12.1 Differences in Managing Oracle Identity Navigator on IBM WebSphere

This section describes the differences when managing Oracle Identity Navigator on IBM WebSphere.

• Configuring a Proxy to Access News Feeds

• Configuring Single Sign-On

12.1.1 Configuring a Proxy to Access News Feeds

You may need to specify a proxy so that Oracle Identity Navigator can access Oracle news feeds from inside your firewall. The Identity Management Discussion Forums uses SSL.

To configure the properties:

1. In the WebSphere administration console, navigate to Servers > Server Types > Application servers > OracleAdminServer > Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom properties.

2. Add the following:

   -http.proxyHost=proxy_server_host
   -http.proxyPort=proxy_server_port
   -http.nonProxyHosts=non_proxy_hosts
   -https.proxyHost=ssl_proxy_server_host
   -https.proxyPort=ssl_proxy_server_port
   

Next, import the forum certificate in to the Cell's trust store.

To import the forum certificate:

1. Using Internet Explorer or Chrome browser, export the certificate at https://forums.oracle.com/forums/rss/rssthreads.jspa?forumID=47.

2. Log into the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console.

3. Navigate to Security > SSL certificate and key management > Key stores and certificates > CellDefaultTrustStore > Signer certificates > Add.

4. Set Alias to forums.oracle.com_cert.

5. Set File name to the exported certificate obtained in Step 1. It should point to a file on the local file system on which IBM WebSphere is running.

6. Set Data type to same file format as certificate.

   • Base64 encoded certificate: select Base64-encoded ASCII data.

   • DER encoded binary format certificate: select Binary DER data

You do not need to restart the server.
