INTRODUCTION This post is part of a larger series on Oracle Access Manager 11g called Oracle Access Manager Academy. An index to the entire series with links to each of the separate posts is available. In Part 1: Getting under the covers of Detached Credential Collector (DCC), I spent time talking about DCC in general and walked through a sequence diagram explaining what is happening with DCC, to try and explain how it works including contrasting it with ECC. So in this blog,...

The company's security officer is responsible for facilitating these and may request many reports from the administrators of the respective systems. Very often these reports include user activities for log in, log out, entering wrong passwords, resetting passwords, etc. Fusion Applications provides a number of reports for many industries out of...

INTRODUCTION This post is part of a larger series on Oracle Access Manager 11g called Oracle Access Manager Academy. An index to the entire series with links to each of the separate posts is available. I recently was working on one of my virtual environments that had three servers, which included OAM 11gR2PS2, though this could happen with pretty much any version of OAM. It started with my browser requesting a protected resource, and I was presented with the login page as...

Introduction Recently while working with a customer to help with an upgrade from OIM 11gR1 to 11gR2PS2, one interesting request came up regarding OIM GUI customization. The requirement was to expose some User System Attributes that in R1 were directly available in the GUI customization data but in R2 are not exposed in the GUI Customization options. There is a way in R2 to easily expose the data using a custom Managed Bean along with some GUI tweaks. The process for...

Does your environment have demanding performance requirements? High volume, customer-facing applications such as eCommerce or Internet banking, with business critical requirements for low response time? Then having last login tracking enabled in OID (orclpwdtracklogin=1 in your password policy) can have a substantial performance cost. It converts every login, every bind/compare against an OID entry, into a modify of that OID entry to update the last login time attribute....

Introduction This post is part of a larger series on Oracle Access Manager 11g called Oracle Access Manager Academy. An index to the entire series with links to each of the separate posts is available. The Detached Credential Collector (DCC) feature was introduced with the release of OAM 11gR2 --- 11.1.2.0.0. DCC brought some very interesting changes in the authentication model that in my opinion are very welcome; more on that later. There is already Oracle documentation...

Introduction Sometimes, using OSB, it may be necessary to attach credentials, such as username and password, on an outbound SOAP request to a remote server for authentication. While the OWSM policy store available with WebLogic Server provides policies that can inject username and password (e.g. “oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_client_policy”), OSB causes OWSM policies to be enforced on the outbound request message as well as the inbound response. This article will...

An index to the entire series with links to each of the separate posts is available. Logging is extremely helpful when trying to troubleshoot issues and normally when you see instructions to log in OAM 11g there is documentation on using WLST commands with several steps or Enterprise Manager that can be used to set various log levels, but in both cases this...

Introduction Oracle Fusion Applications (FA) uses Oracle Identity Management (IDM) capabilities to implement the “change password” and “forgot password” functions. These functions, in turn, are enabled using capabilities provided by Oracle Access Management (OAM) and Oracle Identity Management (OIM). Frequently, in development and test environments, for the sake of convenience, the change password and forgot password functions are seen as redundant due to the non-production...
