11 Integration With Oracle Identity Management

This chapter describes how to integrate Oracle SOA Suite with Oracle Identity Management. It contains the following sections:

11.1 Credential and Policy Store Configuration

The following topics describe credential and policy store configuration in detail:

11.1.1 Overview of Credential and Policy Store Configuration

Oracle Fusion Middleware allows using different types of credential and policy stores in a WebLogic domain. Domains can use stores based on an XML file or on different types of LDAP providers. When a domain uses an LDAP store, all policy and credential data is kept and maintained in a centralized store. However, when using XML policy stores, the changes made on Managed Servers are not propagated to the Administration Server unless they use the same domain home. The Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite Enterprise Deployment topology uses different domain homes for the Administration Server and the Managed Server, thus Oracle requires the use of an LDAP store as policy and credential store for integrity and consistency. By default Oracle WebLogic Server domains use an XML file for the policy store. The following sections describe the steps required to change the default store to Oracle Internet Directory LDAP for credentials or policies.

Note:

The backend repository for the policy store and the credential store must use the same kind of LDAP server. To preserve this coherence, note that reassociating one store implies reassociating the other one, that is, the re-association of both the credential and the policy stores is accomplished as a unit using Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control or the WLST command reassociateSecurityStore. For more information, see Section 11.1.4, "Reassociation of Credentials and Policies."

11.1.2 Credential Store Configuration

A credential store is a repository of security data (credentials). A credential can hold user name and password combinations, tickets, or public key certificates. Credentials are used during authentication, when principals are populated in subjects, and, further, during authorization, when determining what actions the subject can perform. In this section, steps are provided to configure Oracle Internet Directory LDAP as a credential store for the Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite Enterprise Deployment topology. For more details on credential store configuration, refer to the "Configuring the Credential Store" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

The following section describe credential store configuration:

11.1.2.1 Creating the LDAP Authenticator

To be safe, before you create the LDAP authenticator, you should first back up the relevant configuration files:

ORACLE_BASE/admin/<domain_name>/aserver/<domain_name>/config/config.xml
ORACLE_BASE/admin/<domain_name>/aserver/<domain_name>/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml
ORACLE_BASE/admin/<domain_name>/aserver/<domain_name>/config/fmwconfig/system-jazn-data.xml

Also back up the boot.properties file in the ORACLE_BASE/admin/domain_name/aserver/domain_name/servers/AdminServer/security directory for the Administration Server.

To configure the credential store to use LDAP, set the proper authenticator using the WebLogic Server Console:

  1. Log in to the WebLogic Server Console.

  2. Click the Security Realms link on the left navigational bar.

  3. Click the myrealm default realm entry to configure it.

  4. Open the Providers tab within the realm.

  5. Observe that there is a DefaultAuthenticator provider configured for the realm.

  6. Click Lock and Edit.

  7. Click the New button to add a new provider.

  8. Enter a name for the provider such as OIDAuthenticator or OVDAuthenticator depending on whether Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory will be used.

  9. Select the OracleInternetDirectoryAuthenticator or OracleVirtualDirectoryAuthenticator type from the list of authenticators depending on whether Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory will be used.

  10. Click OK.

  11. In the Providers screen, click the newly created Authenticator.

  12. Set the control flag to SUFFICIENT. This indicates that if a user can be authenticated successfully by this authenticator, then it should accept that authentication and should not continue to invoke any additional authenticators. If the authentication fails, it will fall through to the next authenticator in the chain. Make sure all subsequent authenticators also have their control flag set to SUFFICIENT; in particular, check the DefaultAuthenticator and set that to SUFFICIENT.

  13. Click Save to save this setting.

  14. Open the Provider Specific tab to enter the details for the LDAP server.

  15. Enter the details specific to your LDAP server, as shown in the following table:

    Parameter Value Value Description
    Host For example: oid.mycompany.com The LDAP server's server ID.
    Port For example: 636 The LDAP server's port number.
    Principal For example: cn=orcladmin The LDAP user DN used to connect to the LDAP server.
    Credential NA The password used to connect to the LDAP server
    SSL Enabled Checked Specifies whether SSL protocol is used when connecting to LDAP server.
    User Base DN For example: cn=users,dc=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com Specify the DN under which your Users start.
    Group Base DN For example: cn=groups,dc=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com Specify the DN that points to your Groups node.
    Use Retrieved User Name as Principal Checked Must be turned on.

    Click Save when done.

