Starting the Environment For OID Configuration

Connect with the OID Operating System User to check the Profile Option set for the OID Environment.

[oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cat .bash_profile

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ];

then . ~/.bashrc fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

export MW_HOME=/u02/app/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home

export ORACLE_COMMON_HOME=$MW_HOME/oracle_common

export ORACLE_HOME=$MW_HOME/oid

export WL_HOME=$MW_HOME/wlserver

export JAVA_HOME=/u02/jdk1.8.0_361/

export DOMAIN_HOME=$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain

 

Next we will untar the JDK

[oidmgr@oidserver u02]$ tar -xvzf jdk-8u361-linux-x64.tar.gz

[oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd /u02/jdk1.8.0_361/bin

1. Start the Administration Server and Node Manager

[oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ . ./oid_env.env [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ nohup ./startWebLogic.sh & [1] 6503

Check the nohup.out to check and make sure the Admin Server Process in Running Mode

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ tail -20 nohup.out

[oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ nohup ./startNodeManager.sh &

[2] 7630

Check the nohup.out to check and make sure the Node Manager Process in Running Mode

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ tail -20 nohup.out

2. Initial Oracle Internet Directory(OID) Setup

Connect with Weblogic Scripting Tool for initial setup up of OID Instance

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ ./wlst.sh

WARNING: This is a deprecated script. Please invoke the wlst.sh script under oracle_common/common/bin. Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) … Welcome to WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell Type help() for help on available commands

wls:/offline> connect (‘weblogic’,’oracle123′,’t3://oidserver.com:7001′)

wls:/base_domain/serverConfig/> oid_setup(orcladminPassword=’oracle123′, odsPassword=’oracle123′, realmDN=’dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com’)

This will start the oid instance automatically

3. Starting Managed Server (wls_ods1)

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin

[oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ ./startManagedWebLogic.sh wls_ods1

When prompted for username/password to Boot Weblogic

Wait for the process of Managed Server being started and status shows RUNNING

4. Access Weblogic Console

Login the Weblogic Console to check the Status

http://oidserver.com:7001/console/login/LoginForm.jsp

 

Check the Server Status As you can see our wls_ods1 Manage Server is running.

5. Access Oracle Directory Service Manager(ODSM) Console

Open the ODSM Console For Creating Login Connection http://oidserver.com:7001/odsm/faces/odsm.jspx
Click Connect to a directory Now Click Create a New Connection

Fill the Connection information as Below

•Name: oid1 (We can give any name )

•Server: oidserver.com

•Port : 3060

•Username: cn=orcladmin

•Password: Oracle_123

Logged in  Page of ODSM

6. Access Enterprise Manager(EM) Console

Access WebLogic Server EM Console

http://oidserver.com:7001/em

 

Note:We Faced issue while logging into EM Console, it was continuously trying to reload the page and in the end, it ends up with Error.jsp Download the Following 2 Patches and Copy the downloaded patches on /home/oidmgr/* directory and Unzip Patch Patch 33903365 Patch 30613425

Environment should be down for apply this patch

Unzip the Download Patches [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd /home/oidmgr/30613424/ [oidmgr@oidserver 30613424]$ unzip p30613424_122140_Generic.zip [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd /home/oidmgr/33903365/ [oidmgr@oidserver 33903365]$ unzip p33903365_122140_Generic.zip Set the Environment for Patching [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u02/app/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ opatch version OPatch Version: 13.9.4.2.1 OPatch succeeded. Validate the OUI inventory with the following commands: [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ opatch lsinventory -jre $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/jdk/jre Applying Patch 30613424 [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd 30613424/30613424 [oidmgr@oidserver 30613424]$ opatch apply Applying Patch 33903365 [oidmgr@oidserver 30613424]$ cd /home/oidmgr/33903365/33903365 [oidmgr@oidserver 33903365]$ opatch apply

Configuring the Weblogic Domain

 

  • To configure the Weblogic Domain, execute the script ‘$ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/config.sh.   
  • On the first screen choose to CREATE A NEW DOMAIN and select the location for the domain creation. 
  • Oracle recommends separating the core Applications (Oracle Home) from the Configuration, so in this case we are storing the target Domain under the <PATH_TO_DOMAIN> directory.
  • [oidmgr@oidserver ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
  • [oidmgr@oidserver bin]$ ./config.sh

Enter the Domain Location

Selecting this template automatically selects the following as dependencies:

  • Oracle Internet Directory (Collocated) -12.2.1.3.0 [oid]
  • Oracle Directory Services Manager -12.2.1.3.0 [oid]
  • Oracle JRF -12.2.1.3.0 [oracle_common]

ISSUE 1 (If Installing OID on OEL/RHEL 8)

If you are installing the OID 12.2.1.4 on Oracle Enterprise Linux(OEL) 8.x, you might face this issue as shown in below Snapshot while running the Installer. If you are installing it on below OEL 8.x  then run the Installer directly /u02/oid/fmw_12.2.1.4.0_oid_linux64.bin 

For resolving issue

Installation of Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4.0 Distributions on Red Hat Linux or Oracle Linux Version 8 Fail Checking EL7 Package Requirements (Doc ID 2652061.1)

  1. Make sure that all other OL/EL8 required Operating System packages are installed. Reference: 12.2.1.4 Fusion Middleware Requirements Guide
  2. Download Patch 31190532 and follow the README instructions to install the Oracle Fusion Middleware Distribution.
  3. Optional: If one plans to use $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver/server/native/linux/x86_64/libwlenv.so

Select Skip Auto Updates Click Next
For the COLLOCATED Installation Type, select the same ORACLE HOME the Infrastructure installation created

Standalone Mode:

If you do not require Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW) Infrastructure and just wish to install Oracle Internet Directory, then it is referred to as Standalone Mode. In this mode, OID and DIP must be managed via the command line and not the GUI interface Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM) or Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (EM FMWc) associated with the FMW Infrastructure. The FMW Infrastructure also includes a full WebLogic Server, ADF, OPSS, and other components, generally not required for an LDAP server.  The advantage of OID Standalone may be to provide a database and LDAP server to many applications from a separately secured server with a minimal footprint.

Collocated Mode:

If you require Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle Internet Directory, then it is referred to as Collocated Mode.  In this case install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12c (12.2.1.4.0) first, followed by the Oracle Internet Directory 12c (12.2.1.4). Both Infrastructure and Oracle Internet Directory must be installed in the same Oracle Home, hence the collocated terminology.

 Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution provides Weblogic Server, ADF Runtime, and advanced features such as OPSS and Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control (EM FMWc) along with supporting Metadata Repository schemas and configuration of Oracle Directory Services Manager (ODSM). The FMW Infrastructure is a prerequisite for all other FMW products, except those that offer a standalone option (e.g. Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Internet Directory).
