The reason why I chose to cover OID first is that now Oracle 10gAS requires a full setup with OID before installation of Discoverer for the Business Intelligence (BI) environment. For now, hang on and we will return to OID and Application Server setup. Stay tuned as we will cover SSO in future installments. Single Sign On allows a user to access multiple Oracle web applications with a single user name and password that is authenticated against the OAS and Oracle database environments. Identity management provides many security administration functions to streamline access to Oracle web systems such as Single Sign On (SSO) authentication. One key area within the Oracle Application Server that is poorly understood is Identity Management. Oracle recommends at least a 2-3 tiered approach to optimize performance and provide for optional load balancing solution. Metadata Repository which is an Oracle 10g database which stores metadata for OAS application services such as OID and Identity Management: includes Oracle Internet Directory(OID), Single Sign On (SSO) The infrastructure architecture of Oracle 10g Application Server consists of two core technical items: Infrastructure Components of OracleAS 10gR2: Oracle Wireless: for handheld wireless devices to access web rich database applications Oracle Portal: rich web based content management system for portlets and web applications OC4J server which is the Oracle Container for Java Enterprise Edition and the heart of the Oracle 10g Application Server Middle Tier Oracle 10g Application Server (10.1.2 OracleAS)
Oracle Application Server Web Cache (optional): provides enhancement in performance for caching web page contentĪnd some software based load balancing features Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) which is the Oracle modified version of the Apache HTTP server with a few twists unique to Oracle First, lets review the components of the middle tier for Oracle 10g Application server. In essence, we have an n-tiered architecture that makes up the structure for an Oracle 10gAS environment: web tier, middle tier, and infrastructure. The infrastructure is an optional enterprise tech stack that is not always required. In a standard OAS installation, one only needs to use the middle tier application server for most purposes. What are the components of the Oracle 10g Application Server? There are two major pieces: the middle tier application server and the second technical stack is called the Infrastructure. Since Fusion Middleware is a suite of 200+ products, we will only cover Application Server for the time being in our Fusion Middleware series before we move onto other core topics such as BPEL and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).
It is the heart of many core Oracle enterprise technologies such as Oracle EBS and additional technologies that require web inter/intranet functionality.įor our case study, we will use a full blown installation of Oracle 10gR2 Application Server (10.1.2.0.2) on the Oracle Enterprise 5 Linux 32 bit platform (OEL 5.3). What is the Oracle Application Server (OAS) ? The Oracle 10gAS is a robust technology that provides a multitude of web serverĪnd rich content management functions for customer applications.
How to configure the complex identity management piece (IdM) for Oracle 10gR2 Application Server (OAS)īy using the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) component of the Oracle 10g Application Server infrastructure. Part III: Performance Tuning Oracle Application ServerĪs part of our new Fusion Middleware series of tips for Oracle database technology, this week will cover Part II: Tips and Tricks for Monitoring and Troubleshooting Oracle Application Server The following will be topics for Fusion Middleware: Our series continues for Oracle Fusion Middleware technology with a focus on Oracle Application Server (10gAS).
