Fusion Applications: Extending the Domain with Oracle Virtual Directory

In my previous post, ODSM was configured to manage OID. In the post I will describe the steps you need to take to configure Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) and create a connection in ODSM to manage OVD.

Oracle Virtual Directory is an LDAP version 3 enabled service that provides virtualized abstraction of one or more enterprise data sources into a single directory view. Oracle Virtual Directory provides the ability to integrate LDAP-aware applications into diverse directory environments while minimizing or eliminating the need to change either the infrastructure or the applications. Oracle Virtual Directory supports a diverse set of clients, such as Web Applications and portals, and it can connect to directories, databases and Web Services.

Fusion Applications: Extending the Domain with Oracle Directory Service Manager (ODSM)

In my previous post I described the steps to configure Oracle Internet Directory. In this post I will describe the steps you need to take to configure Oracle Directory Service Manager (ODSM). ODSM is a java application that runs as a Managed Server on Weblogic and it's purpose is to manage Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory.

PeopleTools and Oracle 11g installation issues

Until now I was used to installing PeopleSoft on SQLServer 2005/2008 or Oracle 9i/10g. For this particular installation, PeopleTools 8.51 on a Unicode Oracle 11g database, I ran into two issues I never ran into before. Luckily fixes were easy, but finding a solution usually takes a lot of time.

Fusion Applications: Extending the Domain with Oracle Internet Directory

In my previous post I created the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console and Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. In this post I will configure Oracle Identity Directory (OID) and extend this domain with OID. Furthermore I will seed the Identity Store and Policy Store with data to be used by Oracle Access Manager.

Fusion Applications: Creating the WebLogic Server Domain for Identity Management

In my previous post I had configure Oracle HTTP server and an Apache LoadBalancer to handle all HTTP(s) traphic for IDM. In this post I will create the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console and Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. Later on we will extend this domain by adding Oracle Fusion Middleware components such as Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle Access Manager. Furthermore in this post we will configure Oracle HTTP server to handle HTTP(s) traphic for the Administration Server and Enterprise Manager through the loadbalancer.

Fusion Applications: Configuring the Web Tier

In my previous post, I installed the components for IDM. In this post I will describe the steps to configure Oracle Web Tier.

Oracle Web Tier comprises of two components:

• Oracle Web Cache

A content-aware server accelerator, secure reverse proxy server that improves the performance, scalability, and availability of web sites

•  Oracle HTTP Server

Apache based web server that provides a HTTP listener for Oracle WebLogic Server and the framework for hosting static pages, dynamic pages, and applications over the web and includes all base Apache modules and modules developed specifically by Oracle.

In this post we will configure Oracle HTTP Server.
