2.4 LDAP as Credential and Policy Store

With Oracle Fusion Middleware, you can use different types of credential and policy stores in a WebLogic domain. Domains can use stores based on XML files or on different types of LDAP providers. When a domain uses an LDAP store, all policy and credential data is kept and maintained in a centralized store. However, when using XML policy stores, the changes made on managed servers are not propagated to the administration server unless they use the same domain home. An Oracle ECM enterprise deployment topology uses different domain homes for the administration server and the managed server as described in the Section 2.3, Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure. Derived from this, and for integrity and consistency purposes, Oracle requires the use of an LDAP server as policy and credential store in context of an Oracle ECM enterprise deployment topology. Follow the steps in Section 11.1.2.1, Creating the LDAP Authenticator to configure the Oracle ECM enterprise deployment with an LDAP server as credential and policy store. Note: The shared storage can be a NAS or SAN device. The following illustrates an example of creating storage for a NAS device from SOAHOST1. The options may differ. SOAHOST1 mount nasfiler:volvol1fmw11shared ORACLE_BASEwls -t nfs -o rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768, wsize=32768 Contact your storage vendor and machine administrator for the correct options for your environment. 2-22 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle ECM Suite 3 Installing the Software 3-1 3 Installing the Software This chapter describes the software installations required for the enterprise deployment reference topology for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. The installation is divided into two parts. The first part covers the required web tier installations, while the second part addresses the required Fusion Middleware FMW components. Later chapters describe the required configuration steps to create the reference topology for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite.