  16. Click Activate Changes to propagate the changes.

11.1.2.1.1 Setting the Order of Providers

Reorder the OID/OVD Authenticator and Default Authenticator and ensure that the control flag for each authenticator is set in the following order:

  1. OID LDAP Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

  2. Default Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

11.1.2.2 Moving the WebLogic Administrator to LDAP

This section provides details for provisioning a new administrator user and group for managing the Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite Enterprise Deployment WebLogic Domain. This section describes the following tasks:

11.1.2.2.1 Provisioning Admin Users and Groups in an LDAP Directory

As mentioned in the introduction to this section, users and groups from multiple WebLogic domains may be provisioned in a central LDAP user store. In such a case, there is a possibility that one WebLogic admin user may have access to all the domains within an enterprise. This is not a desirable situation. To avoid this, the users and groups provisioned must have a unique distinguished name within the directory tree. In this guide, the admin user and group for the SOA Enterprise Deployment WebLogic domain will be provisioned with the DNs below:

  • Admin User DN:

    cn=weblogic_soa,cn=Users,dc=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com
    
  • Admin Group DN:

    cn=SOA Administrators,cn=Groups,dc=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com
    

Follow these steps to provision the admin user and admin group in Oracle Internet Directory:

  1. Create an ldif file named admin_user.ldif with the contents shown below and then save the file:

    dn: cn=weblogic_soa, cn=Users, dc=us, dc=mycompany, dc=com
    orclsamaccountname: weblogic_soa
    givenname: weblogic_soa
    sn: weblogic_soa
    userpassword: Welcome1
    obver: 10.1.4.0
    mail: weblogic_soa
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: person
    objectclass: organizationalPerson
    objectclass: inetorgperson
    objectclass: orcluser
    objectclass: orcluserV2
    objectclass: oblixorgperson
    uid: weblogic_soa
    cn: weblogic_soa
    description: Admin User for the SOA Domain
    
  2. Run the ldapadd command located under the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to provision the user in Oracle Internet Directory.

    Note:

    The ORACLE_HOME used here is the ORACLE_HOME for the Identity Management installation where Oracle Internet Directory resides. The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set for the ldapadd command to succeed.

    For example (the command is shown as two lines in the example below for readability purposes, but you should enter the command on a single line):

    OIDHOST1> ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapadd -h oid.mycompany.com -p 389 -D
    cn="orcladmin" -w welcome1 -c -v -f admin_user.ldif
    
  3. Create an ldif file named admin_group.ldif with the contents shown below and then save the file:

    dn: cn=SOA Administrators, cn=Groups, dc=us, dc=mycompany, dc=com
    displayname: SOA Administrators
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames
    objectclass: orclGroup
    uniquemember: cn=weblogic_soa,cn=users,dc=us,dc=mycompany,dc=com
    cn: SOA Administrators
    description: Administrators Group for the SOA Domain
    
  4. Run the ldapadd command located under the ORACLE_HOME/bin/ directory to provision the group in Oracle Internet Directory (the command is shown as two lines in the example below for readability purposes, but you should enter the command on a single line):

    OIDHOST1> ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapadd -h oid.mycompany.com -p 389 -D
    cn="orcladmin" -w welcome1 -c -v -f admin_group.ldif
    
11.1.2.2.2 Assigning the Admin Role to the Admin Group

After adding the users and groups to Oracle Internet Directory, the group must be assigned the Admin role within the WebLogic domain security realm. This enables all users that belong to the group to be administrators for that domain. Follow these steps to assign the Admin role to the Admin group:

  1. Log into the WebLogic Administration Server Console.

  2. In the left pane of the console, click Security Realms.

  3. On the Summary of Security Realms page, click myrealm under the Realms table.

  4. On the Settings page for myrealm, click the Roles & Policies tab.

  5. On the Realm Roles page, expand the Global Roles entry under the Roles table. This brings up the entry for Roles. Click on the Roles link to bring up the Global Roles page.

  6. On the Global Roles page, click the Admin role to bring up the Edit Global Role page:

    1. On the Edit Global Roles page, under the Role Conditions table, click the Add Conditions button.

    2. On the Choose a Predicate page, select Group from the drop down list for predicates and click Next.

    3. On the Edit Arguments Page, specify SOA Administrators in the Group Argument field and click Add.

  7. Click Finish to return to the Edit Global Rule page.

  8. The Role Conditions table now shows the SOA Administrators Group as an entry.

  9. Click Save to finish adding the Admin Role to the SOA Administrators Group.

  10. Validate that the changes were successful by bringing up the WebLogic Administration Server Console using a web browser. Log in using the credentials for the weblogic_soa user.

