Hi Atul,

I want OAM in my application for single signon solution.what are the products i have to download and install? I am using OID for data source.Can please tell me installation process with OID for OAM.Thanks

Hi Atul,

I want OIM in my application for single signon solution.what are the products i have to download and install? I am using OID for data source.Can please tell me installation process with OID for OIM.Thanks

Hi Atul,

I want OIM in my application for single signon solution.what are the products i have to download and install? I am using OID for data source AND weblogic as the APPLICATION SERVER.Can please tell me installation process with OID and weblogic for OIM.what is the difference between OAM and OIM ? Thanks

Hi Atul,

I mistakenly given OAM instead of OIM.I am using the Weblogic as application server.Thanks

Hi Atul,

I have written OAM instead of OIM. Please suggest the solution by taking the before question into consideration. Thanks in advance.

OAM is Oracle Access Manager and used for identity and access management product (Single Sign-On, Authentication/Authorization, User/Group Creation Managment)

OIM is Oracle Identity Manager and used for User provisioning (Creating a user in OIM and then provision them to various applications like ERP, database, AD, OID…)

If you are planning to implement Single Sign-On using OAM and wish to use OID as user/configuration and policy store then install all components as mentioned above (instead of AD use OID). Install HTTP Server infront of WebLogic and install webgate on HTTP. Configure OAM Authenticator and Identity Asserter in WebLogic (post coming soon..)

Hi All.

Well I have installed OHS11g and installed identity server 10.1.4.3 and webpass 10.1.4.3 on linux-x64. Unfortunately when I try to login to http://host:port/identity/oblix it comes up with a page that just says OPEN, and nothing else. I have logged an Oracle SR, but still no resolution. Anyone had a similar problem?

What is communication mode between webpass and identity server (simple , open or ssl) ?

Did you try re-starting Identity server and web server ?

Is there any error in $Identity_server/oblix/oblog.log

Hi, the communication mode is OPEN.

Yes I have reinstalled both identity server and webpass. Oracle support initially recommended user be root to install, however their install notes conflict with this. I have added the user oidoam to the dba,adm,sys groups and tried the install again, however the issue is still present.

There are warning messages but the only ERROR message is:

Using NPTL Threading Library.
2010/07/01@10:23:55.640493 11095 11095 INIT ERROR 0x000003B6 ../oblistrwutil.cpp:192 “Could not read file” filename^/u01/oidoam/identity/oblix/data/common/binaryattrnames.xml.

Not sure this is an issue.

what is version (exact 11.1.1.1 or 11.1.1.2 or 11.1.1.3) and bit (32 or 64) of OHS 11g, what is Linux version (4 ot 5) ?

Host is as below:

[ooidoam@dndun006 logs]$ uname -a
Linux dndun006.pipelinetrust.com.au 2.6.18-164.0.0.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 00:21:28 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

OHS11g is 11.1.1.2, and 64 bit.

@ FatCatMatt,
Did you manage to restart OHS (OHS 11g 64 bit failed to come up after webpass install in my case) ?

Webpass 10.1.4.3 is NOT certified with 64 bit of 11g OHS . It is certified with 32 bit of OHS 11g . Check OAM certification at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/id_mgmt/coreid_acc/pdf/oracle_access_manager_certification_10.1.4_r3_matrix.xls Under sheet client certification.

Unfortunately you can’t install 32 bit OHS 11g on 64 bit Linux (I know this was possible in 10g OHS but not in 11g OHS).

Try installing 32 bit 10g OHS and then install webpass and try.

Just to confirm check OHS 11g log files, Do you know where log file for OHS 11g sit ? ($INSTANCE_HOME/diagnostics/OHS/ohs1/.. not 100% sure)

We are trying to implement single signon solution
With Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Apache 2.2 Webserver
May I know when will you post
Step by Step Oracle Access Manager (OAM) installation with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) coming soon ….

If there are any config changes different from Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) to Apache 2.2 Webserver please make a point

@ Arjun,
Which OAM you are planning to use (OAM 10g or 11g) I’ll point you to respective documentation .

Hi Atul,
I would like to set up Oracle Apps 12.1.1 to authenticate login id/password against Microsoft Active Directory. I don’t need SSO and I don’t need to sync information from Apps to AD. Is this possible and if so, what components would I need, OID, OIM, something else? Is there any documentation that you can point me to that will help me get this configured?
Thanks

@ Larry,
OID is mandatory but you don’t need OIM that is sure.

