How
to integrate OID Oracle Identity Management Infrastructure with Other
directories and Applications
(LESSON
24)
Oracle
provides two types of Directory Integration services.
-
Synchronization:
This service keeps other directories consistent with the central OID
server in an enterprise with multiple LDAP directories.
-
Provisioning:
This service sends notifications to the LDAP-enabled applications to
reflect changes made to a user’s status or group information.
The
difference between provisioning and synchronization are:
-
Synchronization
happens at the application deployment time but provisioning happens at
the application design time.
-
Synchronization
has maintenance effort of high but provisioning need only a minimal
effort, only at installation time.
-
Synchronization
has two-way communication direction but provisioning has only one-way
and that is from OID to applications.
-
Synchronization
handles any data in a directory but provisioning only restricted to
provisioned users and groups.
You
can create different integration profiles by using the ODM, DIP
assistant, and provisioning subscription tool.
You
may use the OIDCTL and ODISRV tools to start your integration services. The Integration
server performs the following tasks;
-
Schedulers
connectors
-
Data import
and export
-
Mapping
How
to start and stop the Integration server by using oidctl
command:
To
start the Integration server:
$
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$
oidctl connect=your-instance server=odisrv instance=2 configset=1
flags=”-p 3060” start
To
stop the Integration server:
$
oidctl connect=your-instance server=odisrv instance=2 configset=1
flags=”-p 3060” stop
How
to view Integration server details
Use
the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control to view your
Integration server details.
Open
Enterprise Manager Application Server Control by using the following
URL:
http://<hostname.domain>:1810
or 1156 etc.
Type
the above URL in your address bar. In the login dialog box, enter
username orcladmin with its password and then click the “OK”
button.
When
the “farm” page with standalone instances were displayed, click on
the infrastructure instance. In the “System Components” page,
click on the “Internet Directory” or “OID” instance link.
Now,
you should be able to click on the “Directory Integration” link on
the “Status” section. The “Directory Integration Profiles”
page will be displayed.
