2.1.2 Structure of the Installation

You can install both of the Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0 and 11.1.1.4.0 products under a common Middleware Home directory. When you install these suites on the same machine, two Oracle Home (also referred to as IDM_Home in this guide) directories are created on the machine. For information about identifying installation directories, see Section 4.1.3, "Identifying Installation Directories" and Section 4.2.4, "Identifying Installation Directories".

Note that two IDM_Home directories are mentioned in descriptions and procedures throughout this guide. For example, the first one, Oracle_IDM1 can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Directory Services Manager, Oracle Directory Integration Platform, and Oracle Identity Federation. The second one, Oracle_IDM2 can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, and Oracle Identity Navigator.

However, note that Oracle_IDM1 and Oracle_IDM2 are used as examples in this guide. You can specify any name for either of your IDM_Home directories. In addition, you can install the two distinct Oracle Identity Management suites in any order on your machine.

If you choose to use the default names, the first installation creates an Oracle_IDM1 directory, and the second installation creates an Oracle_IDM2 directory.
