A Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Example
There are different ways of installing Oracle WebLogic Server. This topic contains an example to install Oracle WebLogic Server.
This topic contains the following sections that describe software requirements and WebLogic Server installation and configuration:
Installing WebLogic Server
Note:
The version of WebLogic Server as mentioned in Installing the Oracle WebLogic Server in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence guide may not be the default one. Ensure to download the correct version.Setting Up the Environment for WebLogic Server
The Advanced Management Console server initialization web page is not protected and can be accessed by any user.
Creating a WebLogic Server Domain
To create a WebLogic Server domain:
In the AMC documentation, the directory %MW_HOME%\user_projects\domains\domain1
represents DOMAIN_HOME
.
Starting a WebLogic Server Administration Server
To log in to the WebLogic Server administration server:
Creating and Configuring a WebLogic Server Managed Server
Domains include a special Oracle WebLogic Server instance called the Administration Server, which is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources in the domain. Typically, you configure a domain to include additional Oracle WebLogic Server instances called Managed Servers.
Follow this example method to create a Managed Server for the WebLogic Server:
Configuring the Corporate LDAP Server
Groups in the corporate LDAP server are used to access AMC.
The following groups should be created in the corporate LDAP server:
-
cn=groups
-
cn=AMCAdminGroup
-
cn=AMCDRSGroup
-
cn=AMCJICGroup
-
cn=AMCReportsGroup
-
Any user who needs access to AMC (with LDAP integration) should be assigned to at least one or all of the roles listed above. After this is completed, you may have to follow the instructions provided in Configuring LDAP Security Server in WebLogic Server to complete the LDAP integration process. See Using a WebLogic Deployment Plan for Customizing LDAP Group Names if you need to customize the name of the user groups that AMC will access for LDAP authentication.
Using a WebLogic Deployment Plan for Customizing LDAP Group Names
You can create and use a WebLogic deployment plan if you intend to use descriptor values other than default settings during deployment. This enables you to customize the name of user groups that AMC has access to for LDAP.
Configuring LDAP Security Server in WebLogic Server
You can configure your Oracle WebLogic server to connect to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, so that the Advanced Management Console can communicate with the WebLogic Server, without having to connect to the LDAP
To configure WebLogic server to connect to the LDAP server:
