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.
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)
This chapter discusses 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 database requirements for installing Oracle Identity Manager and its components:
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. |
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 installing 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 and 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition
RedHat Linux AS 4.1 and 4.2
Solaris 10
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
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 and are 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.
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 |
---|---|
|
|
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:
Table 2-8 Installation Worksheet
*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 supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
A supported Database
A supported version of the WebSphere application server
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Libraries Test
For WebSphere clusters only, an embedded JMS server
Note: The Diagnostic Dashboard fails to return the JMS server status for WebSphere application servers on Windows systems that contain a space in the installation path. |
