23.2 Preparing to Install Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager

Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager requires Oracle HTTP Server 11g (11.1.1.2.0 or 11.1.1.3.0), which is included in the Oracle Web Tier 11g Installer.

You must run the Oracle Web Tier 11g Installer to install Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.2.0 and create an Oracle Home for Oracle Web Tier under a Middleware Home. If you have an existing Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.3.0 installation, which you patched from Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.2.0, you can use the same Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.3.0 installation.

In addition, if you are using the Linux or Solaris operating system, you must install third-party GCC libraries on your machine before installing Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager.

This section discusses the following topics:

23.2.1 Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations document provides certification information for Oracle Fusion Middleware, including supported installation types, platforms, operating systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products related to Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1).

You can access the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations document by searching the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) web site:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

23.2.2 Installing and Configuring OAM 11g

For information about installing Oracle Access Manager (OAM), see Installing the Oracle Identity Management 11g Software. For information about configuring Oracle Access Manager in a new or existing WebLogic administration domain, see Configuring Oracle Access Manager (OAM).

In addition, see the "Securing Communication Between OAM 11g Servers and WebGates" topic in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Manager for information about configuring Oracle Access Manager in Open, Simple, or Cert mode.

23.2.3 Installing and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server 11g (11.1.1.2.0 or 11.1.1.3.0)

Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager is supported on both Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.2.0 and Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.3.0. Therefore, if you have an existing Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.3.0 installation, you do not need to install or patch any new version of Oracle HTTP Server.

If you wish to install Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.2.0, which is included in the Oracle Web Tier 11g Installer, you must download the Oracle Web Tier 11g (11.1.1.2.0) Installer from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/fmw_11_download.html

Alternatively, you can download the latest Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g software from the following website:

http://edelivery.oracle.com/

Note:

For information about installing and configuring Oracle HTTP Server 11g (11.1.1.2.0), see the "Installing Oracle Web Tier" topic in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier. For information about patching Oracle HTTP Server 11.1.1.2.0 to 11.1.1.3.0 using the Patch Set Installer, see the "Applying the Latest Oracle Fusion Middleware Patch Set" topic in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide.

After you install and configure Oracle HTTP Server, a working instance of Oracle HTTP Server is configured in an Instance Home.

23.2.4 Installing Third-Party GCC Libraries (Linux and Solaris Operating Systems Only)

If you are installing Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager on a Linux or Solaris operating system, you must download and install third-party GCC libraries on your machine. See Table 23-2 for more information.

You can download the appropriate GCC library from the following third-party website:

http://gcc.gnu.org/

Note:

You must download sources from this website and compile them to obtain the GCC libraries.

For some operating systems, the required libraries may be available as installable packages from the support websites of operating system vendors.

23.2.5 Prerequisites for 64-Bit Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgates on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 64-Bit Platforms

If you are using Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 64-bit operating systems, you must install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 libraries on the machine hosting the Oracle HTTP Server 11g Webgate for Oracle Access Manager.

These libraries are included in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64), which can be downloaded from the following website:
