Installation of a Rack-Mounted Directory Server

To install a rack-mounted directory server:

1. On the database node, install Oracle Internet Directory.

   When prompted to select a product, choose the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure.

   When prompted to choose one of various installation types, choose the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository installation type.

2. On the first rack-mounted node, install OracleAS Portal Infrastructure > Identity Management.

   When prompted for configuration options, select Oracle Internet Directory.

   When prompted to specify repository, enter sys dba username/password, the name of the database node, and the listener port number. This installs Oracle Internet Directory and configures the base schema against the remote database.

3. On each other node:
   1. Install OracleAS Portal infrastructure > Identity Management.

   2. When prompted to select configuration options, deselect all configuration options including Oracle Internet Directory. This installs Oracle Internet Directory but does not attempt to configure the schema against the remote database.

   3. Copy the tnsnames.ora from the first rack-mounted node into the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.

   4. Execute the OID Database Password Utility to set up the wallet. To do this, enter:

      oidpasswd connect=connect_string_for_the_database_node create_
      wallet=TRUE current_password=Oracle Application Server_admin_password.
      
      

      The connect_string_for_the_database_node is the same as that in the tnsnames.ora file you just copied from the first rack-mounted node in Step c.

      The Oracle Application Server_admin_password is the same as the one you used when installing on the first rack-mounted node.

   5. Start the directory server as follows.

      oidmon [connect=connect_string_for_the_database_node] 
      [host=virtual/host_name][sleep=seconds] start
      
      oidctl connect=connect_string_for_the_database_node server=oidldapd 
      instance=server_instance_number [configset=configset_number] 
      [host=virtual/host_name][flags=' -p port_number -work maximum_number_of_
      worker_threads_per_server -debug debug_level -l change_logging' -server 
      number_of_server_processes] start
