16.7 Before Configuring OIM Server, Design Console, or Remote Manager

Before configuring Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) using the Oracle Identity Manager Wizard, ensure that you have completed the prerequisites for configuring Oracle Identity Manager components (Server, Design Console, and Remote Manager).

The Oracle Identity Manager 11g Configuration Wizard prompts you to enter information about certain configurations, such as Database, Schemas, WebLogic Administrator User Name and Password, and LDAP Server. Therefore, keep this information ready with you before starting the Identity Management 11g Configuration Wizard.

This section discusses the following topics:

• Prerequisites for Configuring OIM Server

• Prerequisites for Configuring Only OIM Design Console on a Different Machine

• Prerequisites for Configuring Only OIM Remote Manager on a Different Machine

16.7.1 Prerequisites for Configuring OIM Server

Before you can configure Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Server using the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard, you must complete the following prerequisites:

1. Installing Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 and created a Middleware Home directory. For more information, see Installing Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 and Creating the Oracle Middleware Home.

2. Installing a supported version of Oracle database. For more information, see Installing Oracle Database.

3. Creating and loading the required schemas (OIM and MDS) in the database. For more information, see Creating Database Schema Using the Repository Creation Utility (RCU).

4. Installing Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1(11.1.1.3.0) under the same Middleware Home directory. For more information, see Installing the Latest Version of Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle Identity Manager Users Only).

5. Installing the Oracle Identity Management Suite (the suite that contains Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, and Oracle Identity Navigator) under the Middleware Home directory. For more information, see Installing the Oracle Identity Management 11g Software.

6. Configuring Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle SOA Suite in the same WebLogic administration domain (a new or existing domain). For more information, see the following example scenarios:

   • OIM Without LDAP Sync in a New Domain

   • OIM with LDAP Sync

   • OIM and OIN in a New WebLogic Domain

   • OIM and OAM in a WebLogic Domain Containing OIN

   • OIM and OIN in a WebLogic Domain Containing OAM

   • OIM, OAM, and OIN in a New WebLogic Domain

7. Starting the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server for the domain in which the Oracle Identity Manager application is deployed. For more information, see Starting the Stack.

8. Optional: Installing Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager, if you want to set up integration between Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle Access Manager. For more information, see Migrating from Domain Agent to Oracle HTTP Server 10g Webgate for OAM.

9. Optional: Setting up LDAP Synchronization for Oracle Identity Manager, if you want to enable LDAP Sync. For more information, see Setting Up LDAP Synchronization.

10. Optional: Installing Oracle BI Publisher, if you want to configure Oracle BI Publisher for reporting features in Oracle Identity Manager. For more information, see the guide Oracle Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence.

16.7.2 Prerequisites for Configuring Only OIM Design Console on a Different Machine

On the machine where you are installing and configuring Design Console, you must install the Oracle Identity Management 11g (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. For information, see Installing the Oracle Identity Management 11g Software.

Before you can configure Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Design Console by running the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard, you should have configured the Oracle Identity Manager Server, as described in Configuring OIM Server on a local or remote machine. In addition, the Oracle Identity Manager Server should be up and running.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager Design Console is supported on Windows operating systems only. If you are installing and configuring only Design Console on a machine, you do not need to install Oracle WebLogic Server and create a Middleware Home directory before installing the Oracle Identity Management software.

16.7.3 Prerequisites for Configuring Only OIM Remote Manager on a Different Machine

On the machine where you are installing and configuring Remote Manager, you must install the Oracle Identity Management 11g (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. For information, see Installing the Oracle Identity Management 11g Software.

Before you can configure Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Remote Manager by running the Oracle Identity Manager Configuration Wizard, you should have configured the Oracle Identity Manager Server, as described in Configuring OIM Server. In addition, the Oracle Identity Manager Server should be up and running.

Note:

If you are installing and configuring only Remote Manager on a machine, you do not need to install Oracle WebLogic Server and create a Middleware Home directory before installing the Oracle Identity Management software.
