7 Installing Oracle Identity Manager on UNIX

This chapter describes how to install Oracle Identity Manager on a computer running UNIX in a nonclustered installation.

See Also:

You must install Oracle Identity Manager on systems running the application server. Oracle Identity Manager components such as the Remote Manager can be installed on separate systems. Each component has its own installer.

This chapter contains the following topics:

7.1 Installation Prerequisites and Notes

The following is a list of prerequisites and notes for installing Oracle Identity Manager on UNIX:

7.2 Installing the Database Schema

As part of the installation, the Oracle Identity Manager Installer loads a schema into the database. It is installed the first time you run the Oracle Identity Manager Installer. Each subsequent time you run the installer to deploy other Oracle Identity Manager components, you enter information about the database connection to configure the component for the same schema. If required, contact your database administrator (DBA).

Note:

During the schema installation, a corresponding log file is created under the OIM_HOME/logs/ directory named dbInstall.log.

7.3 Installing Documentation

The Oracle Identity Manager documentation is installed automatically in the OIM_HOME directory. No special input is required. A full documentation set is installed with each Oracle Identity Manager component.

7.4 Installing Oracle Identity Manager on UNIX

Oracle Identity Manager for UNIX is installed through a console mode installer, which supports the following input methods:

The installer contains logical sections or panels. You can perform the following actions in the panels:

To install Oracle Identity Manager on UNIX:

  1. Insert the Oracle Identity Manager Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.

  2. From the console, change directory (cd) to the installServer directory on the installation CD and run the install_server.sh file by using the following command:

    sh install_server.sh
    

    The installer starts in console mode.

    Note:

    If you are not installing Oracle Identity Manager from the distribution media (CD), then you must set the execute bit of all shell scripts in the installServer directory. To set the execute bit for all shell scripts recursively, cd to the installServer directory and run the following command:

    find . -name "*.sh" -exec chmod u+x {} \;

  3. Specify a language by entering a number from the list of languages.

    Enter 0 to apply the language selection. The Welcome Message panel is displayed.

  4. Enter 1 on the Welcome Message panel to display the next panel.

    The Admin User Information panel is displayed.

  5. Enter the password that you want to use for the Oracle Identity Manager Administrator, confirm the password by entering it again, and then enter 1 to move to the next panel.

    The OIM Application Options panel is displayed.

  6. Enter 1 on the OIM Application Options panel to display the next panel.

    The Select the Oracle Identity Manager application to install panel is displayed.

  7. Select the application to install:

    • Enter 1 for Oracle Identity Manager.

    • Enter 2 for the Oracle Identity Manager with Audit and Compliance Module.

    Enter 0 when you are ready to the next panel. The Target directory panel is displayed.

  8. On the Target directory panel, perform one of the following steps:

    • Enter the path to the directory in which you want to install Oracle Identity Manager. For example, enter /opt/oracle/.

    • Enter 1 to move to the next panel.

    If the directory does not exist, then you are prompted to create it. Enter y to create the directory.

    Note:

    For some non-English installations, regardless of the prompt, only y works.

    The Database Server Selection panel is displayed.

    Note:

    To install against an existing database, verify that the version of Oracle Identity Manager you are installing is certified with your existing database version. See Oracle Identity Manager Readme to confirm the certified configurations.

    When Oracle Identity Manager is installed against an existing database, a warning message is displayed indicating that the database schema already exists and instructing you to copy the .xldatabasekey file from the existing Oracle Identity Manager installation to the new OIM_HOME/xellerate/config directory after you complete the installation process.

    Create the new OIM_HOME/xellerate/config directory if it does not already exist.

  9. On the Database Server Selection panel, specify the type of database that you are using:

    • Enter 1 to select Oracle Database.

    • Enter 2 to select Microsoft SQL Server.

    • Enter 0 after you select a database.

    • Enter 1 to move to the next panel.

  10. Enter the database information:

    • Enter the database host name or IP address.

    • Enter the port number, or accept the default.

    • Enter the SID for the database name.

    • Enter the database user name for the account that Oracle Identity Manager uses to connect to the database.

    • Enter the password for the database account that Oracle Identity Manager uses to connect to the database.

    • Enter 1 to move to the next panel.

    The Authentication Information panel is displayed.

  11. Select the authentication mode for the Oracle Identity Manager Web application.

    • Enter 1 for Oracle Identity Manager Default Authentication.

    • Enter 2 for SSO Authentication.

    • Enter 0 when you are ready to move to the next panel.

    If you select SSO authentication, then you must provide the header variable used in the Single Sign-On system when prompted.

    Enter 1 to move to the next panel.

    The Application Server Selection panel is displayed.

  12. Specify your application server type.

    • Enter 3 for JBoss Application Server.

    • Enter 0 when you are ready to move to the next panel.

    • Enter 1 to move to the next panel.

    The Cluster Information panel is displayed.

  13. Provide the following information regarding deploying in a cluster:

    • Enter 2 for No (nonclustered).

    • Enter 0 when you are ready to move to the next panel.

    • Enter 1 to move to the next section.

    The Application Server Information panel is displayed.

    Important:

    If you are deploying in a clustered installation, select Yes and see Chapter 5, "Installing and Configuring JBoss Application Server in Clustered Mode" for more information.
