  4. Enter the user name and password provided in the welcome email, and click Sign In. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console is shown.

Prerequisites

You'll need to complete the following prerequisites before provisioning the WebCenter Portal stack.

After completing the above prerequisites, you can proceed to provision the WebCenter Portal stack.

Note: WebCenter Content is installed when you provision the WebCenter Portal stack.

System Requirements

You require access to the following services to use Oracle WebCenter Portal on OCI.

Make sure you have the following minimum limits for the services in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy, and if necessary, request for an increase of a service limit.

Service Minimum Limit
Identity and Access Management (IAM) Policy 3
Compute Shape VM.Standard.E4.Flex or VM.Standard.E5.Flex 4
Virtual Cloud Network 1
Block Storage 1 TB
Block Volume 200 GB
Vault & Key 1
Secrets 5
Load Balancer Flexible Load Balancer

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vault (formerly known as Key Management), a standard vault is hosted on a hardware security module (HSM) partition with multiple tenants, and it uses a more cost-efficient, key-based metric for billing purposes. A virtual private vault provides greater isolation and performance by allocating a dedicated partition on HSM. Each type of vault has a separate service limit in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy. The limit for secrets spans all the vaults.

See Service Limits in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

  9. Make sure to create the necessary gateways such as Internet gateway, NAT gateway, and Service gateway.

  10. Click Create. The VCN is created.

Create a New Database

Follow the below OCI documentation links for creating OCI Database resources based on the preferred service.

Create IDCS Application

An IDCS confidential application is needed to configure the IDCS security provider in Weblogic domain during provisioning.

If you are creating the stack as a private service (Checking Enable Private Service option), then the Identity Domain needs to be homed in the same region where the stack is going to be provisioned. Please ensure this before creating the application.

Note
There is an alternate option to auto-create the application along with stack creation. If you prefer to choose that, then the provisioning user needs to be granted Identity Domain Administrator role in the domain’s security settings (see Adding Identity Domain Administrators) and the same user needs to create the stack. If you prefer that option, you can skip this requirement and choose Auto-Create Domain App option during stack provisioning.

Follow the below instructions based on whether OCI Tenancy IAM is with Identity Domains or not.

Additional Steps for Stack Provisioned with a Self-Signed Certificate

If you provisioned the WebCenter Portal stack with a self-signed certificate, then you might encounter issues when trying to upload documents from WebCenter Portal. The upload button might be in a frozen state and will not work, hence the pop-up screen will not be shown. To resolve this issue, complete the following steps.

  1. In the browser, open Developer Tools using Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows) or Option ++ I (Mac) and click the Network tab to see the web traffic.

    Note: For Safari browser, navigate to Settings, Advanced tab, and then to Show features for web developers (Enable) and then press Option ++ C to open Developer Tools and then switch to the Network tab.

  2. Refresh the browser tab in which WebCenter Portal was accessed. Navigate to Home Portal and click the Documents page.

  3. Press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or+Shift + R (Mac) to do a hard refresh. In the web traffic, look for a URL that is similar to

    https://<WebCenter Content host>:16200/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_COAO_JS

    For Safari browser, Option ++ R can be used to do a hard refresh.

  4. Copy the URL for GET_COAO_JS IdcService and open it in a new browser tab. Accept the certificate risk to get the response.

  5. Refresh the browser tab in which WebCenter Portal was accessed. Navigate to Home Portal, click the Documents page and click the Upload button to see a pop-up screen for Document Upload in the browser.

    Note: The above steps need to be completed by all users (for each new browser one time) if users need to resolve the specified issue and upload files using WebCenter Portal Documents Upload UI.

    Note: The specified issue with the upload button is not encountered when a CA signed certificate is used.

Weblogic Remote Console

In 14.1.2, Weblogic Administration Console will be accessible via Weblogic Remote Console. You need to install and setup Weblogic Remote Console Desktop Application.

  1. Follow the Installation steps as described in Install Desktop WebLogic Remote Console

  2. Create and connect to an Admin Server Provider Connection as described in Connect to an Administration Server

    1. For Provider type you will need to select: Add Admin Server Connection Provider.

    2. For the connection URL, use the WebCenter Portal/Content WebLogic Administration Console endpoint from the stack’s Application Information tab under the section WebCenter Portal Endpoints. See WebCenter Portal Endpoints

Configure SAML2 IDCS Single Sign-On in WebCenter Portal

Learn to configure SAML2 IDCS Single Sign-On in WebCenter Portal.

