Oracle Entitlement Server (OES) is a fine grained authorization engine from Oracle and is part of Oracle Identity Management Suite. For High Level installation Steps of Identity Management 11gR2 click here For Oracle Identity Management 11gR2 documentation click here and for software click here
Software Required for OES 11gR2
There are two parts of OES
- Server Side Component (OES Administration Console or Authorization Policy Manager – APM)
- Client Side Component (Security Module – SM). There are various different types of Security Modules (OES client side component) . WebLogic Security Module is most common, hence I am going to cover installation & configuration of WebLogic SM in this series.
In order to install OES 11gR2 (11.1.2) server side component, you would need following software
- Oracle Database (10.2.0.4+ or 11.1.0.7+ or 11.2.0.1+)
- JDK (1.6.29+)
- Oracle WebLogic Server (10.3.6 or 10.3.5)
- Oracle Repository Creation Utility RCU (11.1.2)
- Oracle Identity & Access Management Software (11.1.2)
In order to install OES 11gR2 (11.1.2) client side component (WebLogic Security Module), you would need following software
- Oracle WebLogic Server
- OES Client Software
OES Installation Steps
1. Install Database – This database will be used to create OPSS schema to store Authorization Policies . OPSS : Oracle Platform Security Services
2. Create OPSS schema using RCU 11.1.2 – More on RCU here .
Note: Select Oracle Platform Security Services & Metadata Services from list of available schema
3. Install JDK 1.6
Note: JDK will be used to install WebLogic in next steps and also to run Application on Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
4. Install WebLogic Server 10.3.6 (This step will create Middleware Home $MW_HOME). More on WebLogic installation here and here
Note: You must install Identity & Access Management Software (this also contains OES software) inside MW_HOME
5. Install Oracle Identity & Access Management 11.1.2 software
runInstaller -jreLoc <Location_of_JDK>
Note: When prompted for Middleware Home, provide directory that you used for Middleware Home in previous step. This step will create ORACLE_HOME containing OES software
