When you install Oracle Identity Federation (OIF), Oracle HTTP Server also gets installed. Oracle HTTP Server is required when using Oracle Identity Federation for enterprise level single sign-on with Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Access Manager. Although Oracle Identity Federation can function without Oracle HTTP Server, there are advantages to configuring it as a proxy for Oracle Identity Federation.
To configure the Oracle HTTP Server so that the Oracle Identity Federation application can be accessed through Oracle HTTP Server ports, you can:
Ensure that Oracle Identity Federation is installed, as described in Installation Roadmap and Installing the Latest Version of Oracle Identity Management.
Run <Oracle_Home>/bin/config.sh (On UNIX) or <Oracle_Home>\bin\config.bat to start the Oracle Identity Management Configuration Wizard. Click Next to continue.
On the Configure Components screen, select Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Identity Federation.
See:
The "Deploying Oracle Identity Federation with Oracle HTTP Server" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Federation for more information about integrating Oracle Identity Federation and Oracle HTTP Server.
