I am going to talk about installation of Oracle Identity Federation 10g in this post. To learn some basics of OIF, there are some Question and Answers written here<\/a>, go through it.<\/p>\n

I am illustrating the installation carried out in development environment and hence it will not cover high availability and cluster options. However, I will run through few points explaining those features as and when that context comes.<\/p>\n

There are two types of OIF installation: Basic and Advanced.<\/p>\n

With Basic install, OIF utilizes memory to store both Federation and Transient data. Hence, you will not see those options during installation. One disadvantage with this install type is: You will not have choice to select your own ports for OIF HTTP Server, OC4J and so on.<\/p>\n

With Advanced install, OIF provides options to choose Federation and Transient data stores. Also, it can provide options for configuring high availability and ports selection option (using staticports.ini) .<\/p>\n

Though our install is in development environment, I have selected Advance option to have my own ports selection. I am going to install OIF in folder called IDP_OIF and placed staticports.ini under IDP_OIF as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s see the staticports.ini content as shown below.<\/p>\n

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

Installation steps are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Run the installer setup.exe (from the extracted OIF) as valid administrator.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Install wizard will appear and click Next.<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Specify Oracle Home name and installation path of Oracle Identity Federation.<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Ensure that Oracle Identity Federation 10g option is selected.<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Select Advanced <\/strong>installation method.<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Select the check box to ensure that you have administrator rights.<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Select Manual <\/strong>option and point to the staticports.ini <\/strong>path.<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Let us talk about the three options available in this step.\n
