2.6 Getting Started with a New Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate

Before you can use the new Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate agent for Oracle Access Manager, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Registering the New Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate

  2. Copying Generated Files and Artifacts to the Oracle HTTP Server WebGate Instance Location

  3. Restarting the Oracle HTTP Server Instance

2.6.1 Registering the New Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate

You can register the new WebGate agent with Oracle Access Manager by using the Oracle Access Manager Administration console. For more information, see "Registering an OAM Agent Using the Console" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management.

Alternatively, you can use the RREG command-line tool to register a new WebGate agent. You can use the tool to run in two modes: In-Band and Out-Of-Band.

This section contains the following topics:

2.6.1.1 Setting Up the RREG Tool

To set up the RREG tool, complete the following steps:

  • On UNIX

    1. After installing and configuring Oracle Access Manager, go to the following directory:

      Oracle_IDM2/oam/server/rreg/client

    2. Untar the RREG.tar.gz file.

      Example:

      gunzip RREG.tar.gz

      tar -xvf RREG.tar

    The tool for registering the agent is located at:

    RREG_Home/bin/oamreg.sh

    Note:

    RREG_Home is the directory in which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar.gz/rreg.

  • On Windows

    1. After installing and configuring Oracle Access Manager, go to the following location:

      Oracle_IDM2\oam\server\rreg\client

    2. Extract the contents of the RREG.tar.zip file to a destination of your choice.

The tool for registering the agent is located at:

RREG_Home\bin\oamreg.bat

Note:

RREG_Home is the directory in which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar.gz/rreg.

Set the following environment variables in the oamreg.sh script. on UNIX, and oamreg.bat script, on Windows:

  • OAM_REG_HOME

    Set this variable to the absolute path to the directory in which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar/rreg.

  • JDK_HOME

    Set this variable to the absolute path to the directory in which Java or JDK is installed on your machine.

2.6.1.2 Updating the OAM11gRequest.xml File

You must update the agent parameters, such as agentName, in the OAM11GRequest.xml file in the RREG_Home\input directory on Windows. On UNIX, the file is in the RREG_Home/input directory.

Note:

The OAM11GRequest.xml file or the short version OAM11GRequest_short.xml is used as a template. You can copy this template file and use it.

Modify the following required parameters in the OAM11GRequest.xml file or in the OAM11GRequest_short.xml file:

  • serverAddress

    Specify the host and the port of the OAM Administration Server.

  • agentName

    Specify any custom name for the agent.

  • agentBaseUrl

    Specify the host and the port of the machine on which Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate is installed.

  • preferredHost

    Specify the host and the port of the machine on which Oracle HTTP Server 11g WebGate is installed.

  • security

    Specify the security mode, such as open, based on the WebGate installed.

After modifying the file, save and close it.

2.6.1.3 Using the In-Band Mode

If you run the RREG tool once after updating the WebGate parameters in the OAM11GRequest.xml file, the files and artifacts required by WebGate are generated in the following directory:

On UNIX:

RREG_Home/output/agent_name

On Windows:

RREG_Home\output\agent_name

Note:

You can run RREG either on a client machine or on the server. If you are running it on the server, you must manually copy the artifacts back to the client.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Open the OAM11GRequest.xml file, which is in RREG_Home/input/ on UNIX and RREG_Home\input on Windows. RREG_Home is the directory on which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar.gz/rreg.

    Edit the XML file and specify parameters for the new Oracle HTTP Server WebGate for Oracle Access Manager.

  2. Run the following command:

    On UNIX:

    ./RREG_Home/bin/oamreg.sh inband input/OAM11GRequest.xml

    On Windows:

    RREG_Home\bin\oamreg.bat inband input\OAM11GRequest.xml

2.6.1.4 Using the Out-Of-Band Mode

If you are an end user with no access to the server, you can email your updated OAM11GRequest.xml file to the system administrator, who can run RREG in the out-of-band mode. You can collect the generated AgentID_Response.xml file from the system administrator and run RREG on this file to obtain the WebGate files and artifacts you require.

