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)...

Introduction Last week I gave an introduction into the Fusion Middleware Security in Fusion Applications. This week I’d like to expand on that introduction to talk specifically, but still at a high level, about how the the Oracle IDM products fit in Fusion Apps. To review, here I’m talking specifically about OID, OVD, OAM, OIM, and optionally OIF. Main Article Active Participants If you are going to take anything away from what I have written or will write about Fusion Apps...

Since the first OIM 11g release, one of the frequently asked questions about OIM 11g is: Should I configure OIM with LDAP synchronization or should I deploy a LDAP connector? Since earlier versions, OIM provides connectors for the most popular LDAP systems: Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Oracle Directory Server EE (formerly Sun Java Directory/iPlanet), Novell eDirectory and Microsoft Active Directory (AD). With OIM 11g, a new feature called LDAP synchronization was...
