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...

Introduction I've recently came across a question in one of our internal mailing lists where a person was under the impression that he would have to write code to propagate the identity when making a web service call using OWSM policies. My answer was something like: "depending on the type of your client you may have to write some very small piece of code to attach a policy, but you should not write code at all to either retrieve the executing client identity or to do the...

Introduction If you have a need to use 2 way SSL between a SOA composite and external partner links, you can follow these steps. Create the identity keystores, trust keystores, and server certificates. Setup keystores and SSL on WebLogic Setup server to use 2 way SSL Configure your SOA composite's partner link to use 2 way SSL Configure SOA engine two ways SSL In this case, I used SOA and OSB for the test. I started with separate OSB and SOA domains. I deployed two soap based...

Introduction This post shows how OIM catalog can be customized by using OIM UI capabilities such as managed beans and EL expressions. The post first describes the use case and the solution to address the use case; then it describes the solution details as well as provides links to the artifacts. Main Article In order to have a better understanding of the customization described in this post, one should read the posts about the catalog and about the OIM UI customization. Use...

Introduction OIM 11g R2 new user interface is probably one of the most expected new features of this release. The main reason for that is the great customization capability provided by the underlying technologies: Oracle ADF and Oracle WebCenter Composer. OIM user interface customizations are easier now, and they 'survive' patch applications (there is no need to reapply them after patching). Adding new artifacts, new skins, and 'plugging' code directly into the user...

Introduction The Catalog is one of most commented new features in OIM 11g. It introduces a new way to search items and to create access requests and it also introduces the ‘shopping cart’ experience. Main Article The request process was drastically simplified with the Catalog. Whereas in OIM 11g R1 users have to go through a multiple step wizard to create a request, in OIM 11g R2 the work is done in two pages: the catalog search and the shopping cart summary. End users use...
