High performance, High availablity in Oracle Application Server
Last update: Aug, 10, 10:53 (11g Download!)Ambitious?
Here is what I want to do. I have done setups according to the Enterprise Deployment Guide, ending up with a configuration similar to what you can see here, and I've also witnessed stuff, described in numerous metalink articles (so it must be hard :) ) and in the High Availability Guide, that lead to this.
Now, for some reason, my current assignment does not allow RAC setups. Reasoning fails, but I have given up after a year-and-a-half: "This is the first release of RAC - we don't do first releases". Which is crap, of course , since the predecessors have been around some 8 (yes - eight) releases: 7.1, 7.2, 7,3, 8.0, 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.1 and now 10.2. Thanks to Oracle Marketing...
Anyway, that leads to a point where the database has become the single point of failure, when using the Enterprise setup. This setup uses the same (Clustered) database as OID storage, as well as the Application Server Repository.
Using the High Availability Guide, you will not have High Performance: as one link in the chain breaks, the whole chain is unavailable - you will still have the parallel chain, so availability does not suffer, just performance. This is due to the fact the databases do act as backups for OID, but not for the Application Server Metadata!
So, where the first setup is clustered on Application Server level, the second is not. Where the second setup allows one chain to become completely, or partially unavailable, the first approach will fail in the database department (which is not, and cannot be RAC!). What I want is best of both! I want Application Server Clustering, and Load Balancing, and Replication and Fail-Over! So, there you have it.
Ambitious? Sure!
Can it be done? Well, I actually don't know. You are here to find out.
When do you know? Well, at the end of the story, and this may become a lengthy one. I do not want to split is, as I did with the Enterprise Security entries, so I will update this article as I go.
Preparations
I have to my disposal three machines, all equipped with two harddisks. The latest replacement is equipped with an Intel E6600 processor, 4GB ram and two 320GiB SATA disks. It replaced the AMD 2100+ with 1.5GB memory and two 80GB ATA100 disks in a stripe set.
For test purposes, I already had a "server", which has been used before.
Both machines have been rebuilt, using the previous post.
All three machines are interconnected via a gigabit switch, using proper, short, 1GB certified network cables. The gigabit ethernet interfaces are the onboard ones, and price of the switch is not an issue anymore.
So much for the hardware; as for the software, better start early, as there is some 6,832MB (well over 6GB!) to be downloaded! Of course, the 400MB from CentOS is already completed. That leaves:
Installation
Once done downloading the software, and redistributing over all systems (see the previous post), I started installing.
Installation phase 1: the databases
Well, nothing much to tell about installing that base and patch level on Windows, but for some tricks:
Installation phase 2: create the Repository
Unpack the zip file, and install the Metadata Repository Creation Assistant. After that, just run the bloody thing - not much to tell here, apart from the strange behavior where 23 datafiles, totalling 1.4GB of diskspace gets written, deleted and written again. I chose to have the repository related files all in one location (hey - this is just a demo!), but separate them from the other database datafiles, by using a one level deeper subdirectory "rep".
If the checks on paramaters fail, alter them. This is a fairly easy install.
Installation phase 3: prepare for Replication - create the second instance
I used RMAN clone database for this. I need a (clean) backup anyway, so here we go. There are two stages: making the backup, and restoring the clone:
Phase 3a: backup.
Open a Command Line Interface (MS Windows: Run-> cmd, *ix: your favorite shell)
set your environment variables
Phase 3b: clone.
Create the (empty) directories for the clone (data/admin)
Copy init.ora and alter directory paths and instancename
Add newly created instance to tnsnames.ora and listener.ora.
Start listener.
MS Windows only: create the service:
Open a Command Line Interface (MS Windows: Run-> cmd)
Create passwordfile:
orapwd.exe file=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\PWDoidrep.ora password=oracle force=y
set oracle_sid=oidrep
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup nomount pfile=D:\oracle\admin\oidrep\pfile\initoidrep.ora
exit
Let's clone!
That is it! This is a screen scrape from the actual session (some lines are snipped for brevity):
So - all in all the cloning took 13 minutes.
In contrast to earlier releases, that did not create the tempfile, belonging to the temporary tablespace, there is no more need to create a tempfile - it's there!
Bounce the db, to make sure the spfile is picked up
No worries about dbid, either...
That concludes the database preparations.
Installation phase 4: prepare the Network
I made a distinction between two stages: getting the balancer, and adding virtual addresses.
First off, a little bit about the setup. As said earlier on, I (only) have 3 machines, and the complete configuration requires ate least four, better yet, six. As 6=3*2, every machine gets a double function, some even triple functions (and no - you do not want to VMWare this - your host will not cope with it...)
Phase 4a: get, make and install balance.Logon to your machines as root. I need the c-compiler, so let's get it:
Next, download the source tarball from http://www.inlab.de/balance-3.35.tar.gz to /install
Now, if you would run make make install at this stage, you would get a (minor) error; there's a slight typographical error on line 11 of the makefile, so change the Makefile file:
And run "make install":
Not doing so, will lead to this error:
No harm done, simply edit the Makefile, and rerun... Failure to do so will not have any effect on the program, you just will not have the man-pages.
Phase 4b: virtual addresses and names to your local network.
Remember, basically, I wanted:
So, network wise, I would need:
Physically, I have used the machine names OIDHOST and IDMHOST so far. See previous posting about that. What I'm going to do, is install the first OID and IDM installs on the OIDHOST and IDMHOST repectively, and the second OID and IDM installs go on the IDMHOST and OIDHOST respectively.
Both application servers will serve OID as well as IDM:
This leads to:
In addition: db1020.home.local resides on 192.128.1.104, as does oidrep, the replication instance.
Let's add the addresses:
On IDMHOST:
On OIDHOST:
Check by running ifconfig:
You may alse define (permanent) virtual addresses here. If you insist on doing it by hand, create the appropiate files (ifcfg-eth0:1, etc) in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
Alternatively, add the ifconfig eth0:1 lines to /etc/rc.local:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.215
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.216
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.1.217
Change the hosts files on all machines, under Linux, it is /etc/hosts:
Do not foget to add these to the database host (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc)! Failing in doing so will reslove in nasty install errors
Let's reboot the systems to see if everything acts as we want: reboot -n
Try to ping every host defined, from every machine. If that is successfull, let's do the vandango:
Similar:
That concludes phase 4.
Installation phase 5: Oracle Internet DirectoryPhase 5a: Preliminaries.
On both machines, create distinct groups and user:
[root@oidhost ~]# groupadd oidown
[root@oidhost ~]# groupadd oidinst
[root@oidhost ~]# useradd oidoracle -g oidinst -G oidown -c 'Oracle Internet Directory software owner'
[root@oidhost ~]# passwd oidoracle
Changing password for user oidoracle.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Make sure I can unpack the cpio and zipped files in the /install directory (which is not owned by oidoracle!)
[root@oidhost ~]# chmod 777 /install
Create the installation directory, and change ownership:
[root@oidhost ~]# mkdir -p /oracle/ias/oraInventory
[root@oidhost ~]# chown -R oidoracle:oidown /oracle
[root@oidhost ~]# su - oidoracle
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ cd /install
[oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cpio -idmv< /install/as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk1.cpio [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cpio -idmv< /install/as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk2.cpio [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cpio -idmv< /install/as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk3.cpio [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cpio -idmv< /install/as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk4.cpio [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ unzip p4960210_10122_LINUX.zip -d p4960210 [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ unzip p5901894_10122_LINUX.zip -d p5901894 [oidoracle@oidhost install]$ unzip p5922121_10122_LINUX.zip -d p5922121
Phase 5a: first OID install.
I was planning on using non-default ports, so let's do some prepartion for that:
[oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cp Disk1/stage/Response/staticports.ini /oracle/ias/staticports.ini
Now, I need to make the installer aware of the fact, I want ports 3060 and 3130 to be used. The interesting part of staticports.ini:
# Infrastructure
Oracle Internet Directory port = 3060
Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 3130
#Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Server Authentication port = port_num
#Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Mutual Authentication port = port_num
#Ultra Search HTTP port number = port_num
OK - let's fire up the installer:
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.104:0.0
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ /install/Disk1/runInstaller
Enter the correct locations, and...
Let's do what is asked for...
Once more - correct locations...
Infrastucture install...
Let's do Identity Management.
Yeah - don't feel like upping it even further - besides, these are the values, specified in the Linux Installation Manual... Just mark them as okay, and continue.
Of course we have root priveleges - I am not really going to upload a picture showing how to confirm that, just continue to the next:
Remember the envisioned setup: The LDAP services (OID) and Integration will be running here, and the rest (SSO and DAS, no CA this time) on the Identity Management Host (idmhost.home.local)
With all the preparations, make sure we use them! Select the correct file.
Ebter the correct data, and...
What the ...?!? The Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository is not compatible?!? I checked and doublechecked versions - no error there! Back to the drawingboard!
Update:
As far as I can tell, Metalink came up empty, Google came up empty and so did tahiti. I admit, I did not look at all references matching my search criteria, because a lot of hits are about backwards compatibility problems. And I know for a fact, the MCRA versions 10.1.2.0.0 and 10.1.2.0.2 are incompatble, too.
The screen itself leaves no room for informative queries, so all that is left is the log file of the installation itself. This looks like:
What I understand from this, is the fact that OID is not configured, causes the installer to abort. Of course OID isn't configured - I choose to install that!
Anyway - somewhere deep (in /install/Disk1/stage/Queries/DBConnectQueries/8.2/1) there is a file, called DBConnectQueries.jar. Opening it, and searching for GetRepositoryVer showed some interesting stuff (like the development machine, syndey.oracle.com, with system password!), like:
I cannot tell where the second query comes in, but the first does resolve:
I fired up the MRCA again, and tried to redo the install. Nope - remove first, and only then install... Remove drops objects, before dropping tablespaces. There is a faster way to do that... had to do it twice, no indication why, the last line of the first sessions' log reads:
During the process, I observed:
That seems to be different from where I started - but the MCRA did finish OK...
Well, back to cloning and then retry the install!
Update:Started the machines, database instance and listener, balancer om both machines.