    Note:

    Each SOA application has its own predefined roles and groups defined for administration and monitoring. By default, the "Administrator" group allows these operations. However, the "Administrator" group may be too broad. For example, you may not want B2B Administrators to be WebLogic Server Domain Administrators where SOA is running. Therefore, you may wish to create a a more specific group, such as "SOA Administrators." In order for the different applications to allow the SOA Administrator group to administer the different systems, you must add the required roles to the SOA Administrator group. For example, for B2B's Administration, add the B2BAdmin role to the SOA Administrators group, for Worklistapp's administration, add the SOAAdmin role. Refer to each component's specific roles for the required roles in each case.
11.1.2.2.3 Updating the boot.properties File and Restarting the System

The boot.properties file for the Administration Server should be updated with the WebLogic admin user created in Oracle Internet Directory. Follow the steps below to update the boot.properties file:

  1. On SOAHOST1, go the following directory:

    SOAHOST1>cd ORACLE_BASE/admin/domainName/aserver/domainName/servers/
    AdminServer/security
    
  2. Rename the existing boot.properties file:

    SOAHOST1> mv boot.properties boot.properties.backup
    
  3. Use a text editor to create a file called boot.properties under the security directory. Enter the following lines in the file:

    username=weblogic_soa
    password=welcome1
    
  4. Save the file.

  5. Stop the Administration Server:

    SOAHOST1> cd ORACLE_BASE/admin/domainName/aserver/domainName/bin
    SOAHOST1> ./stopWebLogic.sh
    
  6. Start the Administrator Server using the procedure in Section 4.7, "Starting the Administration Server on SOAHOST1."

11.1.2.3 Reassociating the Domain Credential Store

The re-association of both the Credential and the Policy stores is accomplished as a unit using Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control or the WLST command reassociateSecurityStore. See Section 11.1.4, "Reassociation of Credentials and Policies" for detailed steps

11.1.3 Policy Store Configuration

The domain policy store is the repository of system and application-specific policies. In a given domain, there is one store that stores all policies that all applications deployed in the domain may use. This section provides the steps to configure Oracle Internet Directory LDAP as the policy store for the Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite Enterprise Deployment topology. For more details on policy store configuration, refer to the "OPSS Authorization and the Policy Store" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide. Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

11.1.3.1 Prerequisites to Using an LDAP-Based Policy Store

In order to ensure the proper access to an LDAP server directory (Oracle Internet Directory) used as a policy store, you must set a node in the server directory.

An Oracle Internet Directory administrator must follow these steps to create the appropriate node in an Oracle Internet Directory Server:

  1. Create an LDIF file (assumed to be jpstestnode.ldif in this example) specifying the following DN and CN entries:

    dn: cn=jpsroot_soa
    cn: jpsroot_soa
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: OrclContainer
    

    The distinguished name of the root node (illustrated by the string jpsroot_soa above) must be distinct from any other distinguished name. One root node can be shared by multiple WebLogic domains. It is not required that this node be created at the top level, as long as read and write access to the subtree is granted to the Oracle Internet Directory administrator.

  2. Import this data into Oracle Internet Directory server using the command ldapadd, as illustrated in the following example (the command is shown as two lines in the example below for readability purposes, but you should enter the command on a single line):

    OIDHOST1> ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapadd -h ldap_host -p ldap_port -D
    cn=orcladmin -w password -c -v -f jpstestnode.ldif
    
  3. Verify that the node has been successfully inserted using the command ldapsearch, as illustrated in the following example (the command is shown as two lines in the example below for readability purposes, but you should enter the command on a single line):

    OIDHOST1> ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapsearch -h ldap_host -p ldap_port -D
    cn=orcladmin -w password -b "cn=jpsroot_soa" objectclass="orclContainer"
    
  4. When using Oracle internet Directory as the LDAP-Based Policy Store run the utility oidstats.sql in the INFRADBHOSTs to generate database statistics for optimal database performance:

    ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
    

    Enter ODS as a user name. You will be prompted for credentials for the ODS user. Inside sqlplus, enter the command to gather the statistics info:

    SQLPLUS> @ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin/oidstats.sql
    

    The oidstats.sql utility must be run just once after the initial provisioning. For details about this utility, consult the Oracle Fusion Middleware User Reference for Oracle Identity Management.

