Installing Oracle Identity and Access Management product suite (11.1.2.x)

In my blog about Identity and Access Management i explained about what is IDM at a high level. There are several vendors which provides products for IDM implementation. The latest
on-premise offering (as of today) is 11.1.2.3.0 which is 3rd patchset release of Oracle Identity and access Management. Before using this let's go through the high level steps to install and configure it.

Prerequisite: Ensure that you have an Oracle Database installed on your system before installing Oracle Identity and Access Management. The database must be up and running to install the relevant Oracle Identity and Access Management components.

Also please go through the Read Me info for Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 before proceeding with installation

Here are the high level steps -
1) Run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create and load the appropriate schemas
2) Install Weblogic server and create Middleware Home
3) Install Oracle Identity and Access Management from IDM shiphome suite
4) Confiure IDM Suite and create domain
5) Configure Security Store
6) Start servers and Verify product consoles (WLS/EM/OAM) are reachable

In this blog i have downloaded the required installation files from -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/id-mgmt/downloads/oid-11gr2-2104316.html
on my Linux x86_64 machine

rcu	/scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/rcuHome.zip
Weblogic Installation	/scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/wls1036_linux32.bin
IDM suite	/scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/iamsuite1.zip /scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/iamsuite2.zip /scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/iamsuite3.zip

Let's deal with them in detail -

1) Run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create and load the appropriate schemas

a) Copy the appropriate rcuHome.zip  to <dir> with plenty of space.
 # unzip rcuHome.zip -d /scratch/gaurasha/rcuHome

b) Run the rcu utility
# cd /scratch/gaurasha/rcuHome/bin
# ./rcu

c) Select Create

Provide your database details -


Create a new prefix e.g DEV and select the required component you wish to install e.g
Oracle Acccess Manager. Dependencies will be automatically selected.



Click Next


choose a password


Click Next. This should create and load the required schemas for Oracle IDM products into your database.

2) Install Weblogic server and create Middleware Home

a. Execute the WLS installation (install the appropriate version for your platform)

# cd /scratch/gaurasha/idmr2ps3-artifacts/

# ./wls1036_linux32.bin

b. Choose a new Oracle Middleware home 

c. Click Next -> choose Typical installation 

This should install WLS server along with jdk in the selected middleware location. 

3) Install Oracle Identity and Access Management from IDM shiphome suite

a. Unzip IDM Suite zip files to a location with plenty of space

# mkdir /scratch/idm

# cd /ade_autofs/gd17_fmw/IDM_11.1.2.2.0_GENERIC.rdd/140103.0922/idm/shiphome/
# unzip iamsuite1.zip -d /scratch/idm
# unzip iamsuite2.zip -d /scratch/idm
# unzip iamsuite3.zip -d /scratch/idm
# cd /scratch/idm/iamsuite/Disk1

b. Run the IDM Installation prog (make sure you specify the correct path for Java JDK)./runInstaller -jreLoc /scratch/gaurasha/middleware/jdk160_29

c. For first time installations you may need to specify inventory directory location

You can choose to skip software updates.

Click Next

Provide location of Middleware home and click Next

Click Install to complete Installation

4) Configure IDM and create domain

b. Create a new Weblogic domain

Select -> Oracle Access Management and Mobile security Suite and click Next

Provide domain name

Provide password for OAM admin console e.g welcome1

Click Next

Configure JDBC Component Schema: Password: welcome1

Test JDBC component schema and click Next

Domain creation should succeed.

5) Configure Security Stores

Prior to starting the admin server, make sure to execute the following command (default OPSS_SCHEMA_PASSWORD is welcome1)

# cd /scratch/gaurasha/middleware/oracle_common/common/bin

Execute following command
# sh wlst.sh /scratch/gaurasha/middleware/Oracle_IDM1/common/tools/configureSecurityStore.py -d /scratch/gaurasha/middleware/user_projects/domains/idm_domain -c IAM -m create -p welcome1

Here 

/scratch/gaurasha/middleware/user_projects/domains/idm_domain is domain path
created in step 4

6) Start servers and verify Installation

# cd /scratch/gaurasha/middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin

# sh startWeblogic.sh
# sh startManagedWebLogic.sh oam_server1 http://localhost:7001

Go to following URLs to verify the product consoles are reachable:

OAM Console - http://host:7001/oamconsole
Enterprise Manager console - http://host:7001/em 

Weblogic Admin console - http://host:7001/console
