15 Postinstallation Tasks for Oracle Collaboration Suite

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Section 15.1, "Setting Environment Variables"

• Section 15.2, "Modifying Password Settings for Oracle Internet Directory"

• Section 15.3, "Enabling SSL"

• Section 15.4, "Performing Component-Specific Tasks"

15.1 Setting Environment Variables

After the installation is complete, you might need to set the environment variables listed in the following section. These environment variables are required for proper functioning of some Oracle Collaboration Suite commands. Variables that you must set are listed in the following table:

Variable Name	Bourne, Korn, or Derivative Shells	C Shell
ORACLE_HOME	ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/ocs; export ORACLE_HOME	setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/oracle/product/ocs
PATH PATH must include ORACLE_HOME/bin.	PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH	setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
DISPLAY DISPLAY must point to a running X server. Do not use X emulation on your client computer to start server processes. Run X server instead.	DISPLAY= X server:display_number.screen_number; export DISPLAY For example: DISPLAY= localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY	setenv DISPLAY X server:display_number.screen_number For example: setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include $ORACLE_HOME/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH	setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib
LIBPATH LIBPATH must include $ORACLE_HOME/lib32	LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32; export LIBPATH	setenv LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
NLS_LANG (optional, for globalization support)	NLS_LANG=language_territory.characterset; export NLS_LANG For example: de_de.WE8ISO8859P15; export NLS_LANG	setenv NLS_LANG language_territory.characterset For example: setenv de_de.WE8ISO8859P15
ORA_NLS ORA_NLS is the location of the globalization support-specific message files.	ORA_NLS=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data; export ORA_NLS	setenv ORA_NLS $ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
TNS_ADMIN TNS_ADMIN is the location of the SQL*Net configuration files tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and by default these are located in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.	TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN	setenv TNS_ADMIN $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

Note:

You can source the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oraenv or $ORACLE_HOME/bin/coraenv scripts (depending on their current shell) to set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables. These scripts will also add $ORACLE_HOME/bin in to the PATH variable.

15.2 Modifying Password Settings for Oracle Internet Directory

Beginning with Oracle Internet Directory 10g (9.0.4), the default password expiry time, which is assigned to the pwdmaxage attribute, is set to 60 days.

To change the default value, perform the following steps:

1. Perform this step only if your Oracle Internet Directory account is locked. Unlock the cn=orcladmin superuser account before you can modify password policies. Use the oidpasswd utility to unlock the superuser account as follows:

   oidpasswd connect=ocsdb unlock_su_acct=true
   OID DB user password:
   OID super user account unlocked successfully.
   
   

   This unlocks only the superuser account, cn=orcladmin. Do not confuse this account with the cd=orcladmin account within the default realm cn=orcladmin,cn=users,dc=xxxxx,dc=yyyyy. These are two separate accounts.

2. Start an Oracle Internet Directory 10g (10.1.2) version of Oracle Directory Manager and navigate to Password Policy Management. You will see two entries: cn=PwdPolicyEntry and the password policy for your realm—for example, password_policy_entry,dc=acme,dc=com.

   Change the pwdmaxage attribute in each password policy to an appropriate value:

   • 5184000 = 60 days (default)

   • 7776000 = 90 days

   • 10368000 = 120 days

   • 15552000 = 180 days

   • 31536000 = 1 year

3. Start the Oracle Directory Manager and navigate to the realm-specific orcladmin account. Find the userpassword attribute and assign a new value. You should then be able to start any Oracle component that uses Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On and log in as orcladmin.

   Rerun the odisrvreg utility to reset the randomly generated password for Directory Integration and Provisioning:

   odisrvreg -D cn=orcladmin -w welcome1 -p 3060
   Already Registered...Updating DIS password...
   DIS registration successful.
   
   

4. Reregister the connector:

   odisrvreg -p port -D cn=orcladmin -w passwd

15.3 Enabling SSL

You may want to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) depending on your security requirements. For detailed information on enabling SSL in Oracle Collaboration Suite, refer to Chapter 7, "Enabling SSL in Oracle Collaboration Suite", of Oracle Collaboration Suite Security Guide.

15.4 Performing Component-Specific Tasks

After you have successfully installed Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications and if you have installed Oracle Mail as a part of the Applications tier, then perform the following steps:

1. Log in as the oracle user.

2. Obtain the values of uid and groupid using the following command:

   prompt> id
   uid=509(oracle) gid=510(oinstall) groups=510(oinstall),511(dba) 
   
   

3. Switch to the root user.

4. Set the ORACLE_HOME and PATH variables.

5. Start the TNS listener using the following command:

   tnslsnr listener_es -user user_id -group group_id &
   
   

   In the preceding command, user_id and group_id are the IDs of user that owns the installation. Here, assuming the oracle user installed Oracle Collaboration Suite, user_id refers to the value 509 and group_id refers to the value 510, as shown in Step 3.
