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.
A basic Oracle Identity Manager installation 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)
This chapter contains the following topics:
Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0.2 is intended only for customers performing initial deployments of the Oracle Identity Manager product. Do not install Release 9.0.2 over existing legacy Oracle Identity Manager installations. Contact your Oracle Support representative if you want to upgrade to Release 9.0.2 from previous releases.
The following sections list the supported host computer, application server, and databases required 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: The Oracle Identity Manager installation program may conflict with other installed applications, utilities, or drivers. Try to remove all non-essential software and drivers from the installation machine before loading Oracle Identity Manager. This practice also ensures that the database host can create the database schema. |
|
Important: 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 information in this guide applies generally to all Oracle Identity Manager 9.0.x versions. |
Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0 is certified on the JBoss 4.0.2 application server.
|
Important: Oracle Identity Manager for JBoss requires Java JDK 1.4.2_08 or higher, for example 1.4.2_xx—but not versions 1.5 or higher. |
Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0 for the JBoss 4.0.2 application server is supported on the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP1 and 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition
RedHat Linux AS 4.1
Solaris 10
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 Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3a
The tables in this section list the minimum host system requirements for the various components in an Oracle Identity Manager environment.
Table 2-1 lists the minimum host requirements for Oracle Identity Manager Server. It provides guidelines for a basic deployment. Increase each measurement if more size is needed for your deployment.

If you are deploying Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0.2 components in non-English environments, be sure to review the following guidelines and requirements:
Before installing any of the Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.0.2 components, ensure the regional and language settings (locale) on the target system meet the following requirements:
An appropriate language version of the operating system is installed.
Specific language settings are properly configured.
Refer to the Oracle Identity Manager Globalization Guide for information about configuring localized deployments and to ensure you meet the character restrictions for various components and attributes.
For Oracle database globalization support, you must configure the database for Unicode.
Refer to "Creating an Oracle Database" for more information.
To help plan your installation Oracle Identity Manager, read "Hardware and Software Requirements" and "Installation Worksheet".
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.
Table 2-6 Installation Roles and Documentation
| Installation Role | Sections to Read |
|---|---|
|
Database Administrator |
|
|
System Administrator |
|
|
IT Developer |

Table 2-7, the Installation Worksheet, 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:

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.
|
Note: If you install the Diagnostic Dashboard XIMDD application on JBoss before you install the Oracle Identity Manager server, you may encounter an exception when you start JBoss. To avoid this exception, set theUseJBossWebLoader property in the jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml file to true. |