11.1.3.2 Reassociating the Domain Policy Store

Reassociating the policy store consists in migrating policy data from a file- or LDAP-based repository to an LDAP-based repository, that is, re-association changes the repository preserving the integrity of the data stored. For each policy in the source policy store, re-association searches the target LDAP directory and, if it finds a match, it updates the matching policy as appropriate. If none is found, it simply migrates the policy as is.

At any time, after a domain policy store has been instantiated, a file- or LDAP-based policy store can be reassociated into an LDAP-based policy store storing the same data. To support it, the domain has to be configured, as appropriate, to use an LDAP policy store.

The re-association of both the credential and the policy stores is accomplished as a unit using Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control or the WLST command reassociateSecurityStore. See Section 11.1.4, "Reassociation of Credentials and Policies" for detailed steps.

11.1.4 Reassociation of Credentials and Policies

To reassociate the policy and credential store with Oracle Internet Directory, use the WLST reassociateSecurityStore command. Follow these steps:

  1. From SOAHOST1, start the wlst shell:

    SOAHOST1>cd ORACLE_COMMONHOME/common/bin
    SOAHOST1>./wlst.sh
    
  2. Connect to the WebLogic Administration Server using the wlst connect command shown below:

    Syntax:

    connect('AdminUser',"AdminUserPassword",t3://hostname:port)
    

    For example:

    connect("weblogic","welcome1","t3://ADMINVHN:7001")
    
  3. Run the reassociateSecurityStore command as shown below:

    Syntax:

    reassociateSecurityStore(domain="domainName",admin="cn=orcladmin",
    password="orclPassword",ldapurl="ldap://LDAPHOST:LDAPPORT",servertype="OID",
    jpsroot="cn=jpsroot_soa")
    

    For example:

    wls:/SOAEDGDomain/serverConfig>reassociateSecurityStore(domain="soaedg_domain",
    admin="cn=orcladmin",password="welcome1",ldapurl="ldap://oid.mycompany.com:389",servertype="OID",jpsroot="cn=jpsroot_soa")
    

    The output for the command is shown below:

    {servertype=OID,jpsroot_soa=cn=jpsroot_soa_idm_idmhost1,admin=cn=orcladmin,
    domain=IDMDomain,ldapurl=ldap://oid.mycompany.com:389,password=welcome1}
    Location changed to domainRuntime tree. This is a read-only tree with
    DomainMBean as the root.
    
    For more help, use help(domainRuntime)
    
    Starting Policy Store reassociation.
    LDAP server and  ServiceConfigurator setup done.
    
    Schema is seeded into LDAP server
    Data is migrated to LDAP server

    Credential Store reassociation done
    Jps Configuration has been changed. Please restart the server.
    
  4. Restart the Administration Server after the command completes successfully.

    To restart the Administration Server, use the procedure in Section 4.7, "Starting the Administration Server on SOAHOST1."

    Note:

    For credential and policy changes to take effect, the servers in the domain must be restarted.

11.1.4.1 Cataloging Oracle Internet Directory Attributes

An Oracle Internet Directory attribute used in a search filter must be indexed. The indexing is an optional procedure used to enhance performance. If not done yet in this OID, use the catalog tool to index attributes:

catalog connect="orcl" add=true attribute="orclrolescope" verbose="true"

Optionally, the attribute names can be placed in a file and processed in a batch as follows:

orclrolescope
orclassignedroles
orclApplicationCommonName
orclAppFullName
orclCSFAlias
orclCSFKey
orclCSFName
orclCSFDBUrl
orclCSFDBPort
orclCSFCredentialType
orclCSFExpiryTime
modifytimestamp
createtimestamp
orcljpsassignee

For more information on indexing OID attributes, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Reference for Oracle Identity Management.

11.2 Oracle Access Manager 10g Integration

This section describes how to set up Oracle Access Manager 10g as the single sign-on solution for the Oracle SOA Suite Enterprise Deployment topology.

This section contains the following Topics:

11.2.1 Overview of Oracle Access Manager Integration

Oracle Access Manager (OAM) is the recommended single sign-on solution for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1. For more information on installing and configuring an OAM installation, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management. This chapter explains the procedure for configuring the SOA installation with an existing OAM installation and the underlying directory service. Oracle recommends using either Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) or both of these directory services.

Note:

The SOA Enterprise Deployment topology described in this book uses a Single Sign-On configuration where both the SOA System and the Single Sign-On System are in the same network domain (mycompany.com) For a multi-domain configuration, please refer to the required configuration steps in "Chapter 7, Configuring Single Sign-On," of the Oracle Access Manager Access Administration Guide.

