To install Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) Components, use ofm_iam_generic_11.1.1.5.0_disk1_1of1.zip comprising the following Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.1.5.0 products:

  • Oracle Access Manager (OAM)

  • Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (OAAM)

  • Oracle Identity Manager (OIM)

  • Oracle Entitlements Server (OES)

  • Oracle Identity Navigator (OIN)

Note:

See Chapter 5, "Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.1.5.0)" in this guide for installing and configuring these products.

1.1.2 Structure of the Installation

If you install Oracle Identity Management suite and Oracle Identity and Access Management on the same machine, two Oracle Home (also referred to as IDM_Home and IAM_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, IDM_Home 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, IAM_Home can be the IDM_Home directory for Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Oracle Entitlements Server, and Oracle Identity Navigator.

However, note that IDM_Home and IAM_Home 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.
