7.6 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 Appendix C, "Starting the Stack". Ensure that you start the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Administration Server before starting the Managed Servers.

7.7 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 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager:

    • 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 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 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 Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

    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 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.

    Note:

    For more information about policies, see "Importing the OAAM Snapshot" and "Managing Policies, Rules, and Conditions" topics in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

  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 (on UNIX). On Windows, the sample.bharosa_location.properties file 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:

      On Windows:

      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

      On UNIX:

      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.

Note:

If you wish to generate CSF keys or passwords manually, see the "Setting Up Encryption and Database Credentials for OAAM" topic in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager.

7.8 Verifying the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Installation

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

      <MW_HOME>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin\startWebLogic

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

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

  2. Start the Managed Server, as described in Section 7.6, "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

7.9 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

7.9.1 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

7.9.2 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.
