Oracle recommends that you familiarize yourself with the components required for deployment before installing Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle also recommends that you install and use the Diagnostic Dashboard to ensure that your system is ready for Oracle Identity Manager installation. Refer to the "Using the Diagnostic Dashboard" section for details of installing the Diagnostic Dashboard.
A basic Oracle Identity Manager installation consists of the following:
Database server
Application server
Oracle Identity Manager running on the application server
Design Console
Administrative and User Console running on a Web-browser
This chapter contains the following topics:
This section lists the minimum host system requirements for the various components in an Oracle Identity Manager environment.
Note:
Check the Oracle Identity Manager Release Notes for the requirements and supported configurations specific to each version of the Oracle Identity Manager product.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.
The Oracle Identity Manager installation program might conflict with other installed applications, utilities, or drivers. Try to remove all nonessential software and drivers from the computer before installing Oracle Identity Manager. This practice also ensures that the database schema can be created in the database host.
Table 2-1 lists the minimum host requirements for Oracle Identity Manager and the guidelines for a basic installation.

If you are deploying Oracle Identity Manager components in non-English environments, then review the following guidelines and requirements:
Before installing any of the Oracle Identity Manager components, ensure that 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 Oracle Identity Manager Globalization Guide for information about configuring localized deployments and to ensure that 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.
Table 2-5 provides information about the configuration attributes that you must set during Oracle Identity Manager installation. Print this worksheet and use it to take notes during the installation. Enter information specific to your installation in the User Selection column.

The Diagnostic Dashboard is a Web application that runs on the application server. It checks the preinstallation and postinstallation environments for components required by Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle recommends that you install the Diagnostic Dashboard before installing Oracle Identity Manager.
The Diagnostic Dashboard files are located in the DiagnosticDashboard directory
on the Oracle Identity Manager Installer CD media.
You must deploy the Diagnostic Dashboard Web application on the application server.
See Also:

A supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
A supported database
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC libraries (only if you use Microsoft SQL Server)
Note:
Microsoft SQL Server is not supported in Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0. See ÒCertified ComponentsÓ in Oracle Identity Manager Release Notes for information about certified components.See Also:
