<\/a> Identity Management is Infrastructure component of Application server in Fusion Middleware Family.<\/p>\n

Oracle’s Identity Management Components include –
\nSSO<\/strong> – Oracle Single Sign-On Server
\nOID<\/strong> – Oracle Internet Directory
\nDAS<\/strong> – Delegated Administrative Services
\nDIP<\/strong> – Directory Integration & Provisioning Services
\nOCA<\/strong> – Oracle Certifying authority (Optional)<\/p>\n

I am going to cover them in detail in my future posts, These Services & Component are quite important for Apps DBA as IM (Identity Management) is part of Oracle Apps Release 12.<\/p>\n

This post covers overview & important notes w.r.t. to Identity Management Cluster where IM component are in Active<\/strong> Active <\/strong><\/em>scenario, which means IM components (OID, SSO, DAS) are available on both nodes for High Availability .<\/p>\n

For IM underlying database can be single Instance database or Two or Multiple Instance RAC (Preferably atleast Two Node) <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Distributed \/ Non Distributed IM <\/strong>
\nDistributed IM<\/em><\/strong> means IM components (SSO, DAS, OID) are distributed on more than one machine (SSO & DAS on one machine & OID on second machine).
\nNon Distributed IM<\/strong> means all IM components are on same machine.
\nYou can cluster both Distributed or Non Distributed Identity Management<\/p>\n

Here are few Notes\/Checks which I learnt from my various Implementations<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Things you should know before starting Installation<\/strong>
\n– Check if you want Distributed or Non-distributed IM Cluster
\n– Virtual Name of HTTP Server (Infra for SSO & OIDDAS<\/span><\/em>) and protocol (http or https<\/span><\/em>)
\n– Virtual Name of OID including port (SSL & NON-SSL, you need both. Default is 389 & 636 resp<\/em><\/span>)
\n– Communication protocol requirement (HTTP or HTTPS) between
\nCLIENT -> Load Balancer -> HTTP Server<\/strong><\/p>\n

things you must do before Installing Oracle AS Identity Management Cluster<\/strong>
\n– synchronize system clock on all server (which are part of cluster<\/span>) with in 250 second
\n– set cookie persistence at load balancer specifically for URI \/oiddas\/ <\/strong>, If your browser doesn’t support persistence setting at URI level then set for all HTTP Traffic (Set cookie to expire when browser session expires<\/span>)
\n– Before Installing firt OID Node make sure TCP monitoring is not enabled on Load Balancer on first node
\n– Configure load balancer to return immediately to calling clients<\/p>\n

Things\/Tips which will be handy for AS Cluster (IM Type)<\/strong>
\n– For first OID Node Installation, make sure MR is not registered with any OID else it will fail. Installer checks that & if it finds that MR is already registered it assumes first node & asks for first OID node information to make it part of OID cluster<\/span><\/em>
\n– <\/em>Choose similar component on other node of cluster (i.e. If node first Node you have OID & DAS then on other Cluster node also Install OID & DAS<\/span><\/em>)
\n– To access OID on any OID node in cluster , you have to use Password for ias_admin on first installation and not ias_admin password used second , third or further installation of Instance in cluster (oiddas, orasso, oidmon)
\n– For IM Cluster you always select IM and not IM+MR (This is during Installation Screen<\/span><\/em>)
\n– For IM content database should already be loaded with Metadata Repository using Repca or MRCA (Repository Creation Assistance or Metadata Repository Creation Assistance<\/span><\/em>)
\n– Installation steps for first OID Node is different than subsequent Node
\n– For IM Cluster , never select IM+MR during Installation screen , always select IM only.
\n– You have to select HA (High Availability) during Installation Options.<\/p>\n
