6.3 OID and OVD with ODSM in a New WebLogic Domain

This topic describes how to configure Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) with Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) in a new WebLogic administration domain. It includes the following sections:

6.3.1 Appropriate Deployment Environment

The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have the following conditions:

  • A new WebLogic Administration Server is necessary to manage Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory components.

  • You want to install Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory together in the same WebLogic domain, which can be extended at a later time to add new Oracle Identity Management components.

6.3.2 Components Deployed

Performing the configuration in this section deploys the following:

  • WebLogic Administration Server

  • Oracle Internet Directory

  • Oracle Virtual Directory

  • WebLogic Managed Server

  • Oracle Directory Services Manager

  • Fusion Middleware Control

6.3.3 Dependencies

The configuration in this section depends on the following:

  • Oracle WebLogic Server

  • Oracle Database

  • If you want to use an existing schema, Identity Management - Oracle Internet Directory schema existing in the Oracle Database.

6.3.4 Procedure

Perform the following steps to configure Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory in a new domain:

  1. Ensure that Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory are installed, as described in Installation Roadmap and Installing OID, OVD, ODSM, ODIP, and OIF (11.1.1.4.0).

  2. 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.

    • Enter the user password again in the Confirm Password field.

    • Enter a name for the new domain in the Domain Name field.

    Click Next. The Specify Installation Location screen appears.

  4. Identify the Homes, Instances, and the WebLogic Server directory by referring to Identifying Installation Directories.

    After you enter information for each field, click Next. The Specify Security Updates screen appears.

  5. Choose how you want to be notified about security issues:

    • If you want to be notified about security issues through email, enter your email address in the Email field.

For Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), the connection string must be in the form of hostname1:port1:instance1^hostname2:port2:instance2@servicename.

    3. Enter the password for the existing ODS schema in the Password field.

    4. Click Next.

      Note:

      If your existing ODS and ODSSM schemas have different passwords, the Specify ODSSM Password screen will appear after you click Next. Enter the password for your existing ODSSM schema and click Next.

    5. Continue the installation by going to step 9 now.

    To create a new schema 

    1. Select Create Schema.

    2. Enter the database connection information in the Connect String field. The connection string must be in the form of hostname:port:servicename.
