In this topic we are going to describe how to connect ODSM with OID (oracle internet directory).
- Oracle internet directory is a ldap, which Architecturally is based on an external Oracle database.
- ODSM is an application which provides us an interface in order to administrate our OID, but before you can use this application, you should connect with the OID.
- Before to connect with the OID, it should be running. You can start from the instance of the OID.
- To start the application, you should do it from the instance of the OID.
- $ cd /<Middleware home>/<instance>/bin/
- $ ./ opmnctl startall
- $ ./ opmnctl status
- (We have also OHS running in the same instance.)
- To start the application, you should do it from the instance of the OID.
- Access to the console of ODSM. (It should be running) . By default the url: http://<hostname>:7005/odsm
- Click to “Connect to a directory”
- Create a new connection
- Fill the information about the connection
- Name: What ever you want.
- Server: Hostname | server name where the OID is running.
- Port where OID is running, By default 3060
- SSL Enable: Just if you want to configure an security connection. If you want to use a security connection, you will change also the port.
- User Name: By default cn =orcladmin
- The name of the administrator user in OID. (Named when when you installed OID, check the picture from my own installation where I named my user administrator)
- Password: Password of the administrator
- Start Page: Home
Now you can manage your OID from ODSM