Checked hosts. Installer continued smoothly this time:
I left it for what it was - you may consider otherwise, especially when you have plans on extending the root entry (.local, in this case). For .com it may not be such a problem, but for .nl it will be - imagine your company extends abroad. In that case, consider a megalomaniac '.world' as root: your.company.nl.world can expand into your.other.be.world.
MDS stands for Master Definition Site...
229 products(!) to be installed. And I did not even select all options!
Let's take a closer look at the log, then:
OK - see if the process actually runs; switch to $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin, and:
Still - retry fails. Then I realize, I already switched on loadbalancing... and sure enough, after killing these balance processes, the wizards continued, only to fail once more:
This is a bit of a silly error message: opmn cannot start the process, because I already started it! Resolution: stop the process manually:
Some (actually, a lot) of wizards later, this is the reward:
Update: (Phase 5c-second OID install)Started both instances, and opened the databases. Logged on to oidhost, and changed .bash_profile; added those lines:
That allows me to:
Logged on to the idmhost, with oidoracle account. Editied the localhosts file again, with the following contents:
Fired up the installer:
Only screens that do differ from above are loaded:
Select three options: Internet Directory, Directory Integration and HA/Replication.
Indicate the correct location of the staticports.ini file.
I had to use SYSTEM here - could not get SYS to work:
Hmmmmmm.... I don't want to choose here! I want both. Maybe this is the reason clustered installs don't replicate? In this manner, there are two farms, and farms cannot cluster. Only whatever application server instance belongs to the farm, can participate in a cluster: 1 farm == 1 repository.
Maybe when I base the instance on a file-based repository, on a shared disk?!?
Next screen, select Replication:
Next screen, select Advanced Replication.
Now, this one is tricky: it states "Master Node", where in fact, this is the second install. True, but this is Multi Master Replication, so in fact: there are no masters (or everyone is the master)!
Same here: "Master", but watch out: the data entered actually refers to the real master, the first installed instance: oidhost.home.local!
Provide the correct connection information, and get used to the "cn=" notation - this is LDAP land... Note the naming of the instance: rms, as in "Replicated Master Site".
That's it... the installer will install, the wizzards wizz, and it all ends in:
Update: Something went wrong, I noticed after reflection. I miss one installer screen; the one that allows me to select the (virtual) ip address and (virtual) server name! It should have been presented because of the changes I made to oraparam.ini (SHOW_HOSTNAME=ALWAYS_SHOW) .
Update:
Before attempting to get replication to work, I'll need to fix the network component. That means adding the "other" entry to each tnsnames.ora, so each file is identical:
It also means, I need to add a default domain - OID seems to make it a habit of sometimes using a domain qualified call, sometimes not. Consequently, db1020 as well as db1020.home.local must be resolved. Added this to sqlnet.ora:
The same is true for the database server(s); they need to be able to connect lateron - afterall, it is database based replication, not Application Server!
Next stop: replication!
Update: (Phase 6 - install Replication)
After all these preparations, starting replication should be quite easy: use the remtool (reminding me of a REMoval tool, what's in a name?): (some logging has been snipped to save space)
If the setup fails with
Now, start replication services, and see if they run:
Same thing on other machine:
Well, fire up the Directory Manager, connect to both LDAP servers, and navigate to cn=Entry Management,dc=local,dc=home,cn=users,cn=orcladmin.
On the first machine, oidhost, you will see this (notice the timestamp):
The replicated machine, idmhost, will show this:
Note, not only are the timestamps the same, and I did not do the two installs simultaniously, but the modifiersname is the replication process:
Update:
Starting up all processes (e.g. after a startup; I do not leave my test machines on 24*7), is as easy as 1-2-3:
This odisrv is a bit of a nag. It is running perfectly on the other machine:
However, opmnctl does not seem to control it, after a few stopall and startall, I had this:
Oh well. What bothers me is the fact odisrv does not run on idmhost; the log shows:
On odihost, the correct startup message in the log:
Update: (don't try this - see below)
Change the port on idmhost.home.local from 389 to 3060, ran dcmctl updateconfig.
Then, I ran this, and all of a sudden, it worked!
[oidoracle@idmhost log]$ odisrvreg -D cn=orcladmin -w Welcome1 -p 3060
Registering for the first time...
DIS registration successful.
[oidoracle@idmhost log]$ $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/ldapcheck
Checking Oracle Internet Directory Processes ...ALL
Process oidmon is Alive as PID 5645
Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 5648
Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 5660
Process oidrepld is Alive as PID 5697
Process odisrv is Alive as PID 5964
I'd have expected the odisrvreg utility to report "already registered - updating". This leaves a somewhat eery feeling; anyone knowing what is going on, please comment!
I'll update myself on that: the odisrv process does not need to run on both sides - it's supposed to failover. However, I still fail to see how - I even tried kill -9 (all processes), but could not get odisrv to start on the other node.
Let's continue with phase 7: installation of the middle tier:
Machines are fired up, all processes are up-and-running.
Phase 7a: Preliminaries (see phase 5a).
Phase 7b: Install first middle tier (SSO and DAS server).
