Installing the Oracle Internet Directory Software

3 Installing the Oracle Internet Directory Software

Follow the steps in this section to install the Oracle Internet Directory software.

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have verified the prerequisites and completed all steps covered in Preparing to Install and Configure Oracle Internet Directory.

Note:

If you wish to install Oracle Internet Directory in Standalone mode, you do not require Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure. You can proceed with the Oracle Internet Directory installation.

If you wish to install Oracle Internet Directory in Collocated mode, ensure that you install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.3.0) first, followed by the Oracle Internet directory 12c (12.2.1.3.0). Infrastructure and Oracle Internet Directory must be installed in the same Oracle Home.

For more information about installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.3.0), see Installing the Infrastructure Software in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure

Enter the following command:
- (UNIX) ./fmw_12.2.1.3.0_oid_linux64.bin
- (Windows) setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_oid_win64.exe
- (For other platforms) ./fmw_12.2.1.3.0_oid_platform_hardware architecture.bin
  
  For example: ./fmw_12.2.1.3.0_oid_solaris_sparc64.bin
Note:

You will not be able to execute ./fmw_12.2.1.3.0_oid_linux64.bin if it does not have execute permission. Make sure to check and grant execute permission before running this command.

Navigating the Installation Screens

The installer shows a series of screens where you verify or enter information.

The following table lists the order in which installer screens appear. If you need additional help with an installation screen, click Help.

Table 3-2 Oracle Internet Directory Install Screens

Screen	Description
Installation Inventory Setup	On UNIX operating systems, this screen opens if this is the first time you are installing any Oracle product on this host. Specify the location where you want to create your central inventory. Make sure that the operating system group name selected on this screen has write permissions to the central inventory location. See About the Oracle Central Inventory in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer. This screen does not appear on Windows operating systems.
Welcome	Review the information to make sure that you have met all the prerequisites, then click Next.
Auto Updates	Select to skip automatic updates, select patches, or search for the latest software updates, including important security updates, through your My Oracle Support account.
Installation Location	Specify your Oracle home directory location. You can click View to verify and ensure that you are installing Oracle Internet Directory in the correct Oracle home.
Installation Type	Select Standalone OID or Collocated OID based on what topology you would like to deploy. In case of a Standalone mode, you can install OID without configuring any WebLogic domain. However, you should configure a standalone domain. If you choose the Collocated mode, OID will be managed by the WebLogic domain. You will have to install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.3.0) prior to installing OID, in case of a Collocated mode.
JDK Selection	Note: This screen appears for certain distributions only. Use this screen to select the JDK to use for this installation.
Prerequisite Checks	This screen verifies that your system meets the minimum necessary requirements. To view the list of tasks that gets verified, select View Successful Tasks. To view log details, select View Log. If any prerequisite check fails, then an error message appears at the bottom of the screen. Fix the error and click Rerun to try again. To ignore the error or the warning message and continue with the installation, click Skip (not recommended).
Specify Security Updates	Note: This screen appears only if you selected Standalone HTTP Server (Managed independently of WebLogic server) as the Installation Type. If you already have an Oracle Support account, use this screen to indicate how you would like to receive security updates. If you do not have one and are sure you want to skip this step, clear the check box and verify your selection in the follow-up dialog box.
Installation Progress	This screen shows the installation progress. When the progress bar reaches 100% complete, click Finish to dismiss the installer, or click Next to see a summary.
Installation Complete	This screen displays the Installation Location and the Feature Sets that are installed. Review this information and click Finish to close the installer.
