This section describes documentation issues in the following documentation:

4.1 Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide

Following are the known issues in the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide:

4.1.1 Additional Information for the "Managing Oracle Internet Directory" Chapter

The "Installing and Configuring Oracle9iAS" section in the "Managing Oracle Internet Directory" chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide should contain the following information:

  1. In addition to being in the iASAdmins group, you must also be the "owner" of the iASAdmins group.

  2. You must also be in the OracleDBCreators group if you need to create a new infrastructure database.

  3. To perform a Portal installation, you must also be in the OracleDASAdminGroup in the Root Oracle Context.

4.1.2 Include Additional Port Numbers for Oracle9iAS Web Cache

Table "Oracle9iAS Port Usage (Sorted by Component)" in the "Default Port Numbers and Port Ranges" chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide contains an incomplete list of port numbers for Oracle9iAS Web Cache. Table 4-1 contains the complete list of Oracle9iAS Web Cache port numbers.

4.1.3 Correct Information Regarding Routing Priority for OC4J Requests

Section "Component Instances: Oracle HTTP Server" in the "Clustering" chapter of the of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide contains the following incorrect statement:

"Forward an incoming stateless request to any OC4J process in the cluster. The priority is to forward the incoming request first to an OC4J process in its own application server instance. If none are available, it forwards the request to any OC4J process in another application server instance in the cluster."

It should be:

"Forward an incoming stateless request to any OC4J process in the cluster. It gives equal weight to each of the available OC4J processes in the cluster, local or remote, when determining where to forward the request."

4.1.4 Updated Syntax for OPMN Samples

There are three syntax errors in the sample configurations provided in the "Sample Configurations for Oracle Process Manager" section of the "High Availability" chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide.

  1. The attribute describing the number of processes in the custom tag should be "numProcs" (not "num_of_procs").

  2. The local, remote, and request attributes are all required in the port tag.

  3. The island id and number of processes are defined with the "id" and "numProcs" attributes in the island tag (not with the islandID attribute).

The following samples use the correct syntax:

4.1.4.1 One Oracle HTTP Server Process, One OC4J Process with Defaults

This configuration starts one Oracle HTTP Server and one OC4J process with default values.

<notification-server>
  <port local="6001" 
        remote="6002"
        request="6003">
  </port> 
  <log-file path="/private/my_directory/tmp/opmn_logs/ons.log" 
            level="5"> 
  </log-file>
</notification-server>
<process-manager> 
  <ohs/>
  <oc4j> 
    <config-file path=ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/server.xml /> 
  </oc4j> 
  <log-file path="/private/my_directory/tmp/opmn_logs/ipm.log" 
           level="4"> 
  </log-file> 
</process-manager> 

4.1.4.2 One Oracle HTTP Server Process, Two OC4J Processes, and One Generic Process with User-Specified Values

This configuration starts one Oracle HTTP Server process, two OC4J processes, and one generic process with several user-specified values.

<process-manager> 
    <ohs gid="a1" maxRetry="3"> 
        <config-file path="/my_directory/conf/httpd.conf"/> 
    </ohs> 
    <oc4j  instanceName="home" maxRetry="4" gid="o1">
        <config-file path="/my_directory/conf/oc4j.xml"/> 
        <port ajp="3000-3001" rmi="3002-3003" jms="3004-3005"/>
        <island id="myIslandA" numProcs="2"/>
    </oc4j> 
    <custom gid="g1" numProcs = "1">
        <start path="/my_directory/bin/exec1"/> 
            <environment> 
                <prop name="PATH" value="/my_directory/ias/lib"/> 
                <prop name="CLASSPATH" value="/my_directory/ias/bin" 
            </environment>
    </general> 
</process-manager> 

4.1.4.3 One Oracle HTTP Server Process, Two OC4J Processes with User-Specified Values

This configuration starts one Oracle HTTP Server and two OC4J processes with some user-specified values.

