Blank Screen on OAM 10g Identity Server Console : /identity/oblix
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 10g consists of two type of components Identity System and Access System. For OAM 10g architecture and components click here . In OAM 11g, there is NO identity system (Identity functions in OAM 11g are moved to another product called Oracle Identity Manager– OIM), for list of changes (difference) between OAM 10g and OAM 11g check my previous post here
This post covers one of most common (and annoying) issue of OAM 10g where OAM Identity Console (URL as /identity/oblix ) screen displayed as blank (no error nothing). If you are new to OAM 10g or installing Oracle Fusion Application (OAM 10g is required for Fusion Application) then this issue could take good amount of time, before you identify root cause.

Root Cause: Identity Server is down
Fix: Start Identity Server
cd $IDENTITY_SERVER_HOME/oblix/apps/common/bin
./start_ois_server_nptl
