18 Configuring Oracle Adaptive Access Manager

This chapter explains how to configure Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM). It includes the following topics:

18.1 Overview

For Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.1.5.0, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager includes two components:

  • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Online)

  • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Offline)

Note:

Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Offline) is included in the Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite. When you are installing Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.1.5.0, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Offline) is also installed along with Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM). For configuring Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Offline), see Configuring Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Offline).

18.2 Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for installing and configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) products:

  1. Installing Oracle Database, as described in Installing Oracle Database.

  2. Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and creating a Middleware Home, as described in Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Oracle Middleware Home.

  3. Creating and loading schemas using Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU), as described in Creating Database Schema Using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU).

  4. Installing the Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) suite, as described in Installing Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.5.0). The Oracle Identity and Access Management suite contains Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), Oracle Access Manager (OAM), Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM), Oracle Entitlements Server (OES), and Oracle Identity Navigator (OIN).

18.3 Important Notes Before You Begin

Before you start installing and configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management products in any of the scenarios discussed in this chapter, keep the following points in mind:

It is assumed that you are installing Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, and Oracle Identity Navigator on the same machine.

Note:

In this chapter, two IDM_Home directories are mentioned in descriptions and procedures. For example, the first one, IDM_Home 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, IAM_Home can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Entitlements Server, and Oracle Identity Navigator.

However, note that IDM_Home and IAM_Home are used as examples in this document. You can specify any name for either of your IDM_Home directories. In addition, you can install the two Oracle Identity Management suites (one containing Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Directory Services Manager, Oracle Directory Integration Platform, and Oracle Identity Federation; another containing Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Entitlements Server, and Oracle Identity Navigator) in any order on your machine.

18.7 Starting the Servers

After installing and configuring Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, you must run the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server and various Managed Servers, as described in Starting the Stack.

Note:

If you are upgrading from Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g to Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g, do not start Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Managed Servers until you have performed the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Middle Tier Upgrade using the Upgrade Assistant tool. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management.

18.8 Post-Installation Steps

After installing and configuring Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Create Oracle WebLogic Server Users as follows:

    1. Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console for your WebLogic administration domain.

    2. Click on Security Realms, and then click on your security realm.

    3. Click the Users and Groups tab, and then click the Users tab under it.

    4. Create a user, such as user1, in the security realm.

    5. Assign the user user1 to rule administrators and environment administrators groups.

  2. Set up and back up Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Encryption Keys, as described in the "Setting Up Encryption and Database Credentials for OAAM" topic in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager. Ensure that you have a backup of the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Encryption Keys; they are required if you want to re-create the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager domain.

  3. Import Snapshot of Policies as follows:

    A full snapshot of policies, dependent components and configurations is shipped with Oracle Adaptive Access Manager. The snapshot is in the oaam_base_snapshot.zip file and located in the MW_HOME/IAM_ORACLE_HOME/oaam/init directory.

    It contains the following items that must be imported into OAAM:

    • Challenge questions for English (United States)

      During registration, which could be enrollment, opening a new account, or another events such as a reset, the user selects different questions from a list of questions and enters answers to them. These questions, called challenge questions, are used to authenticate users.

      Questions for the languages you want to support must be in the system before users can be asked to register. These questions may also be required to log in to OAAM Server.

    • Entity definitions

      The actors that are tracked during authentication are called authentication entities and include user, city, device, and so on. These base entities are required to enable conditions that are used for patterns.

    • Out-of-the-box patterns

      Patterns are used by Oracle Adaptive Access Manager to either define one bucket or dynamically create buckets. Oracle Adaptive Access Manager collects data and populates these buckets with members based on pattern parameters, and rules perform risk evaluations on dynamically changing membership and distributions of the buckets.

    • Out-of-the-box configurable actions

      Configurable actions are actions that are triggered based on the result action or risk scoring or both after a checkpoint execution. The configurable actions are built using action templates.

      Note:

      If you are upgrading from Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10.1.4.5 to Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g, you will see that the names and descriptions of the out-of-the-box action templates are slightly different, since the action templates in Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g are globalized and hence the difference.

    • Out-of-the-box policies

      Policies are designed to help evaluate and handle business activities or potentially risky activities that are encountered in day-to-day operation.

    • Any groups

      Collections of items used in rules, user groups, and action and alert groups are shipped with OAAM.

    Notes:

    • If you need to customize any properties, you should import the snapshot into your new test system, make the changes, export the snapshot, and import it into your new system. Alternatively you can import the snapshot on the new system and make the property changes directly, thereby eliminating the test system completely.

    • For customers who are upgrading from 11.1.1.3.0 to 11.1.1.5.0: Do not import the snapshot. This procedure is only for first time initial setup. Importing a snapshot wipes out the existing environment and replaces it with a new one. For upgrades, import separate zip files for the entities, definitions, or policies.

    For upgrading policies, components, and configurations, perform a backup, and then import the separate file. The following are available:

    • Default questions are shipped in the oaam_kba_questions_<locale>.zip files, which are located in the <MW_HOME>/<IAM_ORACLE_HOME>/oaam/init/kba_questions directory. The locale identifier <locale> specifies the language version.

