Oracle strongly recommends that you familiarize yourself with the components required for your deployment before starting to install Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle also recommends that you install and use the included Diagnostic Dashboard to ensure that your system is ready for installation. See "Using the Diagnostic Dashboard" for more information.
Oracle Identity Manager consists of the following:
Oracle Identity Manager software
An application server
A database
The following sections describe the hardware and software needed for a basic Oracle Identity Manager installation, which consists of the following:
A database server
An application server
An Oracle Identity Manager server (running in the application server)
A Design Console
An Administrative and User Console (running in a web-browser)
Important: The information in this guide applies generally to all Oracle Identity Manager 9.0.x versions. Always check the Oracle Identity Manager Release Notes for the hardware and software requirements and supported configurations specific to each version of the Oracle Identity Manager product. |
The following sections list the supported host computer, application server, and database requirements for installing Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0 and its components:
Note: You must obtain the enterprise versions of the application server and database software, complete with valid licenses. Oracle Identity Manager does not include this software. |
Caution: There is a possibility that the Oracle Identity Manager installation program may conflict with previously installed applications, utilities, or drivers. Therefore, try to remove all non-essential software and drivers from the installation machine before loading Oracle Identity Manager. The same practice should be followed to ensure that the database host can create the database schema |
Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0 is certified on the BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 with Service Pack 4 application server.
WebLogic requires a JMS server running in each application server instance (clustered or non-clustered mode), so there is no need for a separate JMS server instance running on a host that is not running any Oracle Identity Manager component.
Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0 for the BEA WebLogic 8.1 application server with Service Pack 4 is supported on the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP1
Solaris 10
Select one database for your Oracle Identity Manager installation. Oracle Identity Manager 9.0 supports the following databases:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7
Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3a
Note: Certain limitations have been identified in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4. For details, check the Microsoft Web site. |

Before installing Oracle Identity Manager, you should read "Hardware and Software Requirements" and "Installation Worksheet" to help plan your installation.
Since the Database Administrator (DBA), System Administrator, and IT Developer typically handle tasks specific to their specific areas of expertise, you should share Oracle Identity Manager installation information among your team members. Table 2-6 indicates the document sections each installation team member should read.

Footnote 1 N/A = Not Applicable for a default. However you must enter a value for this item when you install Oracle Identity Manager.
The Diagnostic Dashboard is a web application that runs in your application server. It checks your pre- and post-installation environments for components required by Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle highly recommends that you install the Diagnostic Dashboard before installing Oracle Identity Manager.
The Diagnostic Dashboard tool is distributed on the Oracle Identity Manager Installer CD media. It is located in the DiagnosticDashboard directory.
You must deploy the Diagnostic Dashboard web application on your application server. For more information, refer to the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console Guide.
