A Oracle Identity Federation MBeans

Several MBeans manage the underlying configuration of the Oracle Identity Federation server. The configuration data is stored in three files:

This appendix describes the function of each MBean and the corresponding configuration file elements, and contains these sections:

A.1 Server-wide Configuration (config.xml)

FederationConfig, Config, PropertiesMap, and PropertiesList MBeans manage server wide configuration in config.xml.

A.1.1 FederationConfig

This section describes the FederationConfigMXBean and its corresponding FederationConfig element.

A.1.1.1 FederationConfigMXBean

The FederationConfigMXBean manages the sequence of Config elements and the life cycle of their corresponding ConfigMXBeans. It exposes the following operations:

  • createEmptyConfig: Given a name, creates a new Config element and a corresponding ConfigMXBean. The given name cannot be null or the empty string, and it must be unique across all Config elements in this FederationConfig

  • destroyConfig: Given a name, destroys the Config element with the given name and un-registers its corresponding ConfigMXBean.

  • hasConfig: Given a name, returns true if and only if there exists a Config element in this Federation Config with the given name.

  • retrieveConfig: Given a name, returns the ObjectName with which the ConfigMXBean corresponding to the given Config element is registered in the MBean server.

  • retrieveConfigs: Returns the ObjectNames with which the ConfigMXBeans corresponding to all child Config elements are registered in the MBean server.

A.1.1.2 The FederationConfig Element

FederationConfig is the top element of the config.xml file. It contains a sequence of Config elements.

<fed:FederationConfig xmlns:fed="http://xmlns.oracle.com/fed/schema/oif-11_2.xsd">
        <fed:Config name="serverconfig">
                …
        </fed:Config>
        <fed:Config name="idpglobal">
                …
        </fed:Config>
         … 
</fed:FederationConfig>

A.1.2 Config

This section describes the ConfigMXBean and its corresponding Config element.

A.1.2.1 ConfigMXBean

The ConfigMXBean manages the addition, removal and retrieval of properties, and manages its PropertiesList and PropertiesMap children by managing the life cycle of their corresponding PropertiesListMXBeans and PropertiesMapMXBeans. It exposes the following operations:

  • element name retrieval

  • retrieval, addition, and removal of properties

  • life cycle management of PropertiesListMXBeans

  • life cycle management of PropertiesMapMXBeans

Element Name Retrieval

getName retrieves the name of its corresponding Config element.

Retrieval, Addition, and Removal of Properties

Operations to manage addition, removal, and retrieval of properties are:

  • hasProperty: Given a name, returns true if and only if there exists a Property in this Config with the given name.

  • putProperty: Given a name, a value, and a type, adds a Property to this Config with the specified name, value and type.

    If there already exists a Property with the specified name, sets the value and type of the existing property to the given ones. However, if there already exists a Property with the given name, the given type must match the type of the existing property.

    In either case, the type must be one of: 'string', 'boolean', 'long', and the value must be of the specified type. The name cannot be null or the empty string.

  • removeAllProperties: Removes all Property elements in this Config.

  • removeProperty: Given a name, removes the Property with the given name from this Config.

  • retrievePropertyType: Given a name, returns the type of the Property in this Config with the given name.

  • retrievePropertyValue: Given a name, returns the type of the Property in this Config with the given name.

Manage Life Cycle of PropertiesListMXBeans

Operations for life cycle management of PropertiesListMXBeans include:

  • createPropertiesList: Given a name, creates a new PropertiesList element and a corresponding PropertiesListMXBean. The given name cannot be null or the empty string and it must be unique across all PropertiesList elements in this Config.

  • destroyAllPropertiesLists: Destroys all PropertiesList elements and unregisters their corresponding PropertiesListMXBeans.

  • destroyPropertiesList: Given a name, destroys the PropertiesList element in this Config with the given name, and unregisters its corresponding PropertiesListMXBean.

  • hasPropertiesList: Given a name, returns true if and only if there exists a PropertiesList in this Config with the given name.

