This is the beginning of a 10-part video tutorial / walk through series on how to install the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g stack.

There are a couple points to make here before you begin:

• This is how I did it via discovery. There’s probably other ways, but this worked for me.
• Some of the more minor mistakes / corrections I made while recording these were left in on purpose so that if you run into something similar, you’d know how to troubleshoot it. So watch it through before copying exactly what I did.
• These are given “as-is” and offer no warranty what-so-ever! If you try to implement this exactly on a clients site and you get laughed out the door, sued, or your computer blows up, I hold no responsibility!
• Oracle has nothing to do with these. I made them myself, using freely distributed software and my own brain.
• All versions are of the 11.1.1.3 stack. DO NOT INTERMIX ANY 11.1.1.4 COMPONENTS! IT WON’T WORK!

That’s about it, so let’s get on with it!

Part 1 – Installing Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 3 on VMWare

This video tutorial will walk you though the installation procedure for Oracle’s Enterprise Linux (OEL) Version 5 Update 3. I will also setup the VM a little by installing VMWare tools on Linux. This can be downloaded via Oracle’s e-Delivery system.

Ok… after a ton of debating and drinking, I’ve finally come to a conclusion.

On what, you ask?

Well, over the past few weeks, I’ve been giving myself a crash-course on the new 11g stack for Oracle’s Identity Management Fusion Middleware. During this time, I finally figured out how to get everything installed (on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 3):

• Oracle Identity Manger 11g
• Oracle Access Manager 11g
• Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 11g
• Oracle Identity Federation 11g
• Oracle Internet Directory 11g
• Oracle Virtual Directory 11g
• Oracle HTTP Server
• Oracle Directory Integration Platform 11g
• Oracle WebLogic Server 11g
• Oracle Database 11gR2
• Oracle Identity Navigator 11g
• Oracle Authorization Policy Manager
• Oracle Platform Security Services

While doing this, I learned a lot…. srsly…

More importantly, I captured the whole process on video, and made video tutorials / guides on how to install and configure each product. Since it’s a video, you’ll also see a few mistakes that I made along the way, this way if the same happens in the future, the fixes are documented.

There are some documents out there, a few blogs with some high-level steps, and one guy I know is selling an eBook on the install process for about $100 (and it’s probably worth it!), so now my dilemma is two fold:

1. Should I make this information that’s worth more than gold available to others?

2. If so, how much should I charge?

Now back to the “I’ve made a decision” part:

1. Yes, I’m going to release these videos to the public.

2. I’m going to charge $1,000.

Hahahah… just kidding =)

I’ll be giving them away free, right here!

Once I get the write-up’s done, and the videos uploaded, I’ll starting posting the videos on my blog for everyone to use.

DONE!

It’s like trying to find a damn leprechaun…

Here’s the details on how to patch it: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E18749_01/download_readme.htm#BABFICJA

Here’s the link to download the Oracle Identity and Access Management 11.1.1.4 patch set: https://updates.oracle.com/download/11060972.html

And here’s how to download the Identity Management 11.1.1.4 patch set:

1. Go to Oracle’s eDelivery site: https://edelivery.oracle.com/

2. Select Product Pack: Oracle Fusion Middleware and your platform

3. Select Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack

4. Scroll down and download the item: Oracle Identity Management 11g Patch Set 3 (11.1.1.4.0)

Sheesh, that’s a pain in the ass.

The beautiful thing about installing Oracle Database (11g in this case), is that when you reboot the linux machine, it doesn’t come back up. Also, there isn’t a singular command that starts it up either.

Awesome.

My biggest hurdle was figuring out how to start the Enterprise Manager web console. I knew that if I could get that up and running, I should be ok.

Trial by fire:

Error #1: Environment variable ORACLE_UNQNAME not defined. Please set ORACLE_UNQNAME to database unique name.

Solution #1: Remember, we’re talking linux here, so run: export ORACLE_UNQNAME=[Global Database Name]    (it’s default is orcl)

Error #2: [ORACLE_HOME]/localhost.localdomain_[DB NAME] not found.

Solution #2: This happens because if you don’t have ORACLE_HOSTNAME set, it’ll pull the domain name out of the first line of your /etc/hosts file (which is localhost.localdomain by default on OEL5). Just edit the hosts file, or edit the variable.

Now you should be able to run: emctl start dbconsole

Because Oracle likes to make finding anything useful on their site damn near impossible, I’ve put together OracleIdentityManger.com with all the direct links that we need. You know, things like documentation, downloads, certification matrixes.

I just finished updating the pages with all the 11g info and I fixed a lot of the broken links to the 10g stuff as well (because oracle also doesn’t like to leave stuff in one place… ,making bookmarking impossible). So if you haven’t already, bookmark OracleIdentityManager.com =)

Next up: OracleAccessManager.com

So you want to upgrade your OIM environment, but you’ve come across your first roadblock: Where the hell do I get the patches?

If you try Google, you’ll get nada. You try Metalink, and you’re in a world of hurt. I’m pretty sure Oracle obfuscates their information on purpose. I’m not sure of the monetary gain on their part for this yet, but there has to be an angle to making a support system work so horribly.

To the meat!

You can find your upgrade path to all major point numbers and Bundle Patches here:

https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&doctype=FAQ&id=883069.1

It also lists direct links to the downloads.

Later!
