21.1 Overview of the Remote Manager Configuration

While performing provisioning or reconciliation actions, Oracle Identity Manager must communicate with the target to perform the business operations. To do so, Oracle Identity Manager uses the target APIs to directly communicate with the target during provisioning and reconciliation. However, Oracle Identity Manager cannot directly communicate with the target in some instances, such as: ■ The target is behind a firewall, and the target communication port is not exposed. ■ The target does not provide APIs that can be invoked over the network. ■ The target APIs cannot be invoked over a secure connection. In these instances, instead of directly communicating with the target system, Oracle Identity Manager must use an Oracle Identity Manager component that acts like a proxy. This component is known as remote manager. The remote manager is used for: ■ Invoking non-remotable target APIs through Oracle Identity Manager ■ Invoking target APIs that do not support SSL over secure channel

21.2 Configuring the Remote Manager

Remote manager configuration consists of the following steps: 1. Install the remote manager. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management for information about installing the remote manager. 2. Establish trust relationship with remote manager and Oracle Identity Manager. See Adding the Trust Relation on page 21-2 and Configuring the Remote Manager by Using Your Own Certificate on page 21-3 for details.