11.2.2 Prerequisites for Oracle Access Manager

The setup for Oracle Access Manager (OAM) assumes an existing OAM installation complete with Access Managers and a policy protecting the Policy Manager. For more information on installing and configuring an OAM installation, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management. This setup includes a directory service such as Oracle Internet Directory (OID) either as a stand-alone or as part of an Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) configuration. This chapter will provide the necessary steps for configuring your SOA installation with either OID or OVD.

In addition, the OAM installation should have its own Web server configured with WebGate. This section also provides the steps for using the OAM Web server as a delegated authentication server.

11.2.3 Using the OAM Configuration Tool

The OAM Configuration Tool (oamcfg) starts a series of scripts and setup the required policies. It requires various parameters as inputs. Specifically, it creates the following:

  1. A Form Authentication scheme in OAM

  2. Policies to enable authentication in WebLogic Server

  3. A WebGate entry in OAM to enable Oracle HTTP Server WebGates (from your Web Tier) to protect your configured application

  4. A Host Identifier, depending on the scenario chosen (a default host identifier would be used, if not provided) Policies to protect and unprotect application specific URLs.

This section covers the following topics:

11.2.3.1 Collecting the Information for the OAM Configuration Tool

The following information should be collected or prepared prior to running the OAM Configuration tool:

  1. Password: Create a secure password. This will be used as the password for the WebGate installation created later.

  2. LDAP Host: host name of the Directory Server or Load Balancer address in the case of an HA/Enterprise Deployment configuration.

  3. LDAP Port: port of the Directory Server.

  4. LDAP USER DN: DN of the LDAP admin user. This will be a value such as "cn=orcladmin."

  5. LDAP password: password of the LDAP admin user

  6. oam_aa_host: host name of an Oracle Access Manager

  7. oam_aa_port: port of the Oracle Access Manager

11.2.3.2 Running the OAM Configuration Tool

The OAM Configuration Tool resides in the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/modules/oracle.oamprovider_11.1.1/ directory (ORACLE_COMMON_HOME depends on which machine you are running the configuration tool). The tool can be run from any machine with the required installation files. In this case, we run it from SOAHOST1.

The OAM Configuration Tool provides a way to register protected and public resources into the OAM system. The list of protected resources to be added to the OAM system is as follows:

/integration/worklistapp
/integration/worklistapp/.../*
/workflow/sdpmessagingsca-ui-worklist
/workflow/sdpmessagingsca-ui-worklist/.../*
/b2bconsole
/b2bconsole/.../*
/sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui
/sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui/…/*
/DefaultToDoTaskFlow
/DefaultToDoTaskFlow/…/*
/em
/em/.../*
/console
/console/.../*
/soa/composer
/soa/composer/.../
/OracleBAM (For BAM systems only)
/OracleBAM/…/* (For BAM systems only)
/bpm/composer (For BPM systems only)
/bpm/composer/…/* (For BPM systems only)
/bpm/workspace
/bpm/workspace/…/*
/soa-infra
/soa-infra/deployer
/soa-infra/events/edn-db-log
/soa-infra/cluster/info
/inspection.wsil/

The list of public resources is as follows:

/soa-infra/services/.../*
/soa-infra/directWSDL
/soa-infra/directWSDL/.../*
/OracleBAMWS
/OracleBAMWS/.../*
/ucs/messaging/webservice
/ucs/messaging/webservice/.../*

Where "/…/*" implies all resources under the base url context.

The OAM Configuration Tool should be run as follows for OAM 10g registration (all on a single command line):

MW_HOME/jrockit_160_<version>/bin/java -jar oamcfgtool.jar mode=CREATE
app_domain="SOA_EDG"
protected_uris="$URI_LIST"
app_agent_password=<Password_to_be_provisioned_for_App_Agent>
ldap_host=OID.MYCOMPANY.COM
ldap_port=389
ldap_userdn="cn=orcladmin"
ldap_userpassword=<Password_of_LDAP_Admin_User>
oam_aaa_host=OAMHOST1
oam_aaa_port=OAMPORT1

Define the $URI_LIST variable to contain the list of URIs you want to protect as follows:

/integration/worklistapp
/workflow/sdpmessagingsca-ui-worklist
/b2bconsole
/sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui
/DefaultToDoTaskFlow
/em
/console
/soa/composer
/OracleBAM <!-- (For BAM systems only) -->
/bpm/composer <!-- (For BPM systems only) -->
/bpm/workspace <!-- (For BPM systems only) -->
/soa-infra
/soa-infra/deployer
/soa-infra/events/edn-db-log
/soa-infra/cluster/info
/inspection.wsil

Note:

If BAM is installed later or other additional URLs need to be protected, the OAM configuration tool should be executed again using the same app_domain and including all the URLs that would be protected (not just the new ones).

