Oracle Linux 8.x and Red Hat Linux 8.x Application Server
This section describes the software requirements for operating the application using the Oracle Linux or Red Hat Linux application server.
Supported Application Servers
Web/Application Server Tier
Oracle Enterprise Linux 8.x or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x Operating System Running on x86_64 64-bit Architecture
UNIX Administrator UserID
The following user groups and accounts have to be created to install and administer the application:
Note: It is recommended that you change the default values for security reasons.
Throughout this document the administrator user ID is often referred to as the “cissys” user ID. You should substitute that with the customer defined user id when not using the default value. After the initial install, the software should always be managed using that user id.
By default, the cissys userid is the only one given access to the files installed.
1. Create the ‘cisusr’ user group.
2. Create the ‘cissys’ user. Primary group cisusr. Set the primary shell for the cissys user to Korn Shell.
The shell scripts use the “>” to overwrite shell functionality. Your operating system may be configured to not allow this functionality by default in the users shell.
To avoid file access permission problems when executing scripts, consider placing the following command into cissys profile script:
set +o noclobber
Security Configuration
Various options exists to secure a system. In this application all files will be created with the minimum permissions required to ensure that group-readable, group-writable and group-executable files will have the correct user groups and to restrict the permissions available to legitimate users. In this way, a low privileged end user cannot directly edit configuration files and thereby bypass application security controls.
The following users and group categories must be defined to implement this security. For demonstration purposes the following users and groups will be used. These users must be created according to industry standards (including password policies). All users should be created with a default umask of 077 to ensure files created during normal operation have the correct permissions.
Please replace these users and groups for your installation defaults:
Note: The Oracle Client and WebLogic should be installed as the user who will stop and start the application. For example, if you plan to run the application as the install user these components must belong to cissys.
You must use the same user for starting and stopping a process. For example, if cissys is used to start the application server, the use cissys to stop it as well.
Oracle Client 19c - Runtime Option
Install the Oracle Client as described in the Oracle Client installation documentation. Use the cissys account to install the Oracle Client. If another user installs the Oracle Client, make sure the cissys user ID has the proper execute permissions.
For the cissys user ID, ensure that the environment variable ORACLE_CLIENT_HOME is set up, and that ORACLE_CLIENT_HOME/perl/bin is the first Perl listed in the cissys account's PATH variable.
Oracle Java Development Kit 1.8.x or Later (64-Bit)
At the time of release, Oracle Java packages could be obtained from:
The Oracle WebLogic Server requires the 64-bit version. The main prerequisite for the web server is the version of Java mentioned above.
For the user ID cissys, ensure that the environment variable JAVA_HOME is setup, and that java_home/bin and java_home/lib can be found in cissys' PATH variable.
Hibernate 4.1.0
You must install Hibernate 4.1.0 before installing Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Management. For instructions to install Hibernate 4.1.0, refer to the
Installing Hibernate 4.1.0 section.
Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 2 (12.2.1.4) 64-bit
Oracle WebLogic software can be downloaded from the Oracle web site. This application server will run as a 64-bit application.
• Download and install 64-bit Java (as documented above) before installing WebLogic.
• Download and install WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.
Note: If you plan on using the Oracle Utilities Application Framework in native mode within Oracle WebLogic (as opposed to embedded mode), refer to
Native Installation Oracle Utilities Application Framework (Doc ID: 1544969.1) on