Now, fire up Cywin X server, and:
frankbo@cs-frank03 ~
$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
frankbo@cs-frank03 ~
$ ssh idmoracle@idmhost
idmoracle@idmhost's password:
Last login: Sun Jul 8 14:35:34 2007 from dbhost.home.local
[idmoracle@idmhost ~]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.104:0.0
[idmoracle@idmhost ~]$ /install/Disk1/runInstaller -invPtrLoc /oracle/idm/oraInventory/oraInst.loc
Fill in the correct settings:
Ditto:
It's still called "Infrastructure", although this is the middle tier:
And I still am not done with the Identity Management Install:
Oh, well, we've been here before...
So let's get started - note I added HA and Replication:
Select the correct file - it needs to pick up the ports actually in use by the OID install (phase 5)
This is an odd one: I am *not* adding a listener, so why this check is executed is beyond me. The resolution is to stop the services on this machine (logon as oidoracle, and issue an opmnctl stopall, or stopproc ias-component=OID)
Once the "error" hurdle is taken, select Cluster:
First install, so I have to create a cluster:
Name it:
Specify correct host; I had the "crossed" setup, so this SSO install (middle tier) will be served by the first install of the Infrastructure, which was on the oidhost:
Specify the password of orcladmin on the OID host:
I make a mistake here - specified the port, as used in metalink note 370458.1. Consequently, I had to change the loadbalancer:
balance -b login.home.local http idm1:7779 % idm2:7779 %
Make up a password, or -better yet- have one generated:
And finally - after a while, and the execution of the (in-)famous root.sh script:
This is what the last screen has to tell:
Now - let me see if the loadbalancer works.
The defaul (login.home.local) Delegated Administration Service page:
After a successfull login:
After Logout, the node information is shown:
Ok - next step: phase 7c: passwordsI need to synchronize all passwords. One of the installation Wizards did randomize all passwords used in this setup. As connections may float, I do want passwords to be the same on both nodes. The script ssoReplSetup.jar is a Java script, residing in $ORACLE_HOME/sso/lib.

Same thing needs to be done on the replicated site, idmhost.home.local. I found it not very clear whether this should be done in the middle tier, or in the infrastructure - the notes suggest the first, and so does the point in time: after the first middle-tier install.
Rest assured: it should run from the infrastructure - the sites, where the OID processes and replication run.
All that is left to install now, is the last middle tier:
The installation is the same as the first one, except for some names, that are different (obviously): the cluster is called SSOClusterB (could have been the same, by the way), the ldapserver is idmhost.home.local (I am installing on oidhost!), so I will not post any screendumps of that.
Instead, stay tuned for replication woes, and usage notes.
Last and Final Update:
To show that the whole things is two-fold:
There you have it - two partner applications.
In a nutshell:
Here is what I want to do. I have done setups according to the Enterprise Deployment Guide, ending up with a configuration similar to what you can see here, and I've also witnessed stuff, described in numerous metalink articles (so it must be hard :) ) and in the High Availability Guide, that lead to this.
Now, for some reason, my current assignment does not allow RAC setups. Reasoning fails, but I have given up after a year-and-a-half: "This is the first release of RAC - we don't do first releases". Which is crap, of course , since the predecessors have been around some 8 (yes - eight) releases: 7.1, 7.2, 7,3, 8.0, 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.1 and now 10.2. Thanks to Oracle Marketing...
Anyway, that leads to a point where the database has become the single point of failure, when using the Enterprise setup. This setup uses the same (Clustered) database as OID storage, as well as the Application Server Repository.
Using the High Availability Guide, you will not have High Performance: as one link in the chain breaks, the whole chain is unavailable - you will still have the parallel chain, so availability does not suffer, just performance. This is due to the fact the databases do act as backups for OID, but not for the Application Server Metadata!
So, where the first setup is clustered on Application Server level, the second is not. Where the second setup allows one chain to become completely, or partially unavailable, the first approach will fail in the database department (which is not, and cannot be RAC!). What I want is best of both! I want Application Server Clustering, and Load Balancing, and Replication and Fail-Over! So, there you have it.
Ambitious? Sure!
Can it be done? Well, I actually don't know. You are here to find out.
When do you know? Well, at the end of the story, and this may become a lengthy one. I do not want to split is, as I did with the Enterprise Security entries, so I will update this article as I go.
Preparations
I have to my disposal three machines, all equipped with two harddisks. The latest replacement is equipped with an Intel E6600 processor, 4GB ram and two 320GiB SATA disks. It replaced the AMD 2100+ with 1.5GB memory and two 80GB ATA100 disks in a stripe set.
For test purposes, I already had a "server", which has been used before.
Both machines have been rebuilt, using the previous post.
All three machines are interconnected via a gigabit switch, using proper, short, 1GB certified network cables. The gigabit ethernet interfaces are the onboard ones, and price of the switch is not an issue anymore.
