Creating Users in Oracle Internet Directory (OID)
This post covers creating users in OID using ODSM, this OID user will be used as admin user for OAM-OID integration in our Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11gR2 Admin Training (training starts on 3rd May and fee is 699 USD). For part I of OID/OVD installation click here and for part II click here
.
In this exercise, we use Oracle Directory Services Manager (more on ODSM here) to add a user to Oracle Internet Directory.You need access to an instance of Oracle Directory Services Manager (GUI) or you can use command line tool ldapadd to create users in OID.
Invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager in one of the following ways:
- To invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager from Fusion Middleware Control (/em) – Select an Oracle Internet Directory , select Directory Services Manager from the Oracle Internet Directory menu in the Oracle Internet Directory target, then select the specific screen in Oracle Directory Services Manager. Oracle Directory Services Manager displays the connection dialog for the same Oracle Internet Directory instance.
- To invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager directly: http://host:port/odsm
In this case we will connect to ODSM directly through the browser