    • Base policies are shipped in the oaam_sample_policies_for_uio_integration.zip file, which is located in the <MW_HOME>/<IAM_ORACLE_HOME>/oaam/init directory.

    • Configurable action templates are shipped in the OOTB_Configurable_Actions.zip file, which is located in the <MW_HOME>/<IAM_ORACLE_HOME>/oaam/init directory.

    • Base-authentication required entities are shipped in the Auth_EntityDefinition.zip file, which is located in the <MW_HOME>/<IAM_ORACLE_HOME>/oaam/init directory.

  4. Load Location Data into the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager database as follows:

    1. Configure the IP Location Loader script, as described in the topics "OAAM Command Line Interface Scripts" and "Importing IP Location Data" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

    2. Make a copy of the sample.bharosa_location.properties file, which is located under the <MW_HOME>/<IAM_Home>/oaam/cli directory. Enter location data details in the location.data properties, as in the following examples:

      location.data.provider=quova

      location.data.file=/tmp/quova/EDITION_Gold_2008-07-22_v374.dat.gz

      location.data.ref.file=/tmp/quova/EDITION_Gold_2008-07-22_v374.ref.gz

      location.data.anonymizer.file=/tmp/quova/anonymizers_2008-07-09.dat.gz

    3. Run the loader on the command line as follows:

      On Windows: loadIPLocationData.cmd

      On UNIX: ./loadIPLocationData.sh

      Ensure that the Oracle Middleware Home (MW_HOME) environment variable is set before running the loadIPLocationData script.

18.9 Verifying the OAAM Installation

After completing the installation process, including post-installation steps, you can verify the installation and configuration of Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM) as follows:

  1. Start the Administration Server to register the newly created managed servers with the domain. To start the Administration Server, run the following command:

    • On Windows: At the command prompt, run the startWebLogic script to start the Administration Server, as in the following example:

      \middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin\startWebLogic

    • On UNIX: At the $ prompt, run the startWebLogic.sh script, as in the following example:

      sh /MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startWebLogic.sh

  2. Start the Managed Server, as described in Starting the Servers.

    Wait for the Administration Server and the Managed Server to start up.

  3. Log in to the Administration Server for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, using the admin server username and password. Log in to the Administration Server using the following URL:

    http://<host>:<oaam_admin_server1_port>/oaam_admin

  4. Log in to the Oracle Adaptive Access Managed Server using the following URL:

    https://<host>:<oaam_server_server1_sslport>:oaam_server

18.10 Migrating Policy and Credential Stores

You begin policy and credential store migration by creating the JPS root and then you reassociate the policy and credential store with Oracle Internet Directory.

Migrating policy and credential stores involves the following steps:

  1. Creating JPS Root

  2. Reassociating the Policy and Credential Store

18.10.1 Creating JPS Root

Create the jpsroot in Oracle Internet Directory using the command line ldapadd command as shown in these steps:

  1. Create an ldif file similar to this:

    dn: cn=jpsroot_iam
    cn: jpsroot_iam_iam
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: orclcontainer
    
  2. Use ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapadd to add these entries to Oracle Internet Directory. For example:

    ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapadd -h oid.mycompany.com -p 389 -D cn="orcladmin" -w
    welcome1 -c -v -f jps_root.ldif
    

18.10.2 Reassociating the Policy and Credential Store

To reassociate the policy and credential store with Oracle Internet Directory, use the WLST reassociateSecurityStore command. Follow these steps:

  1. From IAMHOST1, start the wlst shell from the ORACLE_HOME/common/bin directory. For example:

    ./wlst.sh
    
  2. Connect to the WebLogic Administration Server using the wlst connect command shown below.

    connect('AdminUser',"AdminUserPassword",t3://hostname:port')
    

    For example:

    connect("weblogic_iam,"welcome1","t3://iamhost-vip.mycompany.com:7001")
    
  3. Run the reassociateSecurityStore command as shown below:

    Syntax:

    reassociateSecurityStore(domain="domainName",admin="cn=orcladmin",
    password="orclPassword",ldapurl="ldap://LDAPHOST:LDAPPORT",servertype="OID",
    jpsroot="cn=jpsRootContainer")
    

    For example:

    wls:/IAMDomain/serverConfig> reassociateSecurityStore(domain="IAMDomain",
    admin="cn=orcladmin",password="password",
    ldapurl="ldap://oid.mycompany.com:389",servertype="OID",
    jpsroot="cn=jpsroot_iam_iamhost1")
    

    The output for the command is as follows:

    {servertype=OID, jpsroot=cn=jpsroot_iam, admin=cn=orcladmin,
    domain=IAMDomain, ldapurl=ldap://oid.mycompany.com:389, password=password}
    Location changed to domainRuntime tree. This is a read-only tree with
    DomainMBean as the root.
    For more help, use help(domainRuntime)
