5-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle ECM Suite Server using Node Manager steps 1 through 4 are required for the first start; all subsequent starts require only step 4: 1. Start the Administration Server using the start script in the domain directory: SOAHOST1 cd ORACLE_BASEadmindomain_nameaserverdomain_namebin SOAHOST1 .startWebLogic.sh 2. Use the Administration Console to update the Node Manager credentials: a. Open a Web browser and go to http:ADMINVHN:7001console. b. Log in as the administrator.

c. Click on domain_name, then Security, then General, and then expand the

Advanced options at the bottom.

d. Click Lock Edit.

e. Enter a new username for Node Manager or make a note of the existing one and update the Node Manager password. f. Save and activate the changes. 3. Stop the administration server process either using Ctrl+C in the shell where it was started or by the standard process identification and kill commands in the operating system. 4. Start the Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST and connect to Node Manager with nmconnect and the credentials set above, and start the administration server using nmstart: SOAHOST1 cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOMEcommonbin SOAHOST1 .wlst.sh Once in the WLST shell, execute the following command make sure Node Manager is up and running: wls:offlinenmConnectAdmin_User,Admin_Pasword, ’SOAHOST1’,5556, domain_name,u01apporacleadmindomain_nameaserverdomain_name wls:nmdomain_name nmStartAdminServer

5.6 Validating the Administration Server

Perform these steps to ensure that the administration server is properly configured: 1. Open a Web browser and go to http:ADMINVHN:7001console. 2. Log in as the administrator. 3. Check that you can access Oracle Enterprise Manager at http:ADMINVHN:7001em. Note: SOAHOST1 is the address of the node where the domain was created, not the listen address of the administration server. Also, the username and password are only used to authenticate connections between Node Manager and clients. They are independent from the server admin ID and password, and are stored in the ORACLE_BASEadmindomain_nameaserverdomain_name confignodemanagernm_password.properties file. Creating a Domain with Administration Server 5-7 4. Log in to Enterprise Manager Console with the username and password you specified in Section 5.3, Creating boot.properties for the Administration Server on SOAHOST1.

5.7 Disabling Host Name Verification for the Administration Server

This step is required if you have not set up the appropriate certificates to authenticate the different nodes with the Administration Server see Chapter 9, Setting Up Node Manager . If you have not configured the server certificates, you will receive errors when managing the different WebLogic servers. To avoid these errors, disable host name verification while setting up and validating the topology, and enable it again once the EDG topology configuration is complete as described in Chapter 9, Setting Up Node Manager. Perform these steps to disable host name verification: 1. Log in to Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

2. Click Lock Edit.

3. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.

4. Click Servers. The Summary of Servers page opens.

5. Select AdminServeradmin in the Names column of the table. The settings page

for the server opens. 6. Open the SSL tab.

7. Expand the Advanced section of the page.

8. Set host name verification to None.

9. Click Save.

10. Save and activate the changes. 11. The change will not take effect until the Administration Server is restarted Node Manager must be up and running: a. Stop the Administration Server using the following command: wls:nmdomain_namenmKillAdminServer b. Start the Administration Server again as described in Section 5.5, Starting the Administration Server on SOAHOST1.
