Overview of the Process

Setting Up the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager Environment for the First Time 2-3

2.4.1.2 Configuring Database Credentials in the Credential Store Framework

Configuring database credentials in the Credential Store Framework involves the following steps: ■ Use the Fusion Middleware Control to add database credentials user name and password in the Credential Store Framework in the domain where Oracle Adaptive Access Manager is installed. These credentials are used by the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager command-line utilities. ■ Configure the properties files that are used by the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager CLI utilities with details of the WebLogic administration server and Oracle Adaptive Access Manager database. For information on the credential store, refer to Managing the Credential Store in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Security Guide.

2.4.2 Prerequisites

Prerequisites for setting up encryption and database credentials for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager are: 1. If you do not have access to the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager installation folder, make sure Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g is configured with Fusion Middleware Control while creating the domain. 2. If you have access to the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager installation folder then make sure you have access to running the command-line scripts in the MW_ HOME\IDM_ORACLE_HOME\oaam\cli folder. 3. Make sure Sun JDK is installed and check that the java command is in the path by executing the java command.

2.4.3 Setting up Secret Key for Encrypting Configuration Values

To set up the secret key for encrypting configuration values, follow the steps in this section:

1. Go to the Oracle Adaptive Access Manager command-line folder MW_

HOME\IDM_ORACLE_HOME\oaam\cli.

2. Create a file config_secret_key.file and add the secret key to the file by

entering: tobase64=secret-key Note: If you are upgrading from Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10.1.4.5 to Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g, you can skip Section 2.4.3, Setting up Secret Key for Encrypting Configuration Values, , Section 2.4.4, Setting Up Secret Key for Encrypting Database Values, and Section 2.4.5, Generating an Encoded Secret Key, since the Upgrade Assistant automatically migrates the secret keys from Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10.1.4.5 to the Credential Store Framework in Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g.
