3.2.1 Deploying Oracle Identity Federation with Oracle HTTP Server

HTTP Servers are deployed in the Web tier. Most Identity Management components can function without the Web tier, but for most enterprise deployments, the Web tier is desirable. To support enterprise level single sign-on using products such as Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Access Manager, the Web tier is required. This section describes the steps needed to install and deploy Oracle Identity Federation so that it is integrated with Oracle HTTP Server OHS. ■ Install Oracle HTTP Server ■ Manage the Oracle HTTP Server Instance ■ Associate Oracle HTTP Server with Managed Server ■ Update Oracle Identity Federation Configuration

3.2.1.1 Install Oracle HTTP Server

When installing the IdM suite, select Oracle HTTP Server in the Select Components screen. This will install Oracle HTTP Server. After installation, issue the following command-line instruction to create the instance: AS_INSTbinopmnctl createcomponent -componentType OHS -componentName OHS_NAME where AS_INST represents the application server instance home, and OHS_NAME is the name of the new OHS component.

3.2.1.2 Manage the Oracle HTTP Server Instance

The commands to start, stop, and restart Oracle HTTP Server respectively are as follows: AS_INSTbinopmnctl startproc process-type=OHS AS_INSTbinopmnctl stopproc process-type=OHS AS_INSTbinopmnctl restartproc process-type=OHS where AS_INST represents the application server instance home.

3.2.1.3 Associate Oracle HTTP Server with Managed Server

Next, take these steps to link Oracle HTTP Server to the managed server where Oracle Identity Federation is running: 1. Open AS_INSTconfigOHSOHS_NAMEmoduleconfoif.conf Note: When Oracle HTTP Server is installed, only the HTTP protocol is enabled. To enable SSL between Oracle HTTP Server and the managed server running Oracle Identity Federation, you must configure HTTPS post-install.
