    Click Next. The Configure Components screen appears.

  5. Select only Oracle Directory Services Manager. The Fusion Middleware Control management component is automatically selected for this installation.

    Ensure no other components are selected and click Next. The Configure Ports screen appears.

  6. Choose how you want the Installer to configure ports:

    • Select Auto Port Configuration if you want the Installer to configure ports from a predetermined range.

    • Select Specify Ports using Configuration File if you want the Installer to configure ports using the staticports.ini file. You can click View/Edit File to update the settings in the staticports.ini file.

    Click Next.

  7. The Installation Summary screen appears. Verify the information on this screen. Click Configure to begin the configuration.

  8. The Configuration Progress screen appears. Click Next to continue.

  9. The Installation Complete screen appears. Click Save to save the configuration information to a file, and then click Finish to exit the installer.

10.2 Only ODSM in an Existing WebLogic Domain

This topic describes how to configure only Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) in an existing WebLogic administration domain. It includes the following sections:

10.2.1 Appropriate Deployment Environment

10.3 Verifying ODSM

To verify the Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) installation, enter the following URL into your browser's address field:

http://host:port/odsm

  • host represents the name of the WebLogic Managed Server hosting Oracle Directory Services Manager.

  • port represents the WebLogic Managed Server listen port. You can determine the exact port number of the Managed Server through the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console. After logging in to the console, expand Environment on the left navigation pane. Click Servers. The Summary of Servers page is displayed. The port for the Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) Managed Server is displayed on this page.

Oracle Directory Services Manager is installed and running if the Welcome to Oracle Directory Services Manage screen appears.

Note:

While the appearance of the Welcome screen verifies Oracle Directory Services Manager is installed and running, you cannot connect to Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory from Oracle Directory Services Manager without the appropriate credentials.

10.4 Getting Started with ODSM After Installation

After you install Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM), no additional configuration is needed. The next step is to log in to Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory. The process for logging in to both directory servers is the same. Information about logging in to both Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory provided below so you can learn more about Oracle Directory Services Manager in the context of each directory server.
