Chapter 4. Start-up Shutdown IDAM

Oracle Identity and Access Management (IDAM) components are Java applications deployed on WebLogic Server with database as repository. Consider the following components when starting and stopping an Oracle Identity and Access management server:

  1. One and only one Admin server

  2. One or more SOA Suite Managed servers

  3. One or more OIM Managed servers

  4. One or more OAM Managed servers

  5. Database server used as repository for Oracle Identity and Access Management

  6. Node Manager per machine (optional component)

  7. External LDAP server as User store (optional component)

Note

Oracle Access Manager's default identity store is an embedded LDAP server (shipped as part of WebLogic server). It is recommended to configure Oracle Access Manager's Identity Store to external LDAP server, such as Oracle Internet directory or Microsoft Active directory.

In this chapter we will cover:

  • Start-up/Shutdown order

  • Start-up/Shutdown Oracle IDAM

  • Tools to assist in the process
