Note:
You must complete all relevant post-installation steps described in Chapter 7, "Post-Installation Configuration for Oracle Identity Manager and WebLogic" before starting Oracle Identity Manager.After starting any Oracle Identity Manager component either the first time, or after changing any passwords in xlconfig.xml, passwords are encrypted and saved. However, Oracle Identity Manager also keeps a backup copy of xlconfig.xml (named xlconfig.xml.<x>, where x is the latest available number, for example xlconfig.xml.0, xlconfig.xml.1, and so on) before saving. This backup xlconfig.xml.<x> file contains the passwords in plain text.
Important:
Be sure to remove these files after starting any Oracle Identity Manager component for the first time, or after restarting after changing passwords in xlconfig.xml once you have established that the new password is working properly.This section describes how to start the Oracle Identity Manager server on Windows and UNIX or Linux.
To start the Oracle Identity Manager server:
Verify that your database is up and running.
Start the Oracle Identity Manager server by running one of the following scripts appropriate for your deployment. Running the Oracle Identity Manager server start script also starts the WebLogic application server.
Windows
To start an administrative server on Windows, run the <XL_HOME>\xellerate\bin\xlStartServer.bat script.
UNIX or Linux
To start an administrative server on UNIX or Linux, run the <XL_HOME>/xellerate/bin/xlStartServer.sh script.
This section describes how to stop the Oracle Identity Manager server on Windows and UNIX or Linux. To stop an administrative server or managed server:
Log in to the WebLogic Admin Server Console by pointing a web browser to the following url:
http://<
hostname
>:7001/console
Expand the Servers option in the left navigation.
Right-click on the server name you want to stop and select the Start/Stop Server option from the list.
In the main window, select the Graceful shutdown of this server option to stop the server.
Verify the server stopped in the Status section at the bottom of the main window.
After starting the WebLogic application server and Oracle Identity Manager you can access the Administrative and User Console.
To access the Administrative and User Console:
Launch your web browser, then point it to the following URL:
http://<
hostname
>:<
port
>/xlWebApp
Where <hostname> represents the name of the machine hosting the application server and <port> refers to the port on which the server is listening. The default port number for WebLogic is 7001.
Note:
The application name, xlWebApp, is case-sensitive.For example:
http://localhost:7001/xlWebApp
After the Oracle Identity Manager login screen appears, log in with your user name and password.
The Diagnostic Dashboard verifies each component in your post-installation environment by testing for:
A trusted store
Single sign-on configuration
Messaging capability
A task scheduler
A Remote Manager
The Diagnostic Dashboard also checks for all supported versions of components along with their packaging.
