9 Configuring Oracle Directory Integration Platform

This chapter explains how to configure Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP).

This chapter discusses the following topics:

9.1 Prerequisites

Ensure the prerequisites are met depending on the component you wish to configure. This section discusses the following topics:

9.1.1 Option 1: ODIP with Oracle Internet Directory

If you want to configure Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP) with Oracle Internet Directory, ensure that Oracle Internet Directory is installed and configured as described in Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) Software.

9.1.2 Option 2: ODIP with Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE)

If you want to configure Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP) with Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE) ensure that the following prerequisites are met.

9.1.2.1 Installing Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE)

Ensure that Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE) is installed, as described in the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Installation Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0), available at the following link:

https://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E20295_01/html/821-1218/index.html

9.1.2.2 Setting Up Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE)

Follow the steps below for setting Up Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE):

Go to <DSEE_HOME>/bin directory and execute the following commands:

  • Create a new ODSEE server instance.

    ./dsadm create <ODSEE instance>

    For Example:

    ./dsadm create /scratch/<userid>/dsee/dseeinstance1/

  • Start the ODSEE server instance.

    ./dsadm start <ODSEE instance>

    For Example:

    ./dsadm start /scratch/<userid>/dsee/dseeinstance1/

  • Create the root suffix.

    ./dsconf create-suffix -h <ODSEE Server> -p <ODSEE port> <SUFFIX_DN>

    where the SUFFIX_DN is the full DN of the new suffix. For a root suffix, the convention is to use the domain-component (dc) naming attribute.

    For Example, to create a suffix for the DN dc=example,dc=com , use this command:

    ./dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com

  • Enable changelog.

    ./dsconf set-server-prop -h <ODSEE Server> -p <ODSEE port> retro-cl-enabled:on

    For Example:

    ./dsconf set-server-prop -h localhost -p 1389 retro-cl-enabled:on

  • Restart the ODSEE server instance.

    ./dsadm restart <ODSEE instance>

    For Example:

    ./dsadm restart /scratch/<userid>/dsee/dseeinstance1/

9.4.3 Post-Configuration Steps

After configuring Oracle Directory Integration Platform, perform the following tasks:

  1. Run the <MW_HOME>/oracle_common/common/bin/setNMProps.sh script (on UNIX) or <MW_HOME>\oracle_common\common\bin\setNMProps.cmd (on Windows).

  2. Start the Administration Server, Node Manager and Managed Server as described in Starting the Stack.

  3. Set the WL_HOME and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and execute <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dipConfigurator. Provide the following information when prompted for input.

    • WebLogic host, port, username and password details.

    • Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition (ODSEE) host, port, username and password details.

    • Specify the suffix under which DIP metadata is to be stored.

  4. Verify the Oracle Directory Integration Platform(ODIP) installation and configuration. For more information, see Verifying ODIP.

  5. The dipConfigurator will set the below ACIs for the specified metadata suffix. But for the other suffixes, set the below ACIs for the containers in OUD, in order to write the changes imported from the other sources:

    dn: <Container DN>
    changetype:modify
    add: aci
    aci: (target="ldap:///<Container DN>")(version 3.0; acl "Anonymous read-search
    access"; allow (read,add,delete,search,write,compare,proxy) 
    groupdn="ldap:///cn=dipadmingrp,cn=DIPadmins,cn=Directory Integration
    Platform,<metadata suffix>"; allow
    (read,add,delete,search,write,compare,proxy)  
    groupdn="ldap:///cn=odipigroup,cn=DIPadmins,cn=Directory Integration
    Platform,<metadata suffix>"; )
    -
    add: aci
    aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Anonymous read-search access"; allow
    (search,read,write,compare,add)
    groupdn="ldap:///cn=dipadmingrp,cn=DIPadmins,cn=Directory Integration
    Platform,<metadata suffix>"; allow (search,read,write,compare,add)
    groupdn="ldap:///cn=odipigroup,cn=DIPadmins,cn=Directory Integration
    Platform,<metadata suffix>";)
    

Note:

ODIP configuration can be recreated any number of times if ODIP configuration is deleted or corrupted. However, if there are any sync profiles that already exists, the connected directory password of the existing profiles needs to be reset after executing dipConfigurator.

For recreating the ODIP configuration, re-run step 3 and step 4.

9.5 Verifying ODIP

Verify the Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP) installation using the dipStatus command, which is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ directory.

Note:

You must set the WL_HOME and ORACLE_HOME environment variables before executing the dipStatus command.

The following is the syntax for the dipStatus command:

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dipStatus -h HOST -p PORT -D wlsuser [-help]
  • -h | -host identifies the Oracle WebLogic Server where Oracle Directory Integration Platform is deployed.

  • -p | -port identifies the listening port of the Oracle WebLogic Managed Server where Oracle Directory Integration Platform is deployed.

  • -D | -wlsuser identifies the Oracle WebLogic Server login ID.

Note:

You will be prompted for the Oracle WebLogic Server login password. You cannot provide the password as a command-line argument.

Best security practice is to provide a password only in response to a prompt from the command. If you must execute dipStatus from a script, you can redirect input from a file containing the Oracle WebLogic Server password. Use file permissions to protect the file and delete it when it is no longer necessary.

9.6 Getting Started with ODIP After Installation

After you install Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP), no additional configuration is needed. The next step is to create synchronization profiles.

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Integration Guide for Oracle Identity Management explains how to manage Oracle Directory Integration Platform. For information about creating synchronization profiles using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console, refer to the "Managing Synchronization Profiles Using Fusion Middleware Control" section in that guide.
