You must complete all relevant postinstallation steps before starting Oracle Identity Manager. Refer to the "Postinstallation Configuration for Oracle Identity Manager and IBM WebSphere Application Server" section for more information.After you start any Oracle Identity Manager component for the first time, or after you change any passwords in the xlconfig.xml file, Oracle Identity Manager encrypts and saves the passwords. Oracle Identity Manager also creates a backup copy of the xlconfig.xml file before saving changes to the file. These backup files contain old passwords in plaintext. The backup file are named xlconfig.xml.x, where x is the latest available number, for example xlconfig.xml.0, xlconfig.xml.1, and so on.
Note:
You must remove these backup files after starting any Oracle Identity Manager component for the first time, or on restarting after changing any passwords in xlconfig.xml once you have established that the new password is working properly.This section describes how to start Oracle Identity Manager on Microsoft Windows, UNIX, or Linux.
