Integrating the OUD and EUS: User Identities in the OUD

To integrate the Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) with Enterprise User Security (EUS), the following has to be performed:

•  Configuring EUS for an OUD server
•  Modifying the OUD Configuration for EUS
•  Configuring the Oracle Database for the OUD

Configuring EUS for an OUD server

EUS can be configured for an OUD server using one of the following options:

1. Enabling EUS during instance creation
2. Enabling EUS for an existing instance

This post outlines steps for enabling EUS during instance creation.

Assumptions:

• OUD base product binaries are already installed.
• A WebLogic domain is created for ODSM.
• An instance has yet to be created or a new instance will be created for EUS.

To setup an OUD instance using GUI:

• Change to the ORACLE_HOME sub directory for OUD (i.e., where you have installed the software)

cd OUD-base-location

Ensure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set.

• Run OUD-setup; this will create an OUD instance.

   

  1. Click Next on first screen.
  2. Provide details for the server settings.
  3. Since enabling EUS requires an SSL, configure an SSL.
  4. Select your topology, if required.
  5. Provide the base DN details.
  6. Select Enable EUS on Oracle Components Integration screen; click Next.
  7. Review your configuration details; click Finish.

Screenshots for reference:

Login to ODSM

• Navigate to http://oud-hostname:port/odsm.
• Create a connection for the newly created OUD instance and login.
•  Trust the certificate.
• Go to the data browser and validate the following:
  • When EUS is selected, in addition to creating this suffix, two suffixes are created automatically:  “cn=oracleschemaversion” and “cn=oraclecontext.”
  • An EUS workflow element is also added in front of the local  backend workflow element.
  • A DN renaming workflow element for “cn=schema” is added, so that it can  be accessed using the “cn=subschemasubentry” DN.

After the OUD has been enabled for EUS, the realm information must be updated in the OUD configuration by performing the following steps:

Locate the LDIF template file at install_dir/config/EUS/modifyRealm.ldif

• Edit the modifyRealm.ldif file as follows:
• Replace dc=example,dc=com with the correct naming context for your server instance.
• Replace ou=people and ou=groups with the correct location of the user and group entries in your DIT.
• Use the ldapmodify command to update the configuration with the edited LDIF template file. For example:

ldapmodify -h oud.ziontech.net -p 1636 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -Z -v -f /opt/app/middleware/Oracle_OUD1/config/EUS/modifyRealm.ldif

With this, we have an OUD instance ready for EUS. The next steps are to prepare the database and create user mappings.
