LDAP INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

The LDAP Installation and Configuration consists of following topics:

• Using Oracle Unified Directory
• Creating Weblogic Domain for Oracle Unified Directory
• Creating the Attributes, Object Class, Users, Groups and Adding Optional Attributes on LDAP Server

This chapter describes the different ways of installing the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server in the following sections respectively:

• Using Oracle Unified Directory
• Creating Weblogic Domain for Oracle Unified Directory
• Creating Attributes, Object Class, Users, Groups and Adding Optional Attributes on LDAP Server

Using Oracle Unified Directory

Oracle Unified Directory is a comprehensive next generation directory service. It is designed to address large deployments and to provide high performance, and is highly extensive. Oracle Unified Directory is easy to deploy, manage, and monitor.

This chapter describes the installation tasks which contains the following sections:

• Installing and Configuring Oracle Unified Directory
• Verifying the Installation

Installing and Configuring Oracle Unified Directory

• Obtain OUD from the Oracle Fusion Middleware Downloads. Download OUD.zip file to a directory, and unpack the downloaded archive that contains the installer. By default, this directory is named OUD.
• Now to start the installer, go to the directory where you unpacked the archive file and switch to the Disk1 directory.

Start the installer from the Disk1 directory (On UNIX)

./runInstaller –jreLoc  Java_Home/jdk

Note: You must enter the absolute path of the JRE folder located in this JDK when launching the installer.

• If you are installing on a UNIX system, and if this is the first time any Oracle product is being installed on your system with the Oracle Universal Installer, you will are asked to provide the location of an inventory directory. This is where the installer sets up subdirectories and maintains inventory data for each Oracle product that is installed on this system.
• Follow the instructions in the below table to configure the inventory directory information. For more help, click on the screen name in the table below, or click the Help button in the GUI.

Inventory Directory and Group Screens

Screen	Description and Action Required
Specify Inventory Directory Screen (UNIX Only)	Specify the Oracle inventory directory and group permissions for that directory. The group must have write permissions to the Oracle inventory directory. Click OK to continue.
Inventory Location Confirmation Screen (UNIX Only)	Run the createCentralInventory.sh script as root. Click OK to continue.

Now, perform the steps as shown below to install and configure OUD after you start the OUD installer.

Welcome Screen

The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the installer.

Click Next to continue.

Install Software Updates Screen

If you want to search for and download software updates from My Oracle Support, then do the following:

Select Search My Oracle Support for Updates.

Enter User name and Password.

Click Test Connection.

If you want to search your local directory for updates, then do the following:

Select Search Local Directory for Updates.

Click Search For Updates.

If you want to skip software updates, then select Skip Software Updates. (Kindly follow recommended practices regarding updates depending on the setup requirements or usage.)

Click Next to continue.

Prerequisite Checks Screen

This screen shows whether the system requirements are met in order to install the software.

If there is a problem, a short error message appears in the bottom portion of the screen. Fix the error, and click Retry to try again.

If you want to ignore the error or warning messages and continue with the installation, click Continue.

To stop prerequisite checking for all components, click Abort.

Click Next to continue.

Specify Installation Location Screen

Specify the following installation locations:

• Oracle Middleware Home

The absolute path to the directory where WebLogic Server was installed.

• Oracle Home Directory

The directory name for your Oracle home:

• You can specify a pre-existing directory that you want to use as the Oracle home; the directory must be an empty directory.
• You can specify the name of a new directory that will be created for you inside the Middleware home.

Oracle Home directory is where your products will be installed. All software binaries will reside in this directory, and no runtime process can write to this directory.

Note: This installation directory will be referred to as OUD_ORACLE_HOME throughout the remainder of this document.

If you are performing an installation on a Windows operating system, be sure that your directory paths are valid, and do not contain double backslashes (\\).

Click Next to continue.

Installation Summary Screen

Review the information on this screen. The operations summarized on this page will be performed when you click Install.

If you want to make any changes to the configuration before starting the installation, use the navigation pane, and select the topic you want to edit.

If you want to save this configuration to a text file (called a response file), click Save. You will be prompted for the location of name of the file you want to create (for example, silent_install.rsp). This file can be used later if you choose to perform the same installation from the command line.

Click Install.

Then screen shows the progress of the installation.

Installation Progress Screen

This screen shows the progress of the installation.

If you want to quit before the installation is completed, click Cancel. Doing so will result in a partial installation; the portion of the software that was installed on your system before you click Cancel will remain on your system, and you will have to remove it manually.

Installation Complete Screen

This screen summarizes the installation that was just completed.

You can also save this summary information to a file for future reference by clicking Save. You will be prompted to specify a name and location for your summary file.

Click Finish to dismiss the screen.

• After the installation of OUD, go to the OUD_Oracle_Home directory and start the oud-setup.sh as follows,

cd /ORACLE_HOME/Oracle_OUD1/

./oud-setup

• After starting the oud-setup, follow the steps as shown below:

Welcome Screen

The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the installer.

After the processing is done i.e.,after creating directory server is done and starting directory Is done click close.

Verifying the Installation

You can perform any combination of the following tasks to verify that your installation was successful:

• Verifying the Installation Logs

Check for the presence of installation log files in logs directory inside your Oracle Inventory directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the OUD_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file.

• Checking the Browser URLs

Use the port numbers of OUD provided during configuration, by default UserDN port is 1389 and Admin Connector Port is 4444. Check if there is any process running on the port. Use the following command:

netstat –tulpn | grep <port_number>

In-case there is no process bind to respective port number, kindly check your Server process.

• To check the URLs, use the format:

http://system_name:port_number/odsm

Creating Weblogic Domain for Oracle Unified Directory

• Start the Weblogic Configuration Wizard, by executing the below command:
