13 Deploying Provisioning-Integrated Applications 13-1 13 Deploying Provisioning-Integrated Applications This chapter explains how to deploy provisioning-integrated applications with the Oracle Provisioning Service. It contains these topics: ■ Deployment Overview for Provisioning-Integrated Applications ■ Managing Provisioning Profiles Using oidprovtool ■ Registering Applications for Provisioning ■ Configuring Application Provisioning Properties

13.1 Deployment Overview for Provisioning-Integrated Applications

To deploy provisioning-integrated applications with the Oracle Provisioning Service, you perform these general steps: 1. Install Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform. 2. Load user information into Oracle Internet Directory. 3. Start the Oracle Directory Integration Platform. 4. Install the applications and use the oidprovtool to create a provisioning profile for each application. Refer to Managing Provisioning Profiles Using oidprovtool on page 13-2 for more information. 5. Configure application registration by following the procedures described in Registering Applications for Provisioning on page 13-8. 6. Configure application provisioning by following the procedures described in Configuring Application Provisioning Properties on page 13-10. 7. Periodically monitor the status of the provisioning event propagation for each application. You can do this by using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

13.2 Managing Provisioning Profiles Using oidprovtool

Provisioning enables you to ensure that an application is notified of directory changes, such as changes to user or group information. Such changes can affect whether the application allows a user access to its processes and resources. When you install an application that you want to provision, you must create a provisioning integration profile using the oidprovtool command located in the ORACLE_HOMEbin directory. You can use the oidprovtool to: ■ Create a new provisioning profile. A new provisioning profile is created and set to the enabled state so that Oracle Directory Integration Platform can process it. ■ Disable an existing provisioning profile. ■ Enable a disabled provisioning profile. ■ Modify an existing provisioning profile. ■ Delete an existing provisioning profile. ■ Get the current status of a given provisioning profile. ■ Clear all of the errors in an existing provisioning profile. The oidprovtool utility shields the location and schema details of the provisioning profile entries from the callers of the tool. From the callers perspective, the combination of an application and a realm uniquely identify a provisioning profile. The constraint in the system is that there can be only one provisioning profile for each application for each realm. Once a profile is created, its mode—that is, INBOUND, OUTBOUND, or BOTH—cannot be changed by using the modify operation. To change the mode, you must delete, then re-create, the profile. The Oracle directory integration platform server automatically monitors provisioning profile configuration changes in Oracle Internet Directory, including the creation, modification, and deletion of provisioning profiles. For this reason, you do not need to manually enable or disable a provisioning profile.