  • retrieveAllPropertiesLists: Returns the ObjectNames with which the PropertiesListMXBeans corresponding to all child PropertiesList elements are registered in the MBean server.

  • retrievePropertiesList: Given a name, retrieves the ObjectName with which the PropertiesListMXBean corresponding to the PropertiesList element in this Config with the given name is registered in the MBean server.

Manage Life Cycle of PropertiesMapMXBeans

Operations for life cycle management of PropertiesMapMXBeans are equivalent to those that manage the life cycle of child PropertiesListMXBeans.

A.1.2.2 The Config Element

Config elements have a name attribute and Property, PropertiesList, and PropertiesMap elements as children:

A.5 Programmatic Access to Oracle Identity Federation MBeans

This section explains how you can remotely access the MBean server and perform operations on the MBeans.

A.5.1 Access the MBean Server

You must define certain variables when accessing the MBean server remotely:

  • HOSTNAME: the hostname of the machine where Oracle Identity Federation is deployed

  • PORT: Oracle Identity Federation listening port

  • USERNAME and PASSWORD: the username and password of an administrator

The following code demonstrates how to access the MBean Server remotely. To run this code, you must have the following libraries in your classpath:

  • WL_HOME/server/lib/weblogic.jar

  • WL_HOME/server/lib/wljmxclient.jar

  • WL_HOME/server/lib/wlclient.jar

MBeanServerConnection mbs = null;
try{
JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL ("t3", HOSTNAME, Integer.parseInt(PORT), "/jndi/weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime");
 
HashMap<String, Object> env = new HashMap<String,Object>();
env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, USERNAME);
env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, PASSWORD);
env.put(javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.PROTOCOL_PROVIDER_PACKAGES, "weblogic.management.remote");
JMXConnector connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, env);
mbs = connector.getMBeanServerConnection();
} catch(Exception e){ //should log exception throw new RuntimeException(e.toString(), e);
}

A.5.2 Access Oracle Identity Federation MBeans

The 'top' Oracle Identity Federation Configuration MBeans are registered with the 'global/translated' versions of the ObjectNames shown in Table A-1 (ObjectNames are translated to avoid name collisions):

Table A-1 ObjectNames for Oracle Identity Federation Configuration MBeans

Configuration MBean ObjectName

FederationConfig

com.oracle.security.fed:type=OIFConfigMBean,name=ServerConfig

CircleOfTrust

com.oracle.security.fed:type=OIFConfigMBean,name=CircleOfTrust

Datastore

com.oracle.security.fed:type=OIFConfigMBean,name=Datastore


You use queries to find the global/translated ObjectName of an MBean. Here is an example of a query to find the ObjectName of the FederationConfigMXBean:

String fedObjNameQueryString = "com.oracle.security.fed:name=ServerConfig,type=OIFConfigMBean,*";
Set s = mbs.queryNames(new ObjectName(fedObjNameQueryString), null);
ObjectName FED_CONFIG_OBJ_NAME = null;
if(s != null && !s.isEmpty())
    FED_CONFIG_OBJ_NAME = (ObjectName)s.iterator().next();
else{
    //should log exception
    throw new RuntimeException("Cannot find FedConfigMBean");
}

You can operate on these MBeans directly by using the MBeanServerConnection invoke method.

Here is an example invoking the 'retrieveConfig' operation in the FederationConfigMXBean:

try
{
ObjectName configObjName =  (ObjectName)mbs.invoke(FED_CONFIG_OBJ_NAME, "retrieveConfig", new Object[]{configName}, new String[]{String.class.getName()});
} catch(Exception e){
    //should log exception
    throw new RuntimeException(e.toString(), e);
}

After obtaining the ObjectName of the ConfigMXBean, you can perform operations in a similar manner. For example, to add a new property:

try
{
String previousValue = (String)mbs.invoke(configObjName, "putProperty", new Object[]{propertyName, propertyValue, propertyType}, new String[]{String.class.getName(), String.class.getName(), String.class.getName()});
} catch(Exception e){
    //should log exception
    throw new RuntimeException(e.toString(), e);
}
