Location of Log Files for Components in the Oracle Delegated Administration Services Environment

Table 30-1 tells you where to find the log files for components in the Oracle Delegated Administration Services environment.

Table 30-1 Log Files for Components In Oracle Delegated Administration Services Environment

Application	Log File Location
Oracle HTTP Server	$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs
Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)	$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_SECURITY/log
Oracle Delegated Administration Services	$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/log/das.log
Oracle Process Manager (OPMN)	$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs

Task 1: Install Oracle Delegated Administration Services

Oracle Delegated Administration Services is installed as part of Oracle Internet Directory 10g (9.0.4).

Note: During installation,Oracle Delegated Administration Services is deployed in the OC4J_SECURITY instance. Because most of the Oracle Delegated Administration Services setup depends on this instance, its important that the name of this instance not be changed.

Task 2: Verify that Oracle Delegated Administration Services Is Running

To verify that Oracle Delegated Administration Services is running, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify that the Oracle HTTP Server Is Running

To do this, use the following command:

ps -ef | grep http

See Also: Table 30-1 to find log file locations for components in the Oracle Delegated Administration Services environment

Step 2: Verify that Java (OC4J JVM) Is Running

Use the following command to do this:

ps -ef | grep java

Be sure that the Java process is running. If it is not, then consult the log file.

See Also: Table 30-1 for the location of the log file

Step 3: Verify that the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On Server Is Running

Using any browser, enter:

http://host_name:port_number/orasso/

where host_name is the name of the computer on which the Oracle HTTP Server is running, and port_number is the corresponding port number. The default port number of the Oracle HTTP Server is 7777. Try to log in by using the Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On login window.

Step 4: Verify that Oracle Delegated Administration Services Is Running

Using any browser, enter:

http://host_name:port_number/oiddas/

where host_name is the name of the computer on which the Oracle HTTP Server is running, and port_number is the corresponding port number. The default port number of the Oracle HTTP Server is 7777. This displays the Oracle Delegated Administration Services home page.

Alternatively, you can verify that Oracle Delegated Administration Services is running by using the Enterprise Manager Web site. To do this:

1. On the Enterprise Manager Web site, navigate to the Instance Home Page, and scroll to the System Components section.

2. In the Name column, select OC4J_SECURITY. The home page for the component displays the status of Oracle Delegated Administration Services.

If Oracle Delegated Administration Services is not running, then start it by following the instructions in "Starting and Stopping Oracle Delegated Administration Services".

Task 3: Configure the Default Identity Management Realm

To do this, follow the instructions in the section "Configuring an Identity Management Realm by Using the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console".

Task 4: Configure User Entries

To do this, follow the instructions in the section Configuring User Entries by Using the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service Console.

Task 5: Enable Debugging of Oracle Delegated Administration Services

To enable or disable debugging of Oracle Delegated Administration Services, you modify the file $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/das/das.properties. Separate the values by using the vertical bar (|). After modifying this file, restart the Oracle Delegated Administration Services instance. Table 30-2 lists the default and possible values for the debug arguments.

Table 30-2  DAS.PROPERTIES File Debug Arguments

Flag	Default Value	Possible Values
DEBUG	FALSE	TRUE FALSE
DEBUG_LEVEL	none	ERROR SCHEMA TRACING SESSION

The DEBUG_LEVEL is interpreted only if the DEBUG flag is set to TRUE. TRACING is meant only for debugging purposes.
