Introduction In a previous post Chris Johnson has discussed unsolicited login with OAM 11g. In OAM 11gR2 this functionality is supported out of the box and with little effort you can implement Unsolicited Login. 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 Main Article The complete procedure is explained in the official documentation...

I recently created an iOS application using the OAM Mobile and Social SDK for iOS and got an error in my debugger output window: 2012-12-05 19:06:38.038 PiggyBank[24799:1303] -[__NSCFString OMJSONValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xb2be000 This error appeared after the Application Profile was downloaded and I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. Turns out I'd forgotten one step after adding the SDK bits to the XCode project - I had forgot to add the linker...

Introduction One of the features in the new 11G R2 (or 11.1.2) release of Oracle Access Manager that's been most eagerly anticipated is the support for password policy within the OAM product; that is, the ability for OAM itself to support a subset of password management processes without the need to use Oracle Identity Manager and LDAP Sync. In this post, I'd like to explore this functionality in a little more detail and also explore exactly which use cases are supported.This...

If you read my post on Upstart a while ago you know that I'm a fan of Upstart. But I hadn't sat down to redo my old (and crummy) OID/OVD start scripts to use Upstart until this week partly because "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but partly because who the heck has time?! This week I needed to create a new environment to put together a demo of the Mobile side of OAM Mobile and Social and thought I'd take a few minutes to fix that. It didn't take all that long. Here's my...

Introduction Recently a customer asked me how to import his private key and certificate into an Oracle HTTP Server Wallet. The customer generated a CSR outside the OHS Wallet Manager, using Open SSL, and sent it to a CA to get his certificates issued by them. Unfortunately, the Wallet Manager only allows you to import certificates which were created for a CSR generated by the Wallet itself. Despite this minor limitation, there is a workaround to get your private key,...

Introduction Over the past few weeks I've been involved in several performance tuning exercises involving OAM and OVD. I thought it would be helpful if I created a post sharing the process I used to analyze and improve performance in OVD and OAM. In this scenario the JVM is HotSpot. The Scenario The scenario our customer's are seeing are authentication failures in OAM. Looking at the OAM logs we have the following: <Oct 16, 2012 11:12:56 AM MDT> <Warning>...

Introduction As many of you know, last year we created indexes of posts on OAM and OIM 11g R2 that we call OAM 11g Academy and OIM 11g Academy. These indexes contain the articles we’ve written that we believe provide long lasting guidance on OAM and OIM. Posts covered in these series include articles on key aspects of OAM and OIM 11g, best practice architectural guidance, integrations, and customizations. Main Article It is our hope that these series will prove valuable to...

Introduction Today I’d like to discuss a very important topic which is patch management in an Oracle IDM/IAM deployment. Patching seems like a pretty basic topic. It is often taken for granted. However, experience has shown me that patching is a frequent source of confusion for many enterprise software customers including those deploying the Oracle Identity Management stack. So, I thought I’d address some common questions / topics related to patching so that people have a...

This is a follow-up to one of my previous posts titled Integrating OBIEE 11g into Weblogic’s SAML SSO, where I mention the following when configuring the Service Provider: “The Published Site URL field value is the base URL for federation services on the server. For SAML2, make sure the webcontext path is saml2. This is going to be used in the metadata file as the prefix to build the ACS (Assertion Consumer Service) endpoint necessary for allowing an Identity Provider to...
