    • Protection Level: Excluded

  7. Click on Apply.

6.2 Starting and Stopping Oracle Identity and Access Management Components After an Automated Deployment

At the end of the Oracle Identity and Access Management automated deployment, all the domains and software are started automatically.

However, if you later need to stop or restart the environment, then it is important that you use the provided start and stop scripts, which stop and start the various components of the deployment in the required order.

For more information, see the following topics:

6.2.1 Starting and Stopping Components Using the Provided Start and Stop Scripts

The following sections provide information about the provided start and stop scripts that you can use to start and stop the Oracle Identity and Access Management software after an automated deployment:

6.2.1.1 Locating the Provided Start and Stop Scripts

After you complete an automated installation of Oracle Identity Manager with the LCM Tools, a set of scripts are installed in the configuration directory. Based on the recommended directory structure, the scripts are installed in the following directory:

IDMTOP/config/scripts/

For more information about the standard directories in an LCM Tools automated installation, see Section 2.5, "About the Deployment Repository and LCM Tools Directory Structure".

Inside the scripts folder, you should find two scripts:

startall.sh
stopall.sh

6.2.1.2 About Password Management When Using the Start and Stop Scripts

The command line for using the provided start and stop scripts has an optional argument for entering the password for the domain administrator account.

However, this argument is not required because, by default, the passwords required to start and stop the Oracle Identity and Access Management components is saved in a secure wallet file. The wallet file is referenced automatically by the start and stop scripts, so there is no need to enter the password on the command line.

The wallet file used by the start and stop scripts (cwallet.sso) is located in the following directory after an automated deployment:

LCM_STORE/lcmconfig/config/credconfig/

For information about changing the value of the password in the wallet file, see Section 6.2.1.6.

6.2.1.3 Starting Components Using the Provided Scripts

To stop all the Oracle Identity and Access Management components after an automated deployment:

  1. Change directory to the scripts directory in the shared configuration directory.

    For example:

    cd IDMTOP/config/scripts
    
  2. Run the script as follows:

    sh startall.sh
    

6.2.1.4 Stopping Components Using the Provided Scripts

To stop all the Oracle Identity and Access Management components after an automated deployment:

  1. Change directory to the scripts directory in the shared configuration directory.

    For example:

    cd IDMTOP/config/scripts
    
  2. Run the script as follows:

    sh stopall.sh
    

6.2.1.5 Optional Arguments When Using the Start and Stop Scripts

In most cases, you don't need to enter any arguments to the start and stop scripts. However, if necessary, Table 6-1 lists the optional arguments can be used when running the scripts.

Table 6-1 Optional Arguments When Using the Start and Stop Scripts

Argument Description Example

domain_name=

Allows you to specify a specific domain. When you use this argument, only components in the specified domain will be started.

sh startall domain=IAMAccessDomain

weblogic_pwd=

Allows you to enter the weblogic administration password on the command line.

Note that Oracle recommends that you do not enter clear passwords on the command line and instead use the wallet file provided by the LCM Tools. For more information, see Section 6.2.1.6.

sh startall weblogic_pwd=mypassword

nodemanager_pwd=

Allows you to enter the Node Manager password on the command line.

Note that Oracle recommends that you do not enter clear passwords on the command line and instead use the wallet file provided by the LCM Tools. For more information, see Section 6.2.1.6.

sh startall nodemanager_pwd=my_nm_password

-help

Displays online help that describes the usage of the script.

sh startall -help


6.2.1.6 Changing the Passwords in the credconfig Wallet

If you change the Oracle WebLogic Server administration password or the Node Manager password after you perform an automated deployment, you can update the passwords stored in the start and stop script wallet:

  1. Change directory to the directory where the wallet resides:

    cd LCM_STORE/lcmconfig/credconfig/
    
  2. Display the list of keys in the wallet and the credentials for each key:

    sh csf-util.sh list
    
  3. Change the password for one of the keys in the wallet:

    sh csf-util.sh add
    

    The script prompts you for the name of the key, the user, and then for the new password.

6.2.2 Starting and Stopping Components Manually

Oracle recommends that you use the scripts provided by the LCM Tools to start and stop the Oracle Identity Manager components after an automated deployment.

However, if there are situations where you cannot run the provided scripts, refer to the following topics before attempting to manually start or stop the Oracle Identity and Access Management components:

6.2.2.1 Understanding the Required Order of Starting and Stopping Components

Before you manually start and stop the Oracle Identity Manager components after an automated deployment, you must understand the order in which components must be started.

When stopping the Oracle Identity and Access Management environment, stop the components in the following order:

  1. Oracle Mobile Security Access Server

  2. Oracle HTTP Server

  3. Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP) Server

  4. Oracle Identity Manager

  5. Oracle SOA Suite

  6. The Oracle Identity Manager Administration Server

  7. Oracle Policy Manager Server

  8. Oracle Mobile Security Manager Server (OMSM)

  9. Oracle Access Manager

  10. The Oracle Access Manager Administration Server

  11. Node Manager

  12. Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) or Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

When starting the components in an Oracle Identity and Access Management environment, stop the components in this order:

  1. Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) or Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

  2. Node Manager

  3. Oracle Access Manager Administration Server

  4. Oracle Access Manager

  5. Oracle Mobile Security Manager Server (OMSM)

  6. Oracle Policy Manager Server

  7. Oracle Identity Manager Administration Server

  8. Oracle SOA Suite

  9. Oracle Identity Manager

  10. Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP) Server

  11. Oracle HTTP Server

  12. Oracle Mobile Security Access Server