Define the $PUBLIC_URI_LIST variable to contain the list of URIs you want to set as not protected/public as follows:

/soa-infra/services/.../*
/soa-infra/directWSDL
/soa-infra/directWSDL/.../*
/OracleBAMWS
/OracleBAMWS/.../*
/ucs/messaging/webservice
/ucs/messaging/webservice/.../*

If your command ran successfully, you should see the following output:

Processed input parameters
Initialized Global Configuration
Successfully completed the Create operation
Operation Summary:
Policy Domain: SOA_EDG
Host Identifier: SOA_EDG
Access Gate ID: SOA_EDG_AG

11.2.3.3 SOA Composite Applications and Oracle Access Manager Logout Guidelines

For a SOA composite application complying with Oracle Access Manager logout guidelines (in particular, a composite that invokes a logout through /adfAuthentication?logout=true&end_url=<someURI>), integrating the composite into an Oracle Access Manager 10g environment requires additional configuration on the WebGate to handle the end_url. Without this additional configuration, you are logged out, but not redirected to the end URL because Oracle Access Manager 10g WebGate does not process end_url.

For information about configuration procedures, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide.

11.2.3.4 Verifying Successful Creation of the Policy Domain and AccessGate

Verifying the Policy Domain

To verify the policy domain, complete these steps:

  1. Log on to the Oracle Access Manager: http://OAMADMINHOST:<port>/access/oblix/

  2. Click Policy Manager.

  3. Click the My Policy Domains link on the left panel, you will see a list of all policy domains, among which the domain you just created will be listed. It will have the suffix _PD (for example, SOA_EDG_PD ). In the third column (URL prefixes, you will also see the URIs you specified during the creation of this domain).

  4. Click the link to the policy domain you just created. you will land in the General area of this domain.

  5. Click the Resources tab, you will see the URIs you specified. You can also click other tabs to view other settings.

Verifying the AccessGate Configuration

To verify the AccessGate configuration, complete these steps:

  1. Click the Access System Console link on the top right hand side (this acts like a toggle; after you click it, it becomes the Policy Manager link).

  2. Click the Access System Configuration tab.

  3. Click the AccessGate Configuration link on the left panel.

  4. Enter 'SOA_EDG' as the search criterion (or any other substring you may have used as the app_domain name in Section 11.2.3.2, "Running the OAM Configuration Tool"), and click Go.

  5. Once the AccessGate for the domain you just created shows up (this will have the suffix _AG (for example, SOA_EDG_AG), click it, you will see the details of the AccessGate which you just created.

11.2.3.5 Updating the Host Identifier

The OAM Configuration Tool uses the value of the app_domain parameter to create a host identifier for the policy domain. This host identifier must be updated with all the host name variations for the host so that the configuration works correctly. Follow the steps below to update the host identifier created by the OAM Configuration Tool:

  1. Navigate to the Access System Console by specifying the following URL in your web browser:

    http://hostname:port/access/oblix
    

    where hostname refers to the host where WebPass Oracle HTTP Server instance is running and port refers to the HTTP port of the Oracle HTTP Server instance.

  2. When prompted for a username and password, log in as an administrator. Click OK.

  3. On the Access System main page, click the Access System Console link.

  4. On the Access System Console page, click the Access System Configuration tab.

  5. On the Access System Configuration page, click Host Identifiers at the bottom left.

  6. On the List all host identifiers page, click on the host identifier created by the OAM Configuration Tool. For example, select SOA_EDG.

  7. On the Host Identifier Details page, click Modify.

  8. Add the Preferred HTTP Host value used in the Access System Configuration. The following is a list of all the possible host name variations using SSO/WebGate:

    • webhost1.mydomain.com:7777

    • webhost2.mydomain.com:7777

    • soahost1vhn1.mycompany.com:8001

11.2.5 Changing the CacheControl Headers in the SOA_EDG_AG for Oracle BAM

Some Oracle BAM objects are required to be present in the browser´s cache or temp folder in order to be executed. When Oracle Access Manager is used as the Single Sign-On system for Oracle BAM, the HTTP cache header for Web pages is, by default, set to "no-cache" for security reasons. This prevents Internet Explorer from properly accessing some objects, as described in this Microsoft Knowledge Base note http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431, and can cause exceptions while clicking different menu items in Oracle BAM's console. You must change the CacheControl headers settings in the SOA_EDG_AG Access Gate to prevent these errors. To change these settings:

  1. Navigate to the Access System Console using the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/access/oblix

    Where hostname refers to the host where the WebPass Oracle HTTP Server instance is running, and port refers to the HTTP port of the Oracle HTTP Server instance.

