Introduction OIM 11g R2 being such a comprehensive provisioning solution, it provides API’s for almost every aspect of functionality available in the product. This makes it a little difficult to decide which examples are needed the most in the documentation. Fortunately, the documentation does supply samples that can definitely serve as a foundation for more complex pieces of code. Some of the API’s I found developers using more often than others are the ones related to the...

Introduction A common requirement in an OIM implementation is to not expose OIM user interface to all types of end users. To address this requirement, usually a custom application using OIM APIs is developed and deployed. Such application will expose specific OIM functionalities to end users. In most of the cases, customers want the custom application/OIM APIs to act as the end user, and not as a service account; this approach leverages OIM security model, and the actions...

Introduction OIM 11g R2 provides OIM Developers with the means to implement very sophisticated and functional rich customization to the Out-of-the-Box User Interface. These customizations are capable of surviving the installation of patches, which means that when the OIM installation is patched, the UI customizations don’t have to be re-applied. The customizations are stored as metatada in MDS (Meta Data Store), and it is applied on top of the standard user interface at...

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>...
