1.1 Overview and Structure of Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Installation

This section discusses the following topics:

1.1.1 Overview

Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) includes two distinct suites comprising the following Oracle Identity Management products:

  • idm.zip comprising Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.2.0 products (Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD), Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM), Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP), and Oracle Identity Federation (OIF)

    Note:

    You must use the idm_patchset.zip to patch your Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.2.0 products to Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0.

    See Chapter 4, "Installing and Configuring OID, OVD, ODSM, ODIP, and OIF" in this guide for installing and configuring these products.

  • iamsuite.zip comprising Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0 products (Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), Oracle Access Manager (OAM), Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM), Oracle Authorization Policy Manager (OAPM), and Oracle Identity Navigator (OIN)

    Note:

    See Chapter 5, "Installing and Configuring OIM, OAM, OAAM, OAPM, and OIN" in this guide for installing and configuring these products.

1.1.2 Structure of the Installation

You can install both of the Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0 products under a common Middleware Home directory. When you install these suites on the same machine, two Oracle Home (also referred to as IDM_Home in this guide) directories are created on the machine. For information about identifying installation directories, see Identifying Installation Directories.

Note that two IDM_Home directories are mentioned in descriptions and procedures throughout this guide. For example, the first one, Oracle_IDM1 can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Directory Services Manager, Oracle Directory Integration Platform, and Oracle Identity Federation. The second one, Oracle_IDM2 can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, and Oracle Identity Navigator.

However, note that Oracle_IDM1 and Oracle_IDM2 are used as examples in this guide. You can specify any name for either of your IDM_Home directories. In addition, you can install the two distinct Oracle Identity Management suites in any order on your machine.

If you choose to use the default names, the first installation creates an Oracle_IDM1 directory, and the second installation creates an Oracle_IDM2 directory.

1.2 Understanding the OID, OVD, ODSM, ODIP, and OIF Installation

The following is an overview of the steps to install Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD), Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM), Oracle Directory Integration Platform (ODIP), and Oracle Identity Federation (OIF):

  1. Review the certification information.

  2. Review the system requirements.

  3. Satisfy all dependencies, such as installing Oracle WebLogic Server and, when required, installing an Oracle Database and creating schema.

  4. Install the Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.2.0 software, but do not configure the products.

  5. Install Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0 software by running the Patch Set Installer to patch your existing Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.2.0 software.

  6. Run the Oracle Identity Management Configuration Wizard from the patched Oracle Identity Management Home directory to configure Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory, Oracle Directory Services Manager, Oracle Directory Integration Platform, or Oracle Identity Federation.

  7. Verify the installation.

1.3 Understanding the OIM, OAM, OAAM, OAPM, and OIN Installation

The following is an overview of the steps to install Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), Oracle Access Manager (OAM), Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM), Oracle Authorization Policy Manager (OAPM), and Oracle Identity Navigator (OIN):

  1. Review the certification information.

  2. Review the system requirements.

  3. Satisfy all dependencies, such as installing Oracle WebLogic Server and, when required, installing an Oracle Database and creating schemas.

  4. Install the Oracle Identity Management 11.1.1.3.0 software containing Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, and Oracle Identity Navigator.

  5. If you are installing Oracle Identity Manager, install the Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0) software and patch it to Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) software by running the Patch Set Installer.

  6. Run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to configure Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, or Oracle Identity Navigator.

  7. If you are configuring Oracle Identity Manager, run the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard only once during the initial setup to configure Oracle Identity Manager Server, Design Console (on Windows only), and Remote Manager. Note that you must run the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard on the machine where the WebLogic Administration Server is running.

  8. Verify the installation.
