Discovering Identity Management Targets

This section describes how to discover Identity Management targets.

Discovering Identity Management 11g

Enterprise Manager has a simple Discovery wizard for Oracle Identity Management 11g (including Oracle Internet Directory, Directory Integration Platform, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Identity Federation, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access and Oracle Identity Manager) targets. The Discovery wizard collects details about Oracle Identity Management 11g targets including information about the host, WebLogic User Name/Password, and other details.

Note:

Before discovering the targets associated with Oracle Access Manager 11g, download and install patch 10094106.

To discover Oracle Identity Management 11g (including Oracle Internet Directory, Directory Integration Platform, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Identity Federation, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager and Oracle Identity Manager), perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to Enterprise Manager. Select Targets, then select Middleware.
  2. From the Add menu, select Oracle Fusion Middleware/WebLogic Domain.
  3. Enter the information requested to discover Oracle Identity Management 11g targets.
    Field Description

    Administration Server Host

    Host on which the WebLogic domain for Identity Management is running. Import the certificates for this WLS domain on the agent if this is a secured domain.

    Port

    Port used for the WebLogic domain. Enter a number between 1 and 65535.

    User Name

    WebLogic domain user name.

    Password

    WebLogic domain password.

    Unique Domain Identifier

    A unique identifier for the Identity Management domain and is used to create a unique target name. The Unique Domain Identifier can contain only alphanumeric characters and the special character '_' and cannot contain any other special characters.

    Agent

    Agent that is running on the Identity Management host. Only an agent 12.1 or later can be used for finding targets.

    Advanced Fields

    Description

    JMX Protocol

    JMX protocol is used to make a JMX connection to the Administration Server.

    Discover Down Servers

    A signal to discover the servers that are down.

    JMX Service URl

    JMX Service URL is used to make a JMX connection to the Administration Server. If the URL is not specified, it will be created based on the input parameters. If the URL is specified, the Administration server host and port information must still be provided in the input parameters.

    External Parameters

    These parameters will be passed to the java process which makes a connection to the Administration Server. All the parameters must begin with -D.

    Discovery Debug File Name

    The agent side discovery messages for this session will be logged into this file. This file will be generated in the discovery agent's log directory <agent home>/sysman/log. If this file already exists, it will be updated.
  4. A list of all the Identity Management targets is displayed. Click Add to complete the discovery. Note: If the Configured Agent text-box is blank for one or more of the targets, copy and paste the Management Agent URL before you proceed.

Creating Identity Management Elements

This section describes how to create Identity Management elements.

Creating Identity and Access System Target

With Enterprise Manager, you can create an Identity and Access System target that can be modeled with any discovered Oracle Identity Management target (including both Identity Management 10g and Identity Management 11g targets) and the underlying hosts, databases and LDAP servers as the key components providing an end-to-end system oriented view of the monitored Identity Management environment.

The Identity and Access System target provides access to metrics, alerts, charts, and topology view. In addition to monitoring your Oracle Identity Management environment from a system perspective, you can also monitor your environment from a service-oriented perspective using the Cloud Control Service Level Management framework.

To create a target of type Identity and Access System associated with any of the monitored Identity Management targets, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to Enterprise Manager. Select Targets, then select Systems.
  2. From the Add menu, select Identity and Access System.
  3. Select the Identity Management root target that you would like to include in your system topology. This can be the WebLogic Domain or the ODSEE Registry server.

    Click Next to continue.

  4. Select the targets within the domain that you would like to include in your system topology. You can also add additional targets that are not in the Identity Management domain, for example, databases, non-Oracle middleware, and so on. Click Next to continue.
  5. Click Finish to complete the creation of Identity and Access System.

Creating Generic Service or Web Application Targets for Identity Management

The Discovery wizard for Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite allows you to create a System target to store the end-to-end topology of monitored Oracle Identity Management components. The Management Pack Plus for Identity Management allows you to create the following System targets:

  • Access Manager - Access System

  • Access Manager - Identity System

  • Identity Federation System

  • Identity Manager System

  • Identity and Access System

A System target is modeled with all monitored Oracle Identity Management components and the underlying hosts as the key components providing an end-to-end system oriented view of the monitored Oracle Identity Management environment.

A System target provides access to metrics, alerts, charts, and topology view of all the infrastructure components. In addition to monitoring your Oracle Identity Management environment from a system perspective, you can also monitor your environment from a service-oriented perspective using the Cloud Control Service Level Management framework.

With the Management Pack Plus for Identity Management, users can create targets of type Generic Service or Web Application associated with any of the monitored Identity Management Systems: Access Manager - Access System, Access Manager - Identity System, Identity Federation System, and Identity Manager System.

The Web Application or Generic Service target provides an end-to-end service oriented view of the monitored Oracle Identity Management targets with access to performance and usage metrics, service tests, service level rules, service availability definition, alerts, charts, and topology view.

To create a target of type Generic Service associated with any of the monitored Identity Management Systems, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to Enterprise Manager. Select Targets, then select Services.
  2. From the Add menu, select Generic Service.
  3. Enter the general information requested for the new Generic Service.

Creating a Service Dashboard Report

Once you have created Generic Service or Web Application targets associated with your monitored Oracle Identity Management Systems, you can create a Services Monitoring Dashboard that summarizes Service Level Agreement Compliance, Actual Service Level Achieved, Key Performance and Usage Metrics, and Status of Key Components. Perform the following steps to create a Services Monitoring Dashboard:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Reports, then select Information Publisher Reports.

  2. Click the Create button.

  3. Enter the general information requested for the new Report. Click the Elements tab after all information requested is entered.

    1. Title

      Enter a title for your new dashboard.

    2. Category/Sub-Category

      Select a category and sub-category for your dashboard, for example, Category: Monitoring, Sub-Category: Dashboards.

    3. Use the specified target

      Leave blank if this report has no report-wide target.

    4. Options - Visual Style

      Select Dashboard for a dashboard-view of your services.

  4. Enter the elements information requested for the new Report. Click the Schedule tab once all information requested is entered.

    1. Add

      Select Services Monitoring Dashboard and click Continue.

    2. Set Parameters

      Click Set Parameters. Select the available services and click the Move button to add them to the Selected Services.

  5. Enter the schedule information requested for the new Report. Click the Access tab once all information requested is entered.

    1. Schedule

      Enter your scheduling preferences for the report.

    2. E-Mail Report

      Enter the email address and preferences for the report recipient.

  6. Enter information about your access and security preferences for the new report. Click OK to create the new Services Monitoring Dashboard.