After you receive the generated AgentID_Response.xml file from the administrator, you must manually copy the file to the input directory on your machine.

  • On UNIX

    Complete the following steps:

    1. If you are an end user with no access to the server, open the OAM11GRequest.xml file, which is in RREG_Home/input/.

      RREG_Home is the directory on which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar.gz/rreg. Edit this XML file and specify parameters for the new Oracle HTTP Server WebGate for Oracle Access Manager. Send the updated file to your system administrator.

    2. If you are an administrator, copy the updated OAM11GRequest.xml file, which is in RREG_Home/input/ directory.

      This is the file that you received from the end user. Go to your (administrator's) RREG_Home directory and run the following command:

      ./RREG_Home/bin/oamreg.sh outofband input/OAM11GRequest.xml

      An Agent_ID_Response.xml file is generated in the output directory on the administrator's machine, in the RREG_Home/output/ directory. Send this file to the end user who sent you the updated OAM11GRequest.xml file.

    3. If you are an end user, copy the generated Agent_ID_Response.xml file, which is in RREG_Home/input/.

      This is the file that you received from the administrator. Go to your (client's) RREG home directory and run the following command on the command line:

      ./RREG_Home/bin/oamreg.sh outofband input/Agent_ID_Response.xml

    Note:

    If you register the WebGate agent by using the Oracle Access Manager Administration Console, as described in "Registering an OAM Agent Using the Console" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Manager, you must manually copy the files and artifacts generated after the registration from the server (the machine on which the Oracle Access Manager Administration Console is running) to the client machine. The files and artifacts are generated in the MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/name_of_the_WebLogic_domain_for_OAM/output/Agent_ID directory.

  • On Windows

    Complete the following steps:

    1. If you are an end user with no access to the server, open the OAM11GRequest.xml file, which is in RREG_Home\input\ directory.

      RREG_Home is the directory in which you extracted the contents of RREG.tar.gz/rreg. Edit this XML file, specify parameters for the new Oracle HTTP Server WebGate for Oracle Access Manager, and send the updated file to your system administrator.

    2. If you are an administrator, copy the updated OAM11GRequest.xml file, which is in RREG_Home\input\. This is the file you received from the end user. Go to your (administrator's) RREG_Home directory and run the following command:

      RREG_Home\bin\oamreg.bat outofband input\OAM11GRequest.xml

      An Agent_ID_Response.xml file is generated on the administrator's machine in the RREG_Home\output\ directory. Send this file to the end user who sent you the updated OAM11GRequest.xml file.

    3. If you are an end user, copy the generated Agent_ID_Response.xml file, which is in RREG_Home\input\. This is the file you received from the administrator. Go to your (client's) RREG home directory and run the following command:

      RREG_Home\bin\oamreg.bat outofband input\Agent_ID_Response.xml

    Note:

    If you register the WebGate agent by using the Oracle Access Manager Administration Console, as described in "Registering an OAM Agent Using the Console" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Manager, you must manually copy the files and artifacts generated after the registration from the server (the machine on which the Oracle Access Manager Administration Console is running) to the client machine. The files and artifacts are generated in the MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/name_of_the_WebLogic_domain_for_OAM/output/Agent_ID directory.

2.6.1.5 Files and Artifacts Generated by RREG

Regardless of the method or mode you use to register the new WebGate agent, the following files and artifacts are generated in the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory:

  • cwallet.sso

  • ObAccessClient.xml

  • In the SIMPLE mode, RREG generates:

    • password.xml, which contains the obfuscated global passphrase to encrypt the private key used in SSL. This passphrase can be the same as the passphrase used on the server.

    • aaa_key.pem

    • aaa_cert.pem

  • In the CERT mode, RREG generates password.xml, which contains the obfuscated global passphrase to encrypt the private key used in SSL. This passphrase can be different than the passphrase used on the server.

