Configuring OAM WebGate On OHS 12c

 

In last blog I discussed on installation of IDM 11.1.2.3.0 http://shrikworld.blogspot.in/2015/10/install-idm-111230-on-windows.html. Today I’ll go through the steps of configuring WebGate on OHS 12c .

Before get started find the certification matrix and glance through , https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CBwQFjAAahUKEwiso8ys0qjIAhWHj44KHU7rC10&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Ftechnetwork%2Fmiddleware%2Fid-mgmt%2Fdocumentation%2Fidentity-access-111230certmatrix-2539086.xlsx&usg=AFQjCNFZeqnxjd92TXI3GCZJ3ib8Zh40Hg&sig2=02zhQRh1Zt7oJIAR1R1mVw&bvm=bv.104317490,d.c2E.

You need to download only Oracle HTTP Server 12.1.3 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webtier/downloads/index-jsp-156711.html location, NO separate WebGate installation is required as it get install along with web server.

Create a new Webtier middleware home.While installing Oracle HTTP server you need to choose one of the below 2 options,

1. Colocated HTTP Server (Managed through WebLogic server) : here Weblogic server with EMconsole extension will be installed, you can manage OHS instances from EM.

2. Standalone HTTP Server (Managed independently of WebLogic server) : Here only OHS instance and node manager will be installed.

Second options is preferred as it has less memory footprint.Once installation is done go to ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\common\bin and start config.cmd to configure domain.select Oracle HTTP Server (Standalone) - 12.1.2.0 [ohs] and on configure node manager screen give credentials. Rest are default and complete the installation of OHS.

In my case ORACLE_HOME is C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier , to start the OHS go to C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\user_projects\domains\wt_domain\bin and run startNodeManager.cmd.Then in separate command prompt run startComponent.cmd like startComponent ohs1 , it will prompt for nodemanager passsword like below,

Once done type http://localhost:7777/ and you should see OHS landing page.

As I mentioned earlier WebGate comes with OHS12c module and to configure the same follow http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/webtier/WTINS/webgate.htm#WTINS1003. But I’m highlighting the commands for convenience.

To deploy WegGate,

deployWebGateInstance -w C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\user_projects\domains\wt_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\OHS\ohs1 -oh C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier

Set the environment like set PATH=%PATH%;C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\webgate\ohs\lib;C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\bin

Run the EditHttpConf command by EditHttpConf -w C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\user_projects\domains\wt_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\OHS\ohs1

Then the next step is WebGate registration ,to do that go to C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\middleware\iam_home\oam\server\rreg directory of IDM home.We’ll going to do in-band registration, under input folder you’ll get OAM11GRequest.xml template file .

Open the same and edit accordingly, like in my case

Then from RREG directory run \bin\oamreg.bat inband input\OAM11GRequest.xml .

Now go to the output folder RREG_OAM11G directory and copy cwallet.sso & ObAccessClient.xml files to C:\shrik\Apps\IDM\WebTier\user_projects\domains\wt_domain\config\fmwconfig\components\OHS\ohs1\webgate\config directory of webtier home.

Restart the ohs component and try to access http://localhost:7777/  , you will be redirected to OAM SSO login page.

You can verify the agent details from OAM console as well.
