Creating an Identity Domain

You can create more than one domain in the IAM Interface. Your test and production environments can be located in different identity domains. To create an identity domain, administrators need to know which identity domain type they want to create, in which compartment to create it, and the new identity domain administrator's sign-in credentials, if needed.

To create an identity domain:

  1. Access the IAM Interface. See Accessing IAM Interface.
  2. Click Create domain.
    Create identity domain

  3. On the Create domain page, enter a display name, description, and select Oracle Apps Premium as Domain type. Even if you select Free, you will be transitioned to Oracle Apps Premium.

  4. If you want to use your administrative user account for this identity domain, then clear the Create an administrative user for this domain checkbox. Otherwise, enter the details of the user who you want to administer this identity domain.

    Note:

    Granting users or groups the Identity Domain Administrator role for domains other than the default domain grants them full administrator permissions to only that domain (not to the tenancy). At least one administrator for the identity domain must be granted the Identity Domain Administrator role directly. This is in addition to any Identity Domain Administrator roles granted by group membership.
  5. Verify that the correct compartment is selected.
  6. To add tagging, select Show advanced options and enter the tagging details.
  7. Under Remote region disaster recovery, click Enable remote region disaster recovery. You must be subscribed to the paired region to enable remote region disaster recovery. For example, if your home region is US East (Ashburn), then you must be subscribed to US West (Phoenix). For more information, see Disaster Recovery Region Pairings.
  8. Select Create domain.