So much for the hardware; as for the software, better start early, as there is some 6,832MB (well over 6GB!) to be downloaded! Of course, the 400MB from CentOS is already completed. That leaves:
- Downloads from oracle:
- 10G release2 Database (640MB for the Windows version)
- 10G Release2 Companion (another 640MB for the Windows version)
- Patch 10.2.0.3 (almost 900MB for Windows)
- CPU Apr2007 for the database (another 140MB)
- iAS 10G release 2 (2 GB in 4 cpio files)
- iAS 10G release 2 patchset (4960210 - 1.7GB)
- CPU Apr2007 patches for Identity Management and OID installs - some 12 MB
- Metadata Repository Creation Assistant V10.1.2.0.2 (400MB zipfile)
I chose the Windows version; basically it does not matter, it executes against remote databases
- Balance (http://www.inlab.de/balance.html)
Installation
Once done downloading the software, and redistributing over all systems (see the previous post), I started installing.
Installation phase 1: the databases
Well, nothing much to tell about installing that base and patch level on Windows, but for some tricks:
- Install the baseline version of the software, do not create a database, or select a prebaked one.
- Install ultraSearch from the Companion CD.
- Patch software, twice (patches 5337014 and 5948242)

db_cache_size=144M
undo_management=AUTO
undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS1
aq_tm_processes=2
shared_pool_size=175M
java_pool_size=120M
Installation phase 2: create the Repository
Unpack the zip file, and install the Metadata Repository Creation Assistant. After that, just run the bloody thing - not much to tell here, apart from the strange behavior where 23 datafiles, totalling 1.4GB of diskspace gets written, deleted and written again. I chose to have the repository related files all in one location (hey - this is just a demo!), but separate them from the other database datafiles, by using a one level deeper subdirectory "rep".
If the checks on paramaters fail, alter them. This is a fairly easy install.
Installation phase 3: prepare for Replication - create the second instance
I used RMAN clone database for this. I need a (clean) backup anyway, so here we go. There are two stages: making the backup, and restoring the clone:
Phase 3a: backup.
Open a Command Line Interface (MS Windows: Run-> cmd, *ix: your favorite shell)
set your environment variables
RMAN target / shutdown startup mount backup database;
Phase 3b: clone.
Create the (empty) directories for the clone (data/admin)
Copy init.ora and alter directory paths and instancename
Add newly created instance to tnsnames.ora and listener.ora.
Start listener.
MS Windows only: create the service:
Open a Command Line Interface (MS Windows: Run-> cmd)
oradim -new -sid oidrep -pfile D:\oracle\admin\oidrep\pfile\initoidrep.ora
Create passwordfile:
orapwd.exe file=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\PWDoidrep.ora password=oracle force=y
set oracle_sid=oidrep
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup nomount pfile=D:\oracle\admin\oidrep\pfile\initoidrep.ora
exit
Let's clone!
set oracle_sid=db1020 rman connect target / connect auxiliary sys/oracle@oidrep.home.local duplicate target database to oidrep pfile=D:\oracle\admin\oidrep\pfile\initoidrep.ora db_file_name_convert=( 'D:\oracle\oradata\db1020', 'D:\oracle\oradata\oidrep', 'D:\oracle\oradata\db1020\rep', 'D:\oracle\oradata\oidrep\rep') logfile 'D:\oracle\oradata\oidrep\redo01.log' size 100M, 'D:\oracle\oradata\oidrep\redo02.log' size 100M, 'D:\oracle\oradata\oidrep\redo03.log' size 100M;
That is it! This is a screen scrape from the actual session (some lines are snipped for brevity):

So - all in all the cloning took 13 minutes.
In contrast to earlier releases, that did not create the tempfile, belonging to the temporary tablespace, there is no more need to create a tempfile - it's there!

No worries about dbid, either...
That concludes the database preparations.
Installation phase 4: prepare the Network
I made a distinction between two stages: getting the balancer, and adding virtual addresses.
First off, a little bit about the setup. As said earlier on, I (only) have 3 machines, and the complete configuration requires ate least four, better yet, six. As 6=3*2, every machine gets a double function, some even triple functions (and no - you do not want to VMWare this - your host will not cope with it...)
Phase 4a: get, make and install balance.Logon to your machines as root. I need the c-compiler, so let's get it:
yum install gcc
Next, download the source tarball from http://www.inlab.de/balance-3.35.tar.gz to /install
[root@idmhost ~]# cd /install/ [root@idmhost install]# gunzip balance-3.35.tar.gz [root@idmhost install]# tar -xf balance-3.35.tar [root@idmhost install]# cd balance-3.35
Now, if you would run make make install at this stage, you would get a (minor) error; there's a slight typographical error on line 11 of the makefile, so change the Makefile file:
#MANDIR=${BINDIR}/../man/man1
MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man1
And run "make install":
[root@idmhost balance-3.35]# make install install -o root -g root -m 755 balance \ /usr/sbin/balance install -o root -g root -m 755 balance.1 \ /usr/share/man/man1 mkdir -p /var/run/balance chmod 1777 /var/run/balance [root@idmhost balance-3.35]#
Not doing so, will lead to this error:
[root@idmhost balance-3.35]# make install install -o root -g root -m 755 balance \ /usr/sbin/balance install -o root -g root -m 755 balance.1 \ /usr/sbin/../man/man1 install: cannot create regular file `/usr/sbin/../man/man1': No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 [root@idmhost balance-3.35]#
No harm done, simply edit the Makefile, and rerun... Failure to do so will not have any effect on the program, you just will not have the man-pages.
Phase 4b: virtual addresses and names to your local network.
