Do I Need the Oracle Delegated Administration Services or the Oracle Directory Integration Platform Components?
4-6 Oracle Application Server Installation Guide
Integration Platform against the same OracleAS Metadata Repository. If you want
to configure more than one Oracle Internet Directory against the same OracleAS
Metadata Repository, see the Oracle Internet Directory Administrator’s Guide.
■
You must select at least one component to configure. Otherwise the installation
will not succeed.
■
If you configure OracleAS Single Sign-On and Oracle Delegated Administration
Services in separate installations against the same Oracle Internet Directory, make
sure you configure OracleAS Single Sign-On before Oracle Delegated
Administration Services. This is because Oracle Delegated Administration Services
depends on mod_osso, which will not be set up during installation unless the
Oracle Internet Directory it points to already has OracleAS Single Sign-On
configured.
■
If you have an Oracle Identity Management installation that includes Oracle
Directory Integration Platform but does not include Oracle Internet Directory, you
will still see an Oracle Internet Directory process in the opmnctl status
output. This is because oidmon must be installed and started in order to start the
Oracle Directory Integration Platform process.
4.6 Do I Need the Oracle Delegated Administration Services or the Oracle
Directory Integration Platform Components?
These components are optional, but you might want to install them because they
provide the following services:
■
Oracle Delegated Administration Services provide a browser-based interface to
Oracle Internet Directory. Users can use the interface to perform tasks such as
changing their passwords, searching for other users in the directory, and creating
groups. Users can even create additional users (if they have the proper privilege).
■
Oracle Directory Integration Platform enables you to integrate applications and
third-party LDAP directories with Oracle Internet Directory. You can use Oracle
Directory Integration Platform to synchronize data in all directories, and to send
notifications to applications when data in Oracle Internet Directory changes (for
example, when you add users or groups to Oracle Internet Directory).
4.7 Can I Configure Components After Installation?
If you did not configure a component during installation (that is, you did not select the
component in the Select Configuration Options screen), you can configure some
components after installation.
You cannot configure Oracle Internet Directory after installation. You need to install
and configure Oracle Internet Directory through the installer.
See Section 11.7, "Component Configuration After Installation" for details.
4.8 Can I Use an Existing Database for the OracleAS Metadata
Repository?
You can install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in a new database, or in an existing
database.
If you want to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an existing database, see
Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant User’s Guide for details.
