Introduction Complexity and delay can occur during deployments of Oracle Identity and Access Management products (including the IDM build out for Fusion Apps) due to the fact that certain tasks required for the build out can sometimes only be performed by individuals that are not a part of the core team doing the deployment. Main Article In many organizations IT responsibilities are very siloed. Some tasks during an IAM deployment may require assistance from individuals that...

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 an earlier post I talked about how cookies work when you're using OAM 11g server with OAM 11g WebGates. But the OAM 11g server also works with OAM 10g WebGates and there are reasons you'd deploy 10g WebGates today. But OAM 11g and 10g have fundamentally different behavior...

Introduction In my last post I listed all of the architectural decisions that you’ll want to work through before diving into an IDM build out for Fusion Apps. In this post, I’d like to take things one step further and put forth a checklist of tasks that you’ll want to accomplish before beginning the actual (onsite) build out. Main Article Failure to complete these items before the build out will turn what is already a fairly long and intensive process into a longer and...

Introduction Today I am kicking of a series of posts on planning an Oracle IDM build out for Fusion Apps. I will start by discussing a bunch of topics that should be discussed and worked through before you move forward with an IDM build out for FA. I will then continue the series with a pre-install checklist and discussion of supporting characters that will need to participate in the install. So, with that in mind I’ll dive right in to the topics for discussion: Main Article...

I was on the phone with someone earlier today and mentioned in passing that I only need to run a simple script to turn debug logging on and off in my little test environment. The silence on the other end of the line told me either he didn't believe me or didn't realize how easy it is to do this sort of thing. So here it is - enableOAMLogging.py #!/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IAM1/common/bin/wlst.sh connect('weblogic', 'ABcd1234',...

I recently had to revisit the subject of SSL offloading and WebLogic server to include the ability to do client certificate authentication. I was specifically doing this for use with Oracle Access Manager 11g, but the configuration steps are identical whether you are using OAM or just WebLogic. Just to redraw the diagram so we're all on the same page, this is what a real environment with OAM in it might look like: Note that I put "Apache" in front of the OAM server. That...

Introduction In my last post, I discussed the reference architecture for the Identity and Access Management build out of Fusion Apps.The reference architecture is pretty complex in that it is completely HA, separates all the IDM services into 3 tiers for maximum network security, and separate many of the services onto different physical nodes to account for load separation for high volume production environments.There are reasons one might want to simplify this for...

Introduction As I’ve talked about in my last couple posts (here and here), Fusion Apps relies on an Oracle Identity and Access Management platform which must be created through a prescribed build out of Oracle’s IAM stack. The guide for the build out is the Enterprise Deployment Guide for Identity Management (Fusion Apps Edition), which we will refer to now simply as the ‘EDG’ for short. The first chapter of the EDG includes a good diagram and description of Oracle’s...

Introduction Logging in a custom plug-in written for OAM Main Article I've been playing around with the OAM plug-in API and working on putting together a very simple JDeveloper project that includes a custom login form and an OAM plug-in that demonstrates the basics of using the interface. I'm going to get that blog post out eventually, but for right now I need to talk about logging inside your plug-in. OAM uses the Java Logger (java.util.logging.Logger and related classes)...