Remember, basically, I wanted:
- A load-balanced request to two SSO servers.
- Those SSO servers request a loadbalanced OID.
- Those two OID processes use SQL*Net time out and loadbalancing to query two active databases, which are clones of eachother.
So, network wise, I would need:
- Two SSO instances (addresses: IDM_IP1 and IDM_IP2), being served by a loadbalancer. This loadbalancer is actually a HTTP balancer, serving the SSO and DAS pages (the Identity Management Layer).
As you do not want to bother people with the distinction between IDM_IP1 or IDM_IP2, the balancer should have a name. From now on, that is login.home.local. Ip address is IDM_IP0. - The SSO/DAS pages are requesing OID services through a load balancer, but that is an LDAP loadbalancer. It only needs to server LDAP requests (I am going to use the non-priveleged port range, 3060 (non-ssl) and 3130 (SSL), in stead of the default 386 and 636).
Physically, I have used the machine names OIDHOST and IDMHOST so far. See previous posting about that. What I'm going to do, is install the first OID and IDM installs on the OIDHOST and IDMHOST repectively, and the second OID and IDM installs go on the IDMHOST and OIDHOST respectively.
Both application servers will serve OID as well as IDM:
IDMHOST: IDM1 OID2 OIDHOST: IDM2 OID1The first loadbalancer, the HTTP one, will sit on IDMHOST, the second will sit on OIDHOST.
This leads to:
IDMHOST/original address: 192.168.1.220 IDMHOST/IDM1 address: 192.168.1.225 IDMHOST/OID2 address: 192.168.1.226 IDMHOST/login.home.local: 192.168.1.227 OIDHOST/original address: 192.168.1.210 OIDHOST/IDM2 address: 192.168.1.215 OIDHOST/OID1 address: 192.168.1.216 OIDHOST/ldapbal.home.local: 192.168.1.217
In addition: db1020.home.local resides on 192.128.1.104, as does oidrep, the replication instance.
Let's add the addresses:
On IDMHOST:
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.225 ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.226 ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.1.227
On OIDHOST:
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.215 ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.216 ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.1.217
Check by running ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:4A:BC:2A inet addr:192.168.1.210 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:daff:fe4a:bc2a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12641 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:0 TX packets:9048 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:9696620 (9.2 MiB) TX bytes:1106121 (1.0 MiB) Interrupt:169 Base address:0xd800 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:4A:BC:2A inet addr:192.168.1.215 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:169 Base address:0xd800 eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:4A:BC:2A inet addr:192.168.1.216 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:169 Base address:0xd800 eth0:3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:4A:BC:2A inet addr:192.168.1.217 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:169 Base address:0xd800Or use Webmin, the Networking entry, Network Configuration, Network Interfaces.
You may alse define (permanent) virtual addresses here. If you insist on doing it by hand, create the appropiate files (ifcfg-eth0:1, etc) in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:
BOOTPROTO=none DEVICE=eth0:1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 MTU=1500 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONPARENT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.225 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes
Alternatively, add the ifconfig eth0:1 lines to /etc/rc.local:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.215
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.216
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:3 192.168.1.217
Change the hosts files on all machines, under Linux, it is /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.210 oidhost.home.local 192.168.1.220 idmhost.home.local 192.168.1.104 dbhost.home.local 192.168.1.225 idm1.home.local idm1 192.168.1.226 oid2.home.local oid2 192.168.1.227 login.home.local login 192.168.1.215 idm2.home.local idm2 192.168.1.216 oid1.home.local oid1 192.168.1.217 ldapbalancer.home.local ldapbalancer
Do not foget to add these to the database host (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc)! Failing in doing so will reslove in nasty install errors
(ORA-31203: DBMS_LDAP: PL/SQL - Init Failed, java class not found)
Let's reboot the systems to see if everything acts as we want: reboot -n
Try to ping every host defined, from every machine. If that is successfull, let's do the vandango:
[root@idmhost ~]# balance -b login.home.local http idm1:http % idm2:http % [root@idmhost ~]# balance -b login.home.local https idm1:https % idm2:https %
Similar:
[root@oidhost ~]# balance -b ldapbalancer.home.local 3060 oid1:3060 oid2:3060 [root@oidhost ~]# balance -b ldapbalancer.home.local 3130 oid1:3130 oid2:3130
That concludes phase 4.
Installation phase 5: Oracle Internet DirectoryPhase 5a: Preliminaries.
On both machines, create distinct groups and user:
[root@oidhost ~]# groupadd oidown
[root@oidhost ~]# groupadd oidinst
[root@oidhost ~]# useradd oidoracle -g oidinst -G oidown -c 'Oracle Internet Directory software owner'
[root@oidhost ~]# passwd oidoracle
Changing password for user oidoracle.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Make sure I can unpack the cpio and zipped files in the /install directory (which is not owned by oidoracle!)
[root@oidhost ~]# chmod 777 /install
Create the installation directory, and change ownership:
[root@oidhost ~]# mkdir -p /oracle/ias/oraInventory
[root@oidhost ~]# chown -R oidoracle:oidown /oracle

Phase 5a: first OID install.