Prerequisites

Complete the following before running the configuration script.

Create a WebCenter Portal Stack

A WebCenter Portal stack should have been created from OCI Marketplace on which SAML2 IDCS SSO configuration needs to be configured.

Create an OAuth Client for IDCS

Follow the below instructions based on whether OCI Tenancy IAM is with Identity Domains or not.

Configuration in Stack

A configuration helper script will be available in every stack VM. It can be executed from Admin compute VM or VM-1 (*-wls-1) for WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Content domains.

The script expects the following inputs.

Argument Description
idcs_tenant

IDCS tenant name

For example, if IDCS URL is idcs-abcde.identity.example.com, then IDCS tenant name would be idcs-abcde.

idcs_domain

IDCS domain

For example, if IDCS URL is idcs-abcde.identity.example.com, then IDCS domain would be identity.example.com.

idcs_client Client ID of the OAuth client created in prerequisites
idcs_client_secret Client secret of the OAuth client created in prerequisites
service_host

Service host with DNS record mapped to load balancer IP

For example, wcpstack1.xyz.com, wccstack1.xyz.com.

If service host is not available, a load-balancer IP can be provided here for testing.

idcs_user_name IDCS user who is configured as WebCenter product administrator user
For WebCenter Portal Domain

Complete the following steps to execute the script:

Run the configure sso script for WebCenter Portal domain from VM having a name like <*>-wcp-wls-1 with service host value for WebCenter Portal load balancer DNS host or IP.

ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -i <key> opc@<bastion-ip>" -i <key> opc@<wcp-vm-1-ip>
 
sudo su - oracle
cd /u01/scripts/sh
 
nohup sh configure_sso.sh --idcs_tenant <idcs-tenant> --idcs_domain identity.oraclecloud.com --idcs_client <idcs_client> --idcs_client_secret <idcs_client> --idcs_username <idcs_username> --service_host <wcp_service_host> &

The script execution progress can be monitored from /u01/data/domains/logs/provisioning.log. Once the execution completes without any error, the configuration is completed in the stack environment.

Note: If the configuration was done with load-balancer IP, then the above script needs to be executed again with the service host once the DNS mapping to WebCenter Portal load-balancer IP is created.

For WebCenter Content Domain

Run the configure sso script for WebCenter Content domain from VM having a name like <*>-wcc-wls-1 with service host value for WebCenter Content load balancer DNS host or IP.

ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -i <key> opc@<bastion-ip>" -i <key> opc@<wcc-vm-1-ip>
 
sudo su - oracle
cd /u01/scripts/sh
 
nohup sh configure_sso.sh --idcs_tenant <idcs-tenant> --idcs_domain identity.oraclecloud.com --idcs_client <idcs_client> --idcs_client_secret <idcs_client> --idcs_username <idcs_username> --service_host <wcc_service_host> &

The script execution progress can be monitored from /u01/data/domains/logs/provisioning.log. Once the execution completes without any error, the configuration is completed in the stack environment.

Note: If the configuration was done with load-balancer IP, then the above script needs to be executed again with the service host once the DNS mapping to WebCenter Content load-balancer IP is created.

Configuration in your IDCS Tenant

Once the SAML configuration is completed on WebCenter Portal, SAML applications will be created under Integrated Applications in the IDCS domain. The WebCenter Portal/WebCenter Content role mapping groups (as described in the tables below) are also created.

WebCenter Portal Group Description
WebcenterGroup The admin role is assigned to the system administrator. By default, this role has Admin permission to all security groups and all accounts, and has rights to all the administration tools.
WebCenter Content Groups Description
admin The admin role is assigned to the system administrator. By default, this role has Admin permission to all security groups and all accounts, and has rights to all the administration tools.
contributor The contributor role has Read and Write permissions to the Public security group, which enables users to search for, view, check in, and check out content.
guest The guest role has Read permission to the Public security group, which enables users to search for and view content.
sysmanager The sysmanager role has privileges to access the Admin Server links from the Administration menu in the user interface.

The Admin user is granted membership to the WebcenterGroup/admin group and can be used to access the service.

The SAML applications will be prefixed with the stack service name. Examples: wcp12_wcp_saml, wcp12_wcc_saml.

Add Users to Groups

To add a new user other than the administrator, you would need to add the user to the IDCS WebCenter Portal/WebCenter Content groups based on the permissions required for their usage.

Verification

After the configuration of SAML, verify the WebCenter Portal application URLs and validate that the IDCS SSO log-in is working.
