Preface

This Oracle Access Manager Configuration Manager Installation and Administration Guide provides information about pushing configuration data changes from one Oracle Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.0.1), or Oracle COREid Release 7.0.4, deployment to another. For example, when pushing changes from a development deployment to a pre-production deployment. Included are considerations, prerequisites, and step-by-step instructions to help ensure your success.

Note:

Oracle COREid was previously known as Oblix NetPoint. Oracle Access Manager was previously known as Oracle COREid. Oracle COREid 7.0.4 was made available as part of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). For this reason, Oracle COREid 7.0.4 manuals were branded with 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).

This Preface covers the following topics:

• Audience

• Documentation Accessibility

• Related Documents

• Conventions

Audience

This guide targets the needs of anyone who is responsible for installing and managing the Oracle Access Manager Configuration Manager. In addition, this book is helpful for anyone responsible for pushing configuration data changes from one Oracle Access Manager 10g (10.1.4.0.1), or Oracle COREid Release 7.0.4, deployment to another. In this guide, configuration data refers to Oracle Access Manager, or Oracle COREid, configuration data and access policy data stored in an LDAP directory.

This document assumes that you are familiar with your network architecture, your LDAP directory, as well as firewall and internet security. In addition, you need to be familiar with your existing Oracle Access Manager, or Oracle COREid, deployments.
