6 Configuring Identity Management

Grid Control automatically discovers the OID LDAP Server and Single Sign-On Server targets for Oracle Identity Management for Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1.

Note:

See Chapter 11, "Configuring Enterprise Manager to Manage Application Server Infrastructure Targets" for information on setting up Grid Control to monitor the Identity Management components of Oracle Collaboration Suite Release 1 and 2.

The following sections describe the steps to complete the configuration of Identity Management targets in Grid Control.

6.1 Configuring the OID Client Target

The OID Client is a target that monitors performance and availability by simulating usage by the other Oracle Collaboration Suite components. As a result, you should have one such target for each configured component that relies upon connections to the Oracle Internet Directory. Alternatively, to avoid configuring too many OID Client targets, you can create OID Client targets for the representative Oracle Email components on your network.

To create the OID Client target:

1. Using the Grid Control Console, navigate to the Agent home page for the Oracle Management Agent that was installed on the OID Client host. This is the host for your mid-tier installation.

   1. Log into Grid Control.

   2. Click the Targets tab.

   3. Click the host name. This displays the host Home page.

   4. Click the Targets tab on the host Home page. The host Targets page displays a list of targets on the host.

   5. Click on the name of an Agent target (check the Type column to determine which targets are Agent targets). Grid Control displays the Home page for the Agent target.

2. In the Monitored Targets section of the page, select OID Client from the Add list. Click Go. On the property page for the OID Client target type, provide the required properties, using Table 6-1.

3. Click OK to create the OID Client target.

Table 6-1 OID Client Target Properties

Property	Description
LDAP Client Oracle Home Path	The path of the Oracle home of the LDAP Client machine, that is, the Oracle Collaboration Suite mid-tier. This will be used to invoke the ldapsearch or ldapcompare utility for the computation of the various OID Client metrics. You can find the Oracle home path on the Target tab of the Host home page.
LDAP Host	The host name of the machine where the LDAP server is running.
LDAP Port	The port where the LDAP server is running. Typically this is port 389.
LDAP User	The user name of a test user account that is needed for the ldapsearch or ldapcompare command. It is possible to simply use the default user setup for Grid Control monitoring. You can use cn=orcladmin with the password you set during installation.
LDAP Password	The password of the test user account that is needed for the ldapsearch or ldapcompare command. Use the password for orcladmin that you set during installation.
DC	The domain component, that is, the domain name of the component in a Domain Name System (DNS). For example: dc=uk,dc=acme,dc=com

6.2 Creating the Oracle Identity Management Group Target

Follow these steps to create the Identity Management target:

1. In Grid Control, click the Targets tab.

2. Click All Targets.

3. Select Collaboration Suite Component from the Add menu and click Go.

4. Select Identity Management from the Component Type list.

5. Enter a name for the Identity Management group in the Name field. For example, enter Identity Management Group.

6. Select the targets that you want to add to the group from the Available Targets list and add them to the Selected Targets list.

   Be sure to include the following targets:

   • The host where the Identity Management targets resides

   • The OID LDAP Server target

   • The Single Sign-On Server target

7. Click OK to create the group target.

   Note:

   The Identity Management group target is a custom group target. After creation, it appears on the All Targets page in Grid Control, not on the Groups page. Only generic group targets appear on the Groups page.
