If the specified port is SSL-enabled, click the Select if this is an SSL port option.
Note:
If you are using an LDAP server other than Oracle Internet Directory, you must specify a non-SSL port. You can configure SSL postinstallation. See Oracle Content Database for Oracle WebCenter Suite Administrator's Guide for more information.
If you are using Oracle Internet Directory, and you want to specify an SSL port, you must set up Oracle Internet Directory for SSL in advance. SSL is recommended in production environments.
In the User DN field, enter the directory superuser name, or the distinguished name (DN) of another user with administrative privileges.
In the Password field, enter the password for the user DN.
If you selected Oracle Internet Directory in the Directory Type field, the remainder of this screen is not applicable. Click Next to continue with the installation. If you selected any of the other directory types, you must fill out the remaining fields on this screen:
In the User Search Base field, enter a user search base of the LDAP server. For example:
"cn=users,dc=us,dc=abc,dc=com"
Only the users in the search base you enter will have access to Oracle Content DB.
In the LDAP User Name Attribute field, enter the LDAP user name attribute. For example:
cn
uid
Oracle Content DB user names will correspond to the LDAP user name attribute you specify. For example, if you choose mail, Oracle Content DB users will use their e-mail addresses to log in to Oracle Content DB.
In the LDAP User Object Class field, enter a list of LDAP schema object classes used to represent a user. Use spaces to separate multiple object classes.
In the Site Administrator User field, specify the Oracle Content DB site administrator user. The site administrator has all Oracle Content DB application administration roles. Depending upon what kind of user repository you are using, the site administrator user can be different.
If you are using a file-based user repository, the site administrator user is contentadmin. The password for this user is the same as the Oracle Content DB schema password.
If you are using Oracle Internet Directory, the site administrator user is orcladmin.
If you are using a third-party LDAP user repository, specify (at install time) a user that already exists in the third-party user repository. This user will be granted all the roles and can then be used as the site administrator user.
You cannot specify a DN in the Site Administrator User field. You must specify a user name that corresponds to the LDAP user name attribute you chose. For example, if you chose mail as the LDAP user name attribute, enter the e-mail address of the user.
Note:
If this is a subsequent Oracle Content DB middle tier installation, and you are using a file-based user repository, the Specify User Repository screen does not appear.If this is a subsequent Oracle Content DB middle tier installation, and you are using either Oracle Internet Directory or a third-party LDAP server, enter only the user DN and password for the LDAP server on this screen.

When you select a tool, its details are shown in the Details box. Details are displayed as the tool is running. If you want to stop a configuration assistant while it is running, click Stop.
Note:
Do not stop the Oracle Content DB Configuration Assistant. If you stop the Oracle Content DB Configuration Assistant, the installation will fail.If the Oracle Content DB Configuration Assistant is stopped or fails, follow the steps in Section D.3, "Additional Deinstallation Tasks for Oracle Content DB" before attempting to install again. Do not click Retry.
You can find the Oracle Content DB Configuration Assistant log in the following location:
ORACLE_HOME/content/log/ContentConfig.log
If all tools succeed on the first try, OUI automatically proceeds to the next page. Otherwise, OUI remains on the Configuration Assistants page until all tools are successful. You can then click Next to proceed.
If one or more tools fail, OUI does not proceed to the next page. Instead, you can read the details of failed tools, fix the problems, and try running the configuration assistant again. You should also consult the installation document for the product being installed for instructions on what to do if a tool fails. For all failed or skipped tools, OUI generates a list of the tool names and the commands used to run them; you can copy/paste this information directly into a shell script or batch file to run these tools after installation is complete.
By default, the check box in the Retry column will be checked for all tools that failed or were skipped. To retry all checked configuration assistants, click Retry.
To continue without fixing the problem, click Next.
Note:
The installation is considered successful even if all configuration assistants failed, irrespective of their type (Recommended or Optional). However, failing to successfully run all recommended tools results in an improperly configured product that may not function.This screen tells you whether or not your Oracle Application Server installation was successful and displays some important information that you must remember about the products you have installed.
