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 JMS server (WebSphere-based clustered installations only)
A Design Console
An Administrative and User Console (running in a web-browser)
|
Note: 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 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 IBM WebSphere 5.1.1.5 application server.
In a clustered deployment, WebSphere requires a JMS server instance on a machine that is not running any Oracle Identity Manager component. Normally, only one JMS server can exist on a cluster. However, if you desire a back-up JMS server, use a hot/cold disk mirror setup so that the embedded JMS instance can utilize its failover mechanism.
Oracle Identity Manager is supported on the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP1
RedHat Linux AS 4.1 or 4.2
Solaris 9
AIX 5L 5.3
Select one database for your Oracle Identity Manager installation. Oracle Identity Manager supports the following databases:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7
Oracle 10g Release 2 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. |
The tables in this section list the host system requirements for the various components in an Oracle Identity Manager environment.

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 2-7 indicates the document sections each installation team member should read.
Table 2-7 Installation Roles and Documentation
| Installation Role | Sections to Read |
|---|---|
|
Database Administrator |
|
|
System Administrator |
|
|
IT Developer |
|
The Installation Worksheet table enables you to identify configuration attributes you need before starting the Oracle Identity Manager installation. Print this worksheet and use it to take notes as you go through your installation. Use the User Selection column to fill-in information specific to your installation:

*NA = 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 Diagnostic Dashboard 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.
The Diagnostic Dashboard verifies the presence of the following components required to install Oracle Identity Manager:
A supported Application Server
A Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
A supported Database
Database Encryption Key Generation
For WebSphere clusters only, an embedded JMS server