<notification-server> 
  <port local="6001"
        remote="6002"
        request="6003">
  </port> 
    <log-file path="/private/my_directory/tmp/opmn_logs/ons.log" 
              level="5"> 
    </log-file> 
</notification-server> 
  <process-manager>
  
<!-- Start one ohs process with a process group ID of a1, with a config file in 
a non-default directory location -- > 

  <ohs gid="a1" maxRetry="3"> 
            <config-file path="Apache/Apache/my_conf/httpd.conf"/>
  </ohs> 

<!-- Start two oc4j processes with a process group ID of o1, with a instanceName 
of myClusterA (This should be the worker specified in the mod_oc4j config file), 
and an island id of myIslandA. Since we are starting two processes we have to 
specify the port range used when starting the processes. So OC4J process1 starts 
with ajp port 8010, jms port 8020 and rmi port 8030. The second OC4J process 
uses ajp port 8011, jms port 8021, and rmi port 8031. --> 

  <oc4j instanceName="myInstanceA" gid="o1">
   <port ajp="8010-8012", jms="8020-8022" rmi="8030-8032"/>
   <island id="myIslandA" numProcs="2"/>
  </oc4j> 

<!-- If the logs should be created in a specific directory provide that location 
here --!> 

  <log-file path="/tmp/ipm.log" level="4"/> 
</process-manager> 

4.2 Oracle9i Application Server Concepts

Following is the known issue in the Oracle9i Application Server Concepts:

4.2.1 Characterization of New iPlanet Connector

The Oracle9i Application Server Concepts positioned Oracle Internet Directory incorrectly and mischaracterized the new iPlanet connector.

The sentence from the Oracle9i Application Server Concepts:

"With Oracle9iAS, Oracle Internet Directory includes an agent for out-of-the-box synchronization with Oracle Human Resources and an agent for synchronizing information with selected third party LDAP servers"

should read:

"With Oracle9iAS, Oracle Internet Directory includes connectors for out-of-the-box synchronization with Oracle Human Resources and iPlanet Directory Server 4.2 and 5.0."

4.3 Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide

Following are the known issues in the Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide:

4.3.1 SSLPassPhraseDialog Not Valid in Virtual Host Context

The Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide lists the "virtual host" as a context for SSLPassPhraseDialog directive. The valid context for SSLPassPhraseDialog directive is "server" only.

4.3.2 Remove PLsqlEnableConnectionPooling from Configured dads.conf File

The "Configuring Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On"chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide contains information about a configured dads.conf file. The term PlsqlEnableConnectionPooling should be deleted from the file.

4.3.3 Updated Information Regarding Oracle9iAS Portal Default User Accounts

The "Oracle9iAS Portal Default User Accounts" bullet in the "Relationship between Oracle9iAS Portal and Oracle Internet Directory" section of the "Configuring Oracle9iAS Portal Security" chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide states the following:

(cn=PUBLIC, cn=PORTAL, cn=PORTAL_ADMIN) are created in the subscriber's user base (cn=Users,o=MyCompany,dc=com).

It should be changed to:

(cn=PUBLIC, cn=PORTAL, cn=PORTAL_ADMIN) are created in the subscriber's user base (cn=Users,dc=MyCompany,dc=com).

4.3.4 Updated Information for Default User Password Policy

The "Default User Password Policy in Oracle9iAS" table in the "Oracle9i Application Server Security Architecture and Features" chapter of the Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide should state this additional information:

"After ten failed attempts to log in with an incorrect password, user accounts are locked out for a period of 24 hours."

4.4 Online Help

The following are issues with online help for various components:

4.4.1 Broken Links to DAS Online Help

A few Portal Help topics include links to the DAS (Delegated Administration Service) Help. If you find that these links are broken, it is probably because they are pointing to the wrong machine or port for your Oracle Internet Directory (OID) server. You can do one of the following:

4.4.2 Online Help May Not Display Correct Language

Translated versions of online help are installed into the Oracle home directory but are not always called correctly when using Oracle9iAS Discoverer Plus, Oracle9iAS Portal, or Oracle Ultra Search.

In order to view help information in the correct language, go to ORACLE_HOME/component/doc to find the translated help files.