For passwords you can leave them just in AD (no password in apps or OID) and for this you would need external authentication plugin in AD configured to use password in AD.

So use EBS to OID and OID to AD for user synchronization.

For login to apps, I am not sure if you can do this without SSO (either Oracle Access Manager or 10g OSSO) . Check with Oracle Support regarding this.

Check chapter 6 of Oracle Apps Security Guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_07/current/acrobat/121sasg.pdf

If Oracle says that SSO is mandatory then my preference for new SSO implementation would be Oracle Access Manager (10g as I don’t think OAM 11g is yet certified with EBS)

I’ll update you if I can find more information this.

Atul,

Thanks for the information. From all of my reading, it looks like I have to use OIM. I don’t think my boss will think it is worth $140,000 for OIM just to authenticate to AD.

You have done a great job with your site. I really like the glossary information you include at the beginning of your posts.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks again,

Larry

Hi Atul,

Could you please guide me on how to configure policy manager in the cluster?. I think we cannot install policy manager on both servers in the cluster. If i install one one then access system console only on that node. How to failover this to other node?. could you please help with this?

Ronald

Hi…
Atul

i Want to upgrade my OAM 10.1.4.0.1 to OAM 10.1.4.0.4..your previos comment you mentioned that why to install 10.1.4.0.1 directly you can install 10.1.4.0.3 but my task is to upgrade frm OAM 10.1.4.0.1 to OAM 10.1.4.0.4 so can u please provide the necessary doccument…if present

my o.s is solaris..
using microsoft ad 2003
and remaining all i.e..,identity server,webpass and etc.. are all of 10.1.4.0.1 and need to upgrade to 10.1.4.0.3

@ Mohankumar,
Your comments are scattered across different posts with no links to previous comment (like above comment related to versions was asked earlier on different post and now this one here). This breaks continuity and confuses other readers, I am sorry to say that I’ll not repond to your queries if not asked properly in related post.

If you need answer to this or any other query please post comment in related post and also next query related to same question should be asked on same post. This will help other readers to understand and get help from issues similar to yours.

Hi…
Atul,

As in my previous comment i mentioned that i need to upgrade from 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.0.4..but i am sorry i need to upgrade from 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.0.3..and in the above comment i mentioned the details..so could you please provide the details…how to upgrade

Hi Atul,
I want to deny access to a user based on an end date(OrclActiveEndDate) attribute in OID. I want to setup a policy in OAM to do that. I figured out that we cant use date checks or > or < in the policies to validate. What is the best solution for this

Hi Atul,

I just want to know few details about OAM. Our Oracle Applications version is 11.5.10.2, OS is Solaris sparc 64bit version 10 and planing to install OAM 10.1.4.3. For that First we have installed,

Database 11.2.0.3
Weblogic server 10.3.5
OID – 11.1.1.5
OHS 10.1.3.x (here we are confusing)
OAM component 10.1.4.3

First we installed OHS 11g and heard that that is supportable with Solaris 64bit. then contacted oracle and they informed to install OHS 10g. Now they are telling that OHS 10g is not supportable with webpass 10.1.4.3. We are in bit confusion and need your help on which version we need to install. Please advice.

@ Vijay Gadagoni,
10g OAM is bit complicated, webpass in 10.1.4.3 is certified on 11g OHS but with 32 bit.

You can go install webpass on 10g or 11g OHS but it should be 32 bit OHS .

For all certified webservers for webpass check certification matrix at http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=oracle%20identity%20management%2010.1.4.3%20webpass%20certification%20matrix&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fmiddleware%2Fdownloads%2Foracle-accessmgr-10gr3-certmatrix-132000.xls&ei=GmlKUL2XDsa_0QWS_4HoAg&usg=AFQjCNEmg3xQgbQpEdItzo-tOcgMR_xSDA

Look under sheet “Client Ceriticate”

We also provide consulting services and can install OAM 10g for you remotely but this will be paid service .

Hi Atul,

I want to integrate OAM(10g) with EBS R12.1.3 for SSO.

Do I require the Identity Server Component of the OAM 10g. I think no. Please suggest. Since one of your blog says we can install We can install either of the component.

In that Case How I can proceed.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between OAM and sailpoint. And can we integrate both the products.

Ashwini