I was planning on using non-default ports, so let's do some prepartion for that:
[oidoracle@oidhost install]$ cp Disk1/stage/Response/staticports.ini /oracle/ias/staticports.ini
Now, I need to make the installer aware of the fact, I want ports 3060 and 3130 to be used. The interesting part of staticports.ini:
# Infrastructure
Oracle Internet Directory port = 3060
Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 3130
#Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Server Authentication port = port_num
#Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Mutual Authentication port = port_num
#Ultra Search HTTP port number = port_num
OK - let's fire up the installer:
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.104:0.0
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ /install/Disk1/runInstaller
Enter the correct locations, and...
Let's do what is asked for...
Once more - correct locations...
Infrastucture install...
Let's do Identity Management.
Yeah - don't feel like upping it even further - besides, these are the values, specified in the Linux Installation Manual... Just mark them as okay, and continue.
Of course we have root priveleges - I am not really going to upload a picture showing how to confirm that, just continue to the next:
Remember the envisioned setup: The LDAP services (OID) and Integration will be running here, and the rest (SSO and DAS, no CA this time) on the Identity Management Host (idmhost.home.local)
With all the preparations, make sure we use them! Select the correct file.
Ebter the correct data, and...
What the ...?!? The Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository is not compatible?!? I checked and doublechecked versions - no error there! Back to the drawingboard!
Update:
As far as I can tell, Metalink came up empty, Google came up empty and so did tahiti. I admit, I did not look at all references matching my search criteria, because a lot of hits are about backwards compatibility problems. And I know for a fact, the MCRA versions 10.1.2.0.0 and 10.1.2.0.2 are incompatble, too.
The screen itself leaves no room for informative queries, so all that is left is the log file of the installation itself. This looks like:
Calling Query DBConnectQueries8.2 GetSchemaVer SchemaName = *Protected value, not to be logged* SchemaPassword = *Protected value, not to be logged* ConnectString = 192.168.1.104:1521/db1020.home.local SqlQuery = select attrval from ods.ds_attrstore where entryid=1 and attrname = 'orcldirectoryversion' Query Returned: OID 10.1.2.1.0 OID Schema value returned from SQL is OID 10.1.2.1.0. Extracted version is 10.1.2.1.0. Calling Query DBConnectQueries8.2 IsOIDConfigured SchemaName = *Protected value, not to be logged* SchemaPassword = *Protected value, not to be logged* ConnectString = 192.168.1.104:1521/db1020.home.local Query Returned: false Calling Query DBConnectQueries8.2 IsUserWithDBAPriv User = *Protected value, not to be logged* Password = *Protected value, not to be logged* ConnectString = 192.168.1.104:1521/db1020.home.local Query Returned: true Calling Query DBConnectQueries8.2 GetRepositoryVer User = *Protected value, not to be logged* Password = *Protected value, not to be logged* ConnectString = 192.168.1.104:1521/db1020.home.local Query Returned: Null Using the default value for query. Error:*** Alert: The Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository that you have specified is not a compatible version for configuring Oracle Internet Directory. Please specify another database. ***
What I understand from this, is the fact that OID is not configured, causes the installer to abort. Of course OID isn't configured - I choose to install that!
Anyway - somewhere deep (in /install/Disk1/stage/Queries/DBConnectQueries/8.2/1) there is a file, called DBConnectQueries.jar. Opening it, and searching for GetRepositoryVer showed some interesting stuff (like the development machine, syndey.oracle.com, with system password!), like:
select version from app_registry where comp_id = 'MRC'; select version from ias_versions where id = 'mrc';
I cannot tell where the second query comes in, but the first does resolve:
SQL> select comp_id, version, status from app_registry; COMP_ID VERSION STATUS ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----------- PORTAL 10.1.2.0.2 VALID SSO 10.1.2.0.2 VALID WORKFLOW 10.1.2.0.2 VALID B2B 10.1.2.0.2 VALID BAM 10.1.2.0.2 VALID MRC LOADING OCA 10.1.2.0.2 VALID OID 10.1.2.0.2 VALID DCM 10.1.2.0.2 VALID DISCOVERER 10.1.2.0.2 VALID
I fired up the MRCA again, and tried to redo the install. Nope - remove first, and only then install... Remove drops objects, before dropping tablespaces. There is a faster way to do that... had to do it twice, no indication why, the last line of the first sessions' log reads:
Repository Loader actionStartingThe correct, completed session goes on after that:
Repository Loader actionStarting Repository Loader actionFinished Repository Loader ActionQueueFinished Unloading...And continues dropping tablespaces, and explaining the wizard has stopped, about twenty times. Mysteries...
During the process, I observed:

That seems to be different from where I started - but the MCRA did finish OK...
Well, back to cloning and then retry the install!
Update:Started the machines, database instance and listener, balancer om both machines.
Checked hosts. Installer continued smoothly this time:
I left it for what it was - you may consider otherwise, especially when you have plans on extending the root entry (.local, in this case). For .com it may not be such a problem, but for .nl it will be - imagine your company extends abroad. In that case, consider a megalomaniac '.world' as root: your.company.nl.world can expand into your.other.be.world.
MDS stands for Master Definition Site...
229 products(!) to be installed. And I did not even select all options!
