15.8.3 Configuring Oracle HTTP Servers To Front End the Oracle Identity Federation Managed Servers

On each of the web servers on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2, create a file called oif.conf in the directory ORACLE_ INSTANCE configOHScomponentmoduleconf. Edit this file and add the following lines: Location fed SetHandler weblogic-handler WLProxySSL ON WLProxySSLPassThrough ON WebLogicCluster oifhost1.mycompany.com:7499,oifhost2.mycompany.com:7499 Location Restart the Oracle HTTP Server, as described in Section 20.1, Starting and Stopping Oracle Identity Management Components.

15.9 Validating Oracle Identity Federation

If the configuration is correct, you can access the following URLs from a web browser: ■ https:sso.mycompany.comfedspmetadata ■ https:sso.mycompany.comfedidpmetadata You should see metadata.

15.10 Backing Up the Application Tier Configuration

It is an Oracle best practices recommendation to create a backup after successfully completing the installation and configuration of each tier, or at another logical point. Create a backup after verifying that the installation so far is successful. This is a quick backup for the express purpose of immediate restoration in case of problems in later steps. The backup destination is the local disk. You can discard this backup when the enterprise deployment setup is complete. After the enterprise deployment setup is complete, you can initiate the regular deployment-specific Backup and Recovery process. For more details, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. For information on database backups, refer to the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Users Guide. To back up the installation to this point, follow these steps: 1. Back up the web tier as described in Section 5.5, Backing up the Web Tier Configuration. 2. Back up the database. This is a full database backup, either hot or cold. The recommended tool is Oracle Recovery Manager. 3. Back up the application tier instances by following these steps: a. Shut down the instance using opmnctl located under the ORACLE_ INSTANCE bin directory: ORACLE_INSTANCE binopmnctl stopall b. Create a backup of the Middleware home on the application tier. On Linux, as the root user, type: tar -cvpf BACKUP_LOCATIONapptier.tar MW_HOME Extending the Domain with Oracle Identity Federation 15-15 c. Create a backup of the Instance home on the application tier as the root user: tar -cvpf BACKUP_LOCATIONinstance_backup.tar ORACLE_INSTANCE d. Start up the instance using opmnctl located under the ORACLE_ INSTANCE bin directory: ORACLE_INSTANCE binopmnctl startall 4. Back up the Administration Server domain directory as described in Section 6.15, Backing Up the WebLogic Domain. 5. Back up the Oracle Internet Directory as described in Section 7.7, Backing up the Oracle Internet Directory Configuration. 6. Back up the Oracle Virtual Directory as described in Section 9.10, Backing Up the Oracle Virtual Directory Configuration. 15-16 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity Management 16 Setting Up Node Manager 16-1 16 Setting Up Node Manager This chapter describes how to configure Node Manager in accordance with Oracle best practice recommendations.
