Installing Oracle Identity Management (OIM & OAM) 11g R1 PS2 (11.1.1.3) : High Level Steps

Oracle on 21st July, released Identity Management 11gR1 for OAM, OIM, OAAM & OIN (new component introduced in 11gR1) . This post covers very high level steps to install and configure OIM & OAM 11g (detailed step by step instructions coming soon…)  

  • For those who are new to Oracle Identity Management, check this post here for list of  products which comes under Oracle’s Identity Management stack.

A. OAM : Oracle Access Management (product for access management and web Single Sign-On).

B. OIM : Oracle Identity Manager (product for Identity provisioning, reconciliation and management)

.

High Level Steps for OIM & OAM 11g installation
1)Install Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 (aka Oracle WebLogic 11g R1 PS2)

2) Install Oracle Database (11.1.0.7+ or 11.2.X+)

3)Run RCU (Repository Creation Utility) and load schemas
a) For OIM: Select Identity Management – Oracle Identity Manager, SOA Infrastructure schema, the User Messaging Service schema, and the Metadata Services .
b) For OAM : Identity Management – Oracle Access Manager, AS Common Schema – Audit Services.

  • For more information on RCU click here
  • More information on loading schema for OAM/OIM here

4) For Identity Manager only, install SOA 11.1.1.2.0 (11gR1 PS1) and upgrade it to 11.1.1.3.0(11g R1 PS2)
Note* For SOA 11.1.1.3.0 is patchset only where as 11.1.1.2.0 is base software.
Note* If you want just OAM (Oracle Access Manager) : SOA 11g is not required.

5) Install Oracle Identity Management 11g R1 (This step will create ORACLE_HOME for Identity Management- OIM & OAM)

  • For more information on MW_HOME, ORACLE_HOME DOMAIN_HOME click here

6. Run $ORACLE_HOME/common/bin/config.sh (where ORACLE_HOME is directory under MW_HOME for OIM & OAM binaries) to configure your Oracle Identity Management products (OIM & OAM) .

This step will create weblogic domain and deploy applications related to OIM , OAM & OIN.

  • For more information on WebLogic Domain, Admin & Managed Server click here

7. Install WebGates for OAM on HTTP servers which you wish to protect using OAM.

Why is SOA required? How does it fit into the grand picture for IDM?

Reply
Atul Kumar says September 1, 2010

@Kevinb, Human Workflow component of SOA is used by OIM (Identity Manager) during user provisioning or changes on unser identity.

IS there a way to install all Oracle Identity manager manually without going through the GUI screens?
because my OIM takes more than 2 hours to install. Im looking to speedup the prcess.
Is there a way?

Atul Kumar says January 7, 2011

@ Sam,
OIM takes more than 2 hours to install – This could be because of memory/cpu issues (not enough resource) .

Anyway to use silent insatll using response file

Hi Atul,

I’m new to OIF11g. I installed OID11g,OVD11g,OIF11g in one machine.
I installed OAM11g in another machine.
Now I want to integrate OAM11g and OIF11g for SSO.
I installed Apache HTTP 2.0.52 server in OIF machine and Webgate 10.1.4.3 also installed on APACHE server.
AccessServerSDK also installed in OIF machine at OIF domain_home.

please provide any link to integrate them.

Thanks & Regards,

Nagendra.

@ Nagendra,
There are two modes in which OIF can be integrated with OAM

a) SP Mode (Service Provider)
b) Authentication Mode

Hi Atul, I installed the latest OAM 11.1.1.5. I am able login and configure using http://admin_server:admin_port/oamconsole. But when I access the OAM url http://oam_server:oam_port/oam. It is giving a single sign-on error message “Error
System error. Please re-try your action. If you continue to get this error, please contact the Administrator.”. Is this supposed to be that way?. Please advice.

Atul Kumar says October 6, 2011

@ Naveen,
This is because IAMSuite is enabled by default and there is problem in your oam managed server.

Check managed server oam_server1 log file for errors or as workaround you can remove provider IAMSuite using weblogic console.

For log location and troubleshooting tips check my book at https://www.packtpub.com/oracle-identity-and-access-manager-11g-for-administrators/book

@ Nagesh,
Which document did you use to integarte OAM with ECM ?

Is ECM weblogic domain using same OID server that is integrated with OAM ?

Reply
Nagesh says February 1, 2013

Thanks for the update Atul,

Both are on different servers.

Reply
Atul Kumar says February 1, 2013

@ Nagesh,
Do you mean there are two different OIDs one for ECM and another for OAM ?
