Configure Oracle BPM Enterprise

When integrating AquaLogic Interaction with Oracle BPM, you must configure the directory service database to use Generic JNDI as the organization provider.

You must also specify the generic_aluidirectory.conf configuration file. This allows the Oracle BPM directory service to communicate directly with AquaLogic Interaction LDAP server.

See Configuring Oracle BPM Enterprise on J2EE for information on configuring Oracle BPM. See Oracle BPM Configuration Wizard Reference for more information.

The specific information you need to provide when using the Oracle BPM Configuration Wizard is described in the sections below.

Directory Provider Selection

On the Directory Provider Selection screen, you must select Generic JNDI as the provider type.

You must also enter the username and password for the Oracle AquaLogic Interaction administrator.
Note: The admin ID must contain a password. Although by default, the Oracle AquaLogic Interaction admin id does not contain a password, Oracle BPM requires that it has one.

Configure Organization Provider

On the Configure Organization Provider screen, you must enter the connectivity information to point to your installation. The following table describes the required settings for each parameter:
Parameter Description
Context Factory Defines the context factory used to create the LDAP connection. The default is: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory. You must use the default context factory when integrating Oracle User Interaction.
URL Specifies the URL to connect to ALI's LDAP provider. This URL is of the form: ldap://host_name:port/dc=oracle,dc=com.
  • ldap:// - specifies the LDAP protocol.
  • host_name - specifies the host name where the ALI LDAP provider is running.
  • port - specifies the port where the Oracle Interaction LDAP provider is running.
  • dc= - specifies the domain component. You must explicitly provide the domain component for your ALI installation. For example, if your installation is running on a domain at oracle.com, you would specify dc=oracle,dc=com.
Principal Specifies the principal or ID used to connect to the ALI LDAP provider. For example, uuid=ali_admin_user,ou=osers,dc=oracle,dc=com
Credentials Specifies the password for the ALI administrator user.
LDAP Configuration Properties Allows you to choose a configuration mapping file. This file is used to map the Oracle BPM LDAP structure to the ALI LDAP structure.
Note: You must choose the ALI mapping file provided by Oracle. This file is located in: ORBPM_HOME/conf/generic_aluidirectory.conf
