Configuring SSL-enabled External User Directories

Assumptions

  • The external user directories that you plan to configure in Shared Services Console are SSL-enabled.

  • If you did not use a certificate from a well-known third-party CA to SSL-enable the user directory, you have a copy of the root certificate of the CA that signed the server certificate.

Import root CA certificate

If you did not use a certificate from a well-known third-party CA to SSL-enable the user directory, you must import the root certificate of the CA that signed the server certificate into the following JVMs:

Use a tool such, as keytool, to import the root CA certificate.

  • WebLogic Server:

    • Sun JVM keystore: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/jdk160_11/jre/lib/security/cacerts

    • JRockit JVM keystore: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/jrockit_160_05/jre/lib/security/cacerts

  • The keystore used by the JVM on each EPM System component host machine. By default, EPM System components use the following keystore:

    MIDDLEWARE_HOME/jdk160_11/jre/lib/security/cacerts

Configure External User Directories

You configure user directories using the Shared Services Console. While configuring user directories, you must select the SSL Enabled option that instructs EPM System security to use the secure protocol to communicate with the user directory. You can SSL-enable a connection between EPM System security and LDAP-enabled user directories, for example; Oracle Internet Directory and Microsoft Active Directory, and SAP repository.
