This post covers overview of Policy Enforcement Points (known as Agents) in OAM 11g. For Step by Step installation<\/strong> of OAM 11g\u00a0click here<\/a> and\u00a0to know about\u00a0changes in\u00a0Access Manager (OAM)\u00a011g click here<\/a><\/p>\n

Agent<\/strong> in OAM 11g : is Policy Enforcement Point<\/strong> (PEP) registered with\u00a0 WebServer <\/strong>(Apache, OHS, IBM HTTP Server), Application Server <\/strong>(WebLogic…)\u00a0or third party application to protect using Oracle Access Manager 11g.\u00a0 Example of OAM 11g Agent (aka Policy Enforcement Agents) are WebGate, AccessGate, OSSO Agent and IDM Domain Agent<\/p>\n

a) WebGate<\/strong>: WebGate is pre-packaged webserver plug-in to protect web-server via OAM11g. There are two version<\/strong>of WebGate i.e. 10g WebGate and 11g WebGate . OAM 11g server supports both 10g WebGate and 11g WebGate<\/p>\n

b) AccessGate<\/strong> : is custom access client developed using AccessSDK <\/strong>to protect non web-based applications protected by OAM 11g<\/p>\n

c) mod_osso or OSSO agent<\/strong>: Agents introduced in OAM 11g\u00a0for\u00a0Oracle AS 10g SSO (Single Sign-On)<\/p>\n

d) IDM Domain Agent :<\/strong>\u00a0 IDM Domain agent provides SSO for OAM Console and other IDM consoles (OIM, OAAM..) deployed on WebLogic Domain in Identity Management 11g.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Key points for OAM 11g Agents<\/u><\/strong>
\n1. <\/strong>A Web server, Application Server, or any third-party application must be protected by a WebGate, mod_osso or AccessGate instance that is registered with Oracle Access Manager as an agent.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>Agent (access gate\/webgate\/mod_osso) communicate with OAM Server (in OAM 10g this is Access Server) to check protected resource and configured access policies<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Individual agents must be registered (from OAM console or Remote Registration Tool)\u00a0with Oracle Access Manager 11g to set up the required trust mechanism between the agent and OAM Server.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Registering an Agent with OAM Server 11g is also known as “Registering a partner application<\/strong>” or “Regsitering a partner application with OAM<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> When you register an Agent, a key is created and stored at Agent side in local wallet <\/strong>file, and at OAM Server side in Java Key Store<\/strong>. There is one key-pair per Agent with exception to WebGate 10g (There is only one secret key for all 10g Webgates registered with OAM 11g)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>On Agent registration, it create files on OAM’s WebLogic Admin Server under $DOMAIN_HOME\/output\/<agent_name><\/strong>(ObAccessClient.xml, cwallet.sso, osso.conf, )
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

How various agents talk to OAM Server ?
\n<\/u><\/strong>
\na) WebGate 11g :<\/strong>After registration with OAM Server 11g, WebGate 11g directly communicates with OAM 11g server (No Proxy)<\/p>\n

b) WebGate 10g<\/strong>: After registration with OAM Server 11g, WebGate 10g communicates with OAM 11g server through J2EE based OAM Proxy.<\/p>\n

c) IDM Domain Agent<\/strong>: This agent is installed as part of Identity Management Domain (WebLogic Domain) and performs as an OAM 10g Agent.<\/p>\n

d) OSSO Agent (mod_osso 10g)<\/strong> : After registration with OAM Server 11g, OSSO agents communicate with OAM server via OSSO Proxy (OSSO proxy converts OSSO protocol to OAM 11g authentication service protocol).<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

How to register Agent with OAM server ?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

To register Agents you can use
\na) OAM Administration Server Console<\/strong>: ( http:\/\/server:7001\/oamconsole<\/strong> ) where 7001 is Admin server port <\/strong>for WebLogic server on which OAM server 11g is installed.<\/p>\n

Administration Console -> System Configuration -> Agent Node<\/p>\n

b) Command Line Tool (aka Remote Registration Tool)<\/strong> :\u00a0 oamreg.sh<\/strong> (Unix) or oamreg.bat<\/strong> (Windows)\u00a0
