Introduction Systematic monitoring of OIM deployments helps to reduce risk of both technical and security related issues. It also can help to avoid performance degradation that can happen because of data growth over time. This post presents a set of topics about OIM and WebLogic monitoring, and it presents tools that can be used for both monitoring and diagnostic.This list is not intended to replace any official product documentation, instead, it should be used in conjunction...

For obvious reasons, there is a high demand for Multi-Data Center (MDC) topology; which is now supported in Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11g. This post discusses some of the features of MDC as well as provide some detail steps on how to clone a secondary data center. This post is based on R2PS1 code base. With PS2 there are some new features I will cover below. Here is the PS2 document library for reference. Main Article Here is an conceptual topology for an MDC...

Introduction In a previous post, we discussed some of the complications that can occur when a firewall is placed between WebGates and OAM Servers in a typical deployment. This post follows on from that discussion, to explore an analogous topic- firewalls between the OAM Server and the LDAP Identity Store. 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...

Introduction It is common to receive permission errors in the capture/extract process of Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) running on Microsoft Windows servers with Oracle Database. The capture process reads the Oracle redo and archive logs to find the committed transactions. When an Oracle Database is installed on Windows servers, the redo logs and the archive log directory are created in protected mode, and a standard user will not have permission to read them. To circumvent this...

Introduction Recently, I was helping a customer in an OIM project go live when we ran an “Active Directory User Target Recon Job” with an AD Connector (11.1.1.6) and a regular expression filter to select just a subset of users. Main Article To our surprise, every time we executed the job, we got a strange error: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/ArrayUtil, method: createArray signature: ()[Ljava/lang/Object;) Illegal type in constant pool. This...

Introduction In this post, we investigate a complication that can occur if you require a firewall between your WebGate agents and your OAM 11g servers within your deployment topology. We provide some guidance related to how to configure your WebGates in this case. 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 problem we are trying...

Introduction Occasionally, it is necessary to make changes to OAM 11g configuration by directly updating the oam-config,xml file, rather than using the OAM console. In this post, we describe the correct way to make changes to this file. 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. Editing oam-config.xml Correctly making durable edits...

Introduction You have deployed Oracle BPM and decided to run some load tests against it. You're concerned, among other things, about the behavior of your backend LDAP server under peak times, whether it's going to be able to handle the load or not. You check the security providers settings in Weblogic Server and see you have an LDAP Authenticator (or some specialization, like OVD Authenticator, for instance) with an ldap pool size set to 50 connections. But your test reveals...

Introduction When installing or upgrading Fusion Applications, it is necessary to validate the security components to ensure that they are functioning correctly. This article provides a list of tasks that can be performed to accomplish this. The order of tasks below follow the dependency that the components have on each other so that if a fault is found the problematic component can be more easily identified. Prior to beginning validation, the components should be started...
