A Secure Deployment Checklist

Follow this checklist to deploy your Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller securely.

1. Preinstallation steps:

   1. Install Oracle Unified Directory (OUD).

   2. Configure Oracle Database advanced security encryption and integrity algorithms for a secure connection from the installer.

2. Installation steps:

   1. Install Offline Mediation Controller with the default Complete mode.

3. Postinstallation steps:

   1. Create, exchange, and import certificates. See "Configuring Certificates" for more information.

   2. Verify that file permissions for the installed files are 600 for all non-executable files and 700 for all executable files.

   3. Delete the log files in the oraInventory/logs folder if you do not need them or protect them appropriately if they are required for further installations.

   4. When you are starting mediation processes, keep in mind to start Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) along with the processes. This ensures that only authorized users can log in to the mediation processes. See "Starting Offline Mediation Controller" for more information.

   5. While configuring JDBC cartridges, make sure that the file permissions for the configuration file of the cartridge is set to 600.