  2. On the Access System main page, click the Access System Console link, then log in as an administrator.

  3. On the Access System Console main page, click Access System Configuration, and then click the Access Gate Configuration link on the left pane to display the AccessGates Search page.

  4. Enter the proper search criteria and click Go to display a list of AccessGates.

  5. Select the AccessGate created by the Oracle Access Manager configuration tool.

  6. Click Modify at the bottom of the page.

  7. In the CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader fields, replace the no-cache field with private.

  8. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

11.2.6 Configuring IP Validation for the Webgate

IP Validation determines if a client's IP address is the same as the IP address stored in the ObSSOCookie generated for single sign-on. IP Validation can cause issues in systems using load balancer devices configured to perform IP termination, or when the authenticating webgate is front-ended by a different load balancer from the one front-ending the enterprise deployment. To configure your load balancer so that it is not validated in these cases, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Access System Console using the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/access/oblix

    Where the hostname refers to the host where the WebPass Oracle HTTP Server instance is running, and port refers to the HTTP port of the Oracle HTTP Server instance.

  2. On the Access System main page, click the Access System Console link, and then log in as an administrator.

  3. On the Access System Console main page, click Access System Configuration, and then click the Access Gate Configuration link on the left pane to display the AccessGates Search page.

  4. Enter the proper search criteria and click Go to display a list of AccessGates.

  5. Select the AccessGate created by the Oracle Access Manager configuration tool.

  6. Click Modify at the bottom of the page.

  7. In the IPValidationException field, enter the address of the load balancer used to front-end the deployment.

  8. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

11.2.7 Setting Up WebLogic Authenticators

This section assumes that you have already set up the LDAP authenticator by following the steps in Section 11.1.2.1, "Creating the LDAP Authenticator." If you have not already created the LDAP authenticator, do it before continuing with this section.

This section includes the following topics:

11.2.7.1 Back Up Configuration Files

  • OAM Identity Asserter: REQUIRED

  • OID LDAP Authenticator (or OVD LDAP Authenticator): SUFFICIENT

  • Default Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

11.3 Oracle Access Manager 11g Integration

This section describes how to set up Oracle Access Manager 11g as the single sign-on solution for the Oracle SOA Enterprise Deployment topology.

This section contains the following sections:

11.3.1 Overview of Oracle Access Manager Integration

Oracle Access Manager (OAM) is the recommended single sign-on solution for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1. For more information on installing and configuring an OAM installation, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management. This section explains the procedure for configuring the SOA installation with an existing OAM 11g installation and the underlying directory service. Oracle recommends using either Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD), or both of these directory services.

Note:

The SOA topology described in this guide uses a Single Sign-On configuration where both the SOA System and the Single Sign-On System are in the same network domain (mycompany.com). For a multi-domain configuration, please refer to the required configuration steps in "Chapter 7, Configuring Single Sign-On," of the Oracle Access Manager Access Administration Guide.

11.3.2 Prerequisites for Oracle Access Manager

The setup for Oracle Access Manager (OAM) assumes an existing OAM installation complete with Access Managers and a policy protecting the Policy Manager. For more information on installing and configuring an OAM installation, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management. This setup includes a directory service such as Oracle Internet Directory (OID) either as a stand-alone or as part of an Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) configuration. This chapter provides the necessary steps for configuring your SOA installation with either OID or OVD.

In addition, the OAM installation should have its own Web server configured with a WebGate. This section also provides the steps for using the OAM Web server as a delegated authentication server.

11.3.3 Install WebGate

You must install a WebGate on each of the WEBHOST machines where an HTTP Server has already been installed. Section 11.3.3and Section 11.3.4 should be repeated for each WEBHOST in the deployment environment.

11.3.3.1 Installing GCC Libraries

You must download and install third-party GCC libraries on your machine before installing WebGate.

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

http://gcc.gnu.org/

For Linux 32-bit the required libraries are libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.5 with a version number of 3.3.2. Table 11-1 lists the versions of GCC third-party libraries for Linux and Solaris.

Copy these files to the webgate instance (Webgate_Instance_Home/config/OHS/ohsN/webgate/config/) location on the WEBHOST machine.

