This chapter covers the following topics:
Section 13.1, "Extending the Domain with Oracle Identity Navigator"
Section 13.2, "Backing Up the Application Tier Configuration"
Note:
You may skip this section if you already have Oracle Identity Navigator as part of your domain or if you have already extended the domain with Oracle Adaptive Access Manager. Oracle Identity Navigator is selected by default when you extend the domain with Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.
Oracle Identity Navigator is an administrative portal designed to act as a launch pad for Oracle Identity Management components. It enables you to access the Oracle Identity Management consoles from one site. It is installed with other Oracle Identity Management components, and enables you access other components by product discovery.
Oracle Identity Navigator is a Java EE application deployed on a Oracle WebLogic Administration Server. It uses Oracle Metadata Service.
The Oracle Identity Navigator report feature relies on Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
This section contains the following topics:
Section 13.1.2, "Configuring Oracle Identity Navigator on IDMHOST1"
Section 13.1.3, "Stopping and Starting the Administration Server IDMHOST1"
Section 13.1.4, "Provisioning Oracle Identity Navigator on IDMHOST1"
Section 13.1.5, "Configuring Oracle HTTP Servers to Access OIN Console"
Install the following software on IDMHOST1 and IDMHOST2 as described in Chapter 4.
Oracle WebLogic Server
Oracle Identity Management
Start the configuration wizard by executing the command:
MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/config.sh
Then proceed as follows:
On the Welcome Screen, select Extend an Existing WebLogic Domain. Click Next
On the screen Select a WebLogic Domain, using the Navigator, select the domain home of the Administration Server, for example:
/u01/app/oracle/plus/admin/IDMDomain/aserver/IDMDomain/
Click Next
On the Select Extension Source screen, select Oracle Identity Navigator. Click Next
The Configure RAC Multi Datasources screen shows the Multi Datasources for previously configured components in your domain. Do not make any changes. Click Next.
On the Select Optional Configuration screen, do not make any selections. Click Next
On the Configuration Summary screen, click Extend to extend the domain.
On the Extending Domain screen, click Done to exit the Configuration Wizard.
Stop and Start WebLogic Administration Server on IDMHOST1 as described in Section 20.1, "Starting and Stopping Oracle Identity Management Components."
In this Enterprise Deployment Topology, Oracle Identity Navigator is deployed to the Administration Server in an active-passive model. Since Oracle Identity Navigator is failed over along with the Administration Server, there is no need to provision Oracle Identity Navigator on IDMHOST2.
Follow the steps in Section 6.14, "Manually Failing Over the WebLogic Administration Server".
On each of the web servers on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2, a file called admin.conf was created in the directory ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OHS/component/moduleconf. (See Section 6.9, "Configuring Oracle HTTP Server for the WebLogic Administration Server".)
Edit admin.conf and add the following lines in the virtual host definition:
<Location /oinav>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WebLogicPort 7001
</Location>
After editing the file should look like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName admin.mycompany.com:80
ServerAdmin you@your.address
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
# Admin Server and EM
<Location /console>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WeblogicPort 7001
</Location>
<Location /consolehelp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WeblogicPort 7001
</Location>
<Location /em>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WeblogicPort 7001
</Location>
<Location /apm>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WebLogicPort 7001
</Location>
<Location /oinav>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost ADMINVHN
WebLogicPort 7001
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
Restart the Oracle HTTP Server, as described in Section 20.1, "Starting and Stopping Oracle Identity Management Components."
Validate the implementation using the Oracle Identity Navigator Console at http://admin.mycompany.com/oinav. The Oracle Identity Navigator login page is displayed. Log in using the WebLogic administrator's credentials.
It is an Oracle best practices recommendation to create a backup after successfully completing the installation and configuration of each tier, or at another logical point. Create a backup after verifying that the installation so far is successful. This is a quick backup for the express purpose of immediate restoration in case of problems in later steps. The backup destination is the local disk. You can discard this backup when the enterprise deployment setup is complete. After the enterprise deployment setup is complete, you can initiate the regular deployment-specific Backup and Recovery process. For more details, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
For information on database backups, refer to the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide.
To back up the installation to this point, follow these steps:
Back up the web tier as described in Section 5.5, "Backing up the Web Tier Configuration."
Back up the database. This is a full database backup, either hot or cold. The recommended tool is Oracle Recovery Manager.
Back up the Administration Server domain directory as described in Section 6.15, "Backing Up the WebLogic Domain."
Back up the Oracle Internet Directory as described in Section 7.7, "Backing up the Oracle Internet Directory Configuration."
Back up the Oracle Virtual Directory as described in Section 9.10, "Backing Up the Oracle Virtual Directory Configuration."
For information about backing up the application tier configuration, see Section 20.4, "Performing Backups and Recoveries."
