5.13.2.4 Configuring Oracle Virtual Directory as Federation Data Store

When integrating Oracle Virtual Directory into the Oracle Identity Federation environment to serve as the federation data store, ensure that the fed record context and the LDAP container object class settings are valid for the particular directory structure used to store federation records; that is, they must be valid for the directory structure of the LDAP Server that is referenced by the federation record context.

5.13.3 Manage the Session Data Store and the Message Data Store

Oracle Identity Federation uses the message data store and the user session data store for storing transient data like federation protocolsession state. The message data store together with the user session data store is also referred to as the transient data store. Transient data can be stored either in memory or in a relational database. Follow these steps to configure Oracle Identity Federation to use an in-memory sessionmessage data store: 1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to the Oracle Identity Federation instance.

2. Navigate to Administration, then Data Stores.

3. In the Session Data Store and Message Data Store section, click Edit.

4. Select Memory from the Repository Type dropdown list..

To configure Oracle Identity Federation to use an RDBMS sessionmessage data store, the high-level steps are: 1. Create a JDBC Data Source. 2. Run RCU to create the Oracle Identity Federation schema. Note: Configuring XML as the federation store is not recommended in production environments. Use an RDBMS or LDAP store in production environments. 5-80 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Identity Federation 3. Modify the Oracle Identity Federation data store configuration. This involves configuring Oracle Identity Federation to use the new data source from Step 1, and configuring the federation data store. We will now describe each step in detail. Create a JDBC Data Source Follow these steps to create a JDBC data source: 1. Log in to the WebLogic Administration Console.

2. Navigate to Services, then JDBC, then Data Sources.

3. Click New.

4. Choose a Name and a JNDI Name for the new data source, and enter the database information. Choose the WebLogic managed server where Oracle Identity Federation is deployed as the target of this data source. Create Oracle Identity Federation Schema Follow the steps described in Section 5.13.5, Create the Oracle Identity Federation Schema Using RCU to create the Oracle Identity Federation schema. Modify Oracle Identity Federation Data Store Configuration 1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control and navigate to the Oracle Identity Federation instance.

2. Navigate to Administration, then Data Stores.

3. In the Configuration Data Store section, click Edit.

4. Select Database from the Repository Type dropdown list.

5. Enter the JNDI Name; use the JNDI of the data source created in the WebLogic Administration Console.

6. Click OK.

5.13.4 Manage the Configuration Data Store

Oracle Identity Federation uses the configuration data store to store its configuration artifacts. The configuration store can either be an XML file or a relational database. If your deployment is a High Availability deployment, you must use a relational database as the configuration data store. This section contains these topics: ■ Using a File System Configuration Data Store Note: Be sure to write down the Oracle Identity Federation schema owner and password that is shown in RCU. It is of the form PREFIX_ OIF; you will need to provide this information when configuring Oracle Identity Federation.
