Reconfiguring External Providers (Maintenance Release Only)

After you have applied the maintenance to move from Financial Close Management Release 11.1.2.0 to Release 11.1.2.1, if you are using an external provider, perform the following tasks to reconfigure the SOA Server to communicate with an external provider, such as OID, MSAD, or SunOne.

  To reconfigure an external provider:

  1. Shut down all servers (SOA Server, WebLogic Administration Server).

  2. Navigate to domain/config/fmwconfig and open jps-config.xml in a text editor.

  3. Remove the <serviceInstance> entry that was added during Release 11.1.2.1 installation, with the name idstore.AD (for MSAD), idstore.OID (for OID), or idstore.IPLANET (for SunOne).

  4. In the <default> context, remove the line that includes the service instance reference you just deleted. For example, in the following entry for MSAD, remove <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.AD" />. 

    <jpsContext name="default">
<serviceInstanceRef ref="credstore" />
<serviceInstanceRef ref="keystore" />
<serviceInstanceRef ref="policystore.xml" />
<serviceInstanceRef ref="audit" />
<serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.AD" />
</jpsContext>

    Make sure the entry idstore.ldap exists in the default context.

  5. Start WebLogic Administration Server, and log in to the WebLogic Administration Console.

  6. Click Security Realms on the left, click myrealm, and then click the Providers tab.

  7. Delete the external provider (MSAD, OID, or SunOne).

  8. Restart WebLogic Administration Server, and log in to the WebLogic Administration Console.

  9. Click Security Realms on the left, click myrealm, and then click the Providers tab.

  10. Click Add, and re-add the external provider.

    For details about adding an external provider, see Connecting Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD), or SunOne to the SOA Server.

  11. Restart Start WebLogic Administration Server.
