8.4.1 Invoking Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Virtual Directory

Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is a graphical user interface that provides a comprehensive systems management platform for Oracle Fusion Middleware. Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control organizes a wide variety of performance data and administrative functions into distinct, Web-based home pages for the farm, Oracle Fusion Middleware components, middleware system components, and applications. Oracle Virtual Directory is a target type in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. To use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control interface to manage Oracle Virtual Directory:

1. Connect to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control using a web

browser. The URL is of the form: https:host:portem

2. In the left panel topology tree, expand the farm, then Identity and Access.

Alternatively, from the farm home page, expand Fusion Middleware, then Identity and Access. Oracle Virtual Directory components are listed in both places. To distinguish one component from another, move the mouse over the component name and view the full name of the component in the tool tip.

3. Select the Oracle Virtual Directory component you want to manage.

4. Use the Oracle Virtual Directory menu to select tasks.

You can use the Oracle Virtual Directory menu to navigate to other Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control pages for Oracle Virtual Directory and to navigate to Oracle Directory Services Manager pages for Oracle Virtual Directory. Note: If Oracle Virtual Directory is configured to listen on privileged ports, ensure OPMN was started as the Oracle Directory Services Manager Administrator before starting, stopping, or restarting Oracle Virtual Directory using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control as described in this topic.