    Note:

    You can use these files generated by RREG to generate a certificate request and get it signed by a third-party Certification Authority. To install an existing certificate, you must use the existing aaa_cert.pem and aaa_chain.pem files along with password.xml and aaa_key.pem.

2.6.2 Copying Generated Files and Artifacts to the Oracle HTTP Server WebGate Instance Location

After RREG generates these files and artifacts, you must manually copy them, based on the security mode you are using, from the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory to the WebGate_Instance_Home directory.

Do the following according to the security mode you are using:

  • In OPEN mode, copy the following files from the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory:

    • ObAccessClient.xml

    • cwallet.sso

  • In SIMPLE mode, copy the following files from the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory:

    • ObAccessClient.xml

    • cwallet.sso

    • password.xml

    In addition, copy the following files from the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config/simple directory:

    • aaa_key.pem

    • aaa_cert.pem

  • In CERT mode, copy the following files from the RREG_Home/output/Agent_ID directory to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory:

    • ObAccessClient.xml

    • cwallet.sso

    • password.xml

Generating a New Certificate

You can generate a new certificate as follows:

  1. Go to the WebGate_Home/webgate/ohs/tools/openssl directory.

  2. Create a certificate request as follows:

    ./openssl req -utf8 -new -nodes -config openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf -keyout aaa_key.pem -out aaa_req.pem -rand WebGate_Home/webgate/ohs/config/random-seed

  3. Self-sign the certificate as follows:

    ./openssl ca -config openssl_silent_ohs11g.cnf -policy policy_anything -batch -out aaa_cert.pem -infiles aaa_req.pem

  4. Copy the following generated certificates to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory:

    • aaa_key.pem

    • aaa_cert.pem

    • cacert.pem located in the simpleCA directory

      Note:

      After copying the cacert.pem file, you must rename the file to aaa_chain.pem.

Migrating an Existing Certificate

If you want to migrate an existing certificate (aaa_key.pem, aaa_cert.pem, and aaa_chain.pem), ensure that you use the same passphrase that you used to encrypt aaa_key.pem. You must enter the same passphrase during the RREG registration process. If you do not use the same passphrase, the password.xml file generated by RREG does not match the passphrase used to encrypt the key.

If you enter the same passphrase, you can copy these certificates as follows:

  1. Go to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory.

  2. Copy the following certificates to the WebGate_Instance_Home/webgate/config directory:

    • aaa_key.pem

    • aaa_cert.pem

    • aaa_chain.pem

2.6.3 Restarting the Oracle HTTP Server Instance

You can use the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) command-line tool to start or stop your Oracle HTTP Server instance. If any instances are running, run the following command on the command-line to stop all running instances:

Oracle_Home_for_Oracle_HTTP_Server/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall

To restart the Oracle HTTP Server instance, run the following commands on the command line:

  1. Oracle_Home_for_Oracle_HTTP_Server/opmn/bin/opmnctl start

  2. Oracle_Home_for_Oracle_HTTP_Server/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=Oracle_HTTP_Server_Instance_Name

    MIDDLEWARE_HOME=/home/MW_HOME
    [SYSTEM]
    [APPLICATIONS]
    [RELATIONSHIPS]
    

    In the preceding file, the parameters are as follows:

  2. Extract the contents of the installer to a directory.

  3. Run the following command:

    WebGate_Installer_Directory/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc jre_location -invPtrLoc Absolute_Path_Of_the_oraInst.loc_file -silent -response Absolute_Path_Of_the_silent.rsp_file

    In the preceding command:

    • WebGate_Installer_Directory is the absolute path to the directory in which you have extracted the contents of the WebGate installer.

    • jre_location is the absolute path to the JRE directory.

    • Absolute_Path_Of_the_oraInst.loc_file is the absolute path to the oraInst.loc file.
