings at this stage, select a topic in the left navigation page and modify your choices. To continue installing this configuration of the Oracle Identity Manager Remote Manager, click Configure.

    Note:

    Before configuring an application, you can save your configuration settings and preferences in a response file. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor. You can use response files to perform a silent installation or use as templates or customized settings for your environment. For more information, see Performing a Silent Installation.
  9. After you click Configure, the Configuration Progress screen appears. A configuration log is saved to the logs directory under Oracle Inventory directory. For information about the log files, see Installation Log Files. If the Configuration Progress screen displays any errors, click Abort to stop the installation and restart the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard.

  10. Click Finish.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager Server certificates, such as xlserver.cert, are created in the DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/ directory. You can use these certificates if you require server-side certificates for configuring Oracle Identity Manager Remote Manager.

If the configuration fails, click Abort to stop the installation and restart the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard, as described in Starting the Oracle Identity Manager 11g Configuration Wizard.
