This chapter explains how to install Oracle Identity Manager on Microsoft Windows in a nonclustered installation.
See Also:
Chapter 9, "Deploying in a Clustered Oracle Application Server Configuration" for information about deploying Oracle Identity Manager in a clustered installationYou must install Oracle Identity Manager on systems running the application server. Oracle Identity Manager components such as the Remote Manager and Design Console can be installed on separate systems. Each component has its own installer.
This chapter contains the following topics:
Caution:
Do not use a remote client tool, such as Symantec pcAnywhere, to install Oracle Identity Manager products.As part of the installation, the Oracle Identity Manager Installer loads a schema into your database. You only install the database schema once. 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 log file is created in theOIM_HOME
\logs
directory.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.
This section describes how to install Oracle Identity Manager on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
Caution:
Do not install Oracle Identity Manager on top of an existing Oracle Identity Manager installation. For each new installation, use a different home directory. If you want to reuse the name of an existing Oracle Identity Manager home directory, then backup your original Oracle Identity Manager home by renaming that directory.Remember at all times that all Oracle Identity Manager components must be installed in different home directories. For example, you cannot install the Remote Manager in the same directory as Oracle Identity Manager.To install Oracle Identity Manager on a Microsoft Windows host:
Note:
Create a backup of the Oracle Application Server configuration before installing Oracle Identity Manager. For more information, see "Creating a Backup of the Oracle Application Server Configuration".Insert the Oracle Identity Manager Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Using Windows Explorer, access the installServer directory on the installation CD and double-click the setup_server.exe file.
Select a language on the Installer page and click OK. The Welcome page is displayed.
Click Next on the Welcome page. The Admin User Information page is displayed.
Enter the password that you want to use as the Oracle Identity Manager administrator, confirm the password by entering it again, and then click Next. The OIM Application Options page is displayed.
Select one of the following applications to install, and then click Next:
Oracle Identity Manager
Oracle Identity Manager with Audit and Compliance Module
See Also:
Oracle Identity Manager Audit Report Developer's Guide for information about the Audit and Compliance ModuleThe Target directory page is displayed.
Complete one of the following:
Install Oracle Identity Manager in the default directory, which is C:\oracle\, click Next.
Install Oracle Identity Manager in another directory, enter the path in the Directory field, then click Next.
or
Click Browse, navigate to the desired location, then click Next.
Note:
If the directory path does not exist, then the Base Directory settings field is displayed. Click OK. This directory is automatically created. If you do not have write permission to create the default directory, then a message is displayed informing you that the installer could not create the directory. Click OK to close the message, then contact your system administrator to obtain the appropriate permissions.On the Database Server Selection page, specify Oracle as the database that you are using with Oracle Identity Manager and click Next.
Note:
Only Oracle database is supported for Oracle Identity manager installation on Oracle Application Server.On the Database Information page, provide all database connectivity information required to install the database schema. You install this schema just once, as part of your initial Oracle Identity Manager installation. Thereafter, you configure all the other Oracle Identity Manager components to point to this common schema.
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 for information about the certified configurations.When Oracle Identity Manager is installed against an existing database, a warning message is displayed indicating 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.
You should create the \config directory in the new OIM_HOME
\xellerate\
path if it does not already exist.
Enter the following database information:
In the host field, enter the host name or the IP address of the computer on which the database resides.
In the PORT field, enter the port number on which the database listens for connections. The default port is 1521 for Oracle Database.
In Database SID field, enter the name of the database instance.
In the User Name field, enter the user name of the database account that you created for Oracle Identity Manager.
In the Password field, enter the Oracle Identity Manager database user password.
Click Next to commit these settings.
Note:
When you set the preceding items, see the configuration settings specified in "Using an Oracle Database for Oracle Identity Manager" to verify your settings.The installer checks for database connectivity and if a database schema exists. If the check passes, the installer proceeds to the next step in the process. If the check fails, an error message is displayed.
Select the appropriate database options:
If a database exists, and the connectivity is good, proceed to Step 10.
If no connectivity is detected, you are prompted to enter new information or to fix the connection. Click Next after entering new information or fixing the connection.
