Oracle Identity Management (OID) 11g installation Issues on Linux

Last month I discussed 11g Identity Management (OID, DIP, OVD and OIF) installation here , today’s post covers issues encountered during 11g OID/OVD installation on Linux.

1.  Set hard file and soft file limit to at-least 4096 for user installing 11g Identity Management (OID)

. 

/etc/security/limits.conf

<os_user> hard nofile 4096
<os_user> soft nofile 4096

If O.S. user installing 11g Identity Management is “oracle” then add entry like below in /etc / security/ limits.conf

oracle hard nofile 4096
oracle soft nofile 4096

2. Database (Repository for IdM) should be minimum 10.2.0.4 (for 10g) or 11.1.0.6 (for 11g)

For complete database list  click here

3. Database processes should be at-least 500 , if not change it like

SQL> alter system set processes=500 scope=both;

scope=both -> If you are using spfile .
modify init<sid>.ora -> if you are using pfile .

4.  Unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL else Installation will fail at instance creation (during start of OPMN)

.

How to check if LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is set ?
echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

How to unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL ?
unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Hi,
I am using OID 11g, I am not able to retrieve user password.I have followed steps mentioned at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b15991/pwdstore.htm and checked orclpwdencryptionenable is having value 1. still when i try to retrive user’s passowrd it returns null.

String userPassword = (String) userProfile
.getPropertyVal(“orclRevPwd”);

the same code is properly working with OID 10.1.4.3.

thanks

Hi, Im getting an install failure on Linux…doing a /opt/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/bin/config.sh to just install OVD

after patching to 11.1.1.3.0 and it never gets past the bootstrap domain configuration stage…dies silently two hours later

:/

“No data for action:Bootstrap Domain Configuration”

is the last thing in the install log

I managed to get it installed, apparently it was an issue with the Time Zone

Hi Atul,

we are using Oracle Apps R12.1.3 and the Microsoft Active Directory

we have the following requirement:

we need to integrate Microsoft Active Directory with APPS R12.1.3 For

-Employee master information needs to be interfaced to Active Directory on a regular interval which should be updated in the active directory.

-Whenever new email address for an employee is created in Active directory, the information needs to flow to Oracle HRMS.

Please let us know the method to achieve with minimal latest oracle softwares?

For this OID is required , So what component should i install and integrate from Identity Management ?

Is Oracle Apps R12.1.3 certified with Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory?

Regards
Kiran