11.3.5 Set Role Members for BPMWorkflowAdmin Application Role in soa-infra

When associating the domain with a identity store that does not contain the user "weblogic", you must assign some other valid user into the application role BPMWorkflowAdmin. To assign the role to a valid user:

  1. Create a user in LDAP Store, in this case named SOAAdmin. This user will be assigned the role.

  2. Assign the role. This can be done using wlst from the SOA Oracle home:

    For example:

    cd ORACLE_HOME/common/bin/
    wlst.sh
     
    connect('weblogic','weblogic', 'SOAADMINHOST:7001')
    revokeAppRole(appStripe="soa-infra", appRoleName="BPMWorkflowAdmin", principalClass="oracle.security.jps.service.policystore.ApplicationRole", principalName="SOAAdmin")
    grantAppRole(appStripe="soa-infra", appRoleName="BPMWorkflowAdmin", principalClass="weblogic.security.principal.WLSUserImpl", principalName="SOAAdmin")
    

11.3.6 Setting Up the WebLogic Authenticators

This section assumes that you have already set up the LDAP authenticator by following the steps in Section 11.1.2.1, "Creating the LDAP Authenticator." If you have not already created the LDAP authenticator, do it before continuing with this section.

This section includes the following topics:

11.3.6.1 Back Up Configuration Files

To be safe, first back up the relevant configuration files:

ORACLE_BASE/admin/domain_name/aserver/domain_name/config/config.xml 
ORACLE_BASE/admin/domain_name/aserver/domain_name/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml
ORACLE_BASE/admin/domain_name/aserver/domain_name/config/fwmconfig/system-jazn-data.xml

In addition, back up the boot.properties file for the Administration Server.

11.3.6.2 Setting Up the OAM ID Asserter

To set up the OAM ID Asserter:

  1. Log into Weblogic Console, if not already logged in.

  2. Click Lock and Edit.

  3. Navigate to SecurityRealms, <Default Realm Name>, and then Providers.

  4. Click New and Select OAM Identity Asserter from the dropdown menu.

  5. Name the asserter (for example, OAM ID Asserter) and click Save.

  6. Click the newly added asserter to see the configuration screen for OAM Identity Asserter.

  7. Set the control flag to 'REQUIRED' .

  8. Select both the ObSSOCookie and OAM_REMOTE_USER options under active types.

  9. Save the settings.

Finally, log in as admin to WLST console and run the following command:

addOAMSSOProvider(loginuri="/${app.context}/adfAuthentication",logouturi="oamsso/logout.html")

11.3.6.3 Setting the Order of Providers

Reorder the OAM Identity Asserter, OID Authenticator, and Default Authenticator by ensuring that the control flag for each authenticator is set as follows:

  • OAM Identity Asserter: REQUIRED

  • OID LDAP Authenticator (or OVD LDAP Authenticator): SUFFICIENT

  • Default Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

11.4 Backing Up the Installation

After you have verified that the extended domain is working, back up the installation. This is a quick backup for the express purpose of immediate restore in case of problems in the further steps. The backup destination is the local disk. This backup can be discarded once the enterprise deployment setup is complete. At this point, the regular deployment-specific backup and recovery process can be initiated. The Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide provides further details. For information on describing the Oracle HTTP Server data that must be backed up and restored, refer to the "Backup and Recovery Recommendations for Oracle HTTP Server" section in this guide. For information on how to recover components, see "Recovery of Components" and "Recovery After Loss of Component" sections in the guide. For recommendations specific to recovering from the loss of a host, see the "Recovering Oracle HTTP Server to a Different Host" in the guide. Also refer to the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide for information on database backup.

To back up the installation a this point, complete these steps:

  1. Back up the web tier:

    1. Shut down the instance using opmnctl.

      ORACLE_BASE/admin/<instance_name>/bin/opmnctl stopall
      
    2. Back up the Middleware Home on the web tier using the following command (as root):

      tar -cvpf BACKUP_LOCATION/web.tar $MW_HOME
      
    3. Back up the Instance Home on the web tier using the following command (as root):

      tar -cvpf BACKUP_LOCATION/web_instance.tar $ORACLE_INSTANCE
      
    4. Start the instance using opmnctl:

      ORACLE_BASE/admin/<instance_name>/bin/opmnctl startall
      
  2. Back up the AdminServer domain directory. Perform a backup to save your domain configuration. The configuration files all exist under the ORACLE_BASE/ admin/<domain_name> directory.

    SOAHOST1> tar -cvpf edgdomainback.tar ORACLE_BASE/admin/<domain_name>