Let's take a closer look at the log, then:
Leaving Ldap Post Installation Set File Permissions Stopping OID Server using OPMN.. Starting OID Server using OPMN.. Mon Jun 18 19:09:49 CEST 2007 Bind request issued.

Waiting for OID Server response. javax.naming.CommunicationException: oidhost.home.local:3060 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]
OK - see if the process actually runs; switch to $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin, and:
[oidoracle@oidhost bin]$ ./opmnctl status Processes in Instance: mds.oidhost.home.local -------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- ias-component | process-type | pid | status -------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- DSA | DSA | N/A | Down LogLoader | logloaderd | N/A | Down dcm-daemon | dcm-daemon | 5816 | Alive HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | N/A | Down OID | OID | N/A | DownNo wonder, OID is down... Let's just start all processes:
[oidoracle@oidhost bin]$ ./opmnctl startall opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...

Still - retry fails. Then I realize, I already switched on loadbalancing... and sure enough, after killing these balance processes, the wizards continued, only to fail once more:
This is a bit of a silly error message: opmn cannot start the process, because I already started it! Resolution: stop the process manually:
[oidoracle@oidhost bin]$ ./opmnctl stopproc type=ohs
opmnctl: stopping opmn managed processes...
opmnctl: stopping opmn managed processes...
Some (actually, a lot) of wizards later, this is the reward:
Update: (Phase 5c-second OID install)Started both instances, and opened the databases. Logged on to oidhost, and changed .bash_profile; added those lines:
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ias/oid10.1.2 export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin:$PATH
That allows me to:
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ opmnctl startall opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...

Logged on to the idmhost, with oidoracle account. Editied the localhosts file again, with the following contents:
Oracle Internet Directory port = 3060 Oracle Internet Directory (SSL) port = 3130 #Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Server Authentication port = port_num #Oracle Certificate Authority SSL Mutual Authentication port = port_num #Ultra Search HTTP port number = port_num
Fired up the installer:
[oidoracle@idmhost oracle]$ /install/Disk1/runInstaller -paramFile /oracle/ias/oraparam.ini
Only screens that do differ from above are loaded:
Select three options: Internet Directory, Directory Integration and HA/Replication.
Indicate the correct location of the staticports.ini file.
I had to use SYSTEM here - could not get SYS to work:
Hmmmmmm.... I don't want to choose here! I want both. Maybe this is the reason clustered installs don't replicate? In this manner, there are two farms, and farms cannot cluster. Only whatever application server instance belongs to the farm, can participate in a cluster: 1 farm == 1 repository.
Maybe when I base the instance on a file-based repository, on a shared disk?!?
Next screen, select Replication:
Next screen, select Advanced Replication.
Now, this one is tricky: it states "Master Node", where in fact, this is the second install. True, but this is Multi Master Replication, so in fact: there are no masters (or everyone is the master)!
Same here: "Master", but watch out: the data entered actually refers to the real master, the first installed instance: oidhost.home.local!
Provide the correct connection information, and get used to the "cn=" notation - this is LDAP land... Note the naming of the instance: rms, as in "Replicated Master Site".
That's it... the installer will install, the wizzards wizz, and it all ends in:
Update: Something went wrong, I noticed after reflection. I miss one installer screen; the one that allows me to select the (virtual) ip address and (virtual) server name! It should have been presented because of the changes I made to oraparam.ini (SHOW_HOSTNAME=ALWAYS_SHOW) .
Update:
Before attempting to get replication to work, I'll need to fix the network component. That means adding the "other" entry to each tnsnames.ora, so each file is identical:
OIDREP.home.local = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbhost.home.local)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = oidrep.home.local) ) ) db1020.home.local = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dbhost.home.local)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = db1020.home.local) )
It also means, I need to add a default domain - OID seems to make it a habit of sometimes using a domain qualified call, sometimes not. Consequently, db1020 as well as db1020.home.local must be resolved. Added this to sqlnet.ora:
names.default_domain=home.local
The same is true for the database server(s); they need to be able to connect lateron - afterall, it is database based replication, not Application Server!
Next stop: replication!
Update: (Phase 6 - install Replication)
After all these preparations, starting replication should be quite easy: use the remtool (reminding me of a REMoval tool, what's in a name?): (some logging has been snipped to save space)

If the setup fails with

in the dropping/creating database links part, right at the beginning, make sure global_name (select * from global_name) is the same as your service_name in tnsnames.ora.Now, start replication services, and see if they run:

Well, fire up the Directory Manager, connect to both LDAP servers, and navigate to cn=Entry Management,dc=local,dc=home,cn=users,cn=orcladmin.
On the first machine, oidhost, you will see this (notice the timestamp):
The replicated machine, idmhost, will show this:
Note, not only are the timestamps the same, and I did not do the two installs simultaniously, but the modifiersname is the replication process:
cn=replication dn,orclreplicaid=idmhost_oidrep,cn=replication configurationNext step: install the Single Sign On and Delegated Administration Services
Update:
Starting up all processes (e.g. after a startup; I do not leave my test machines on 24*7), is as easy as 1-2-3:

This odisrv is a bit of a nag. It is running perfectly on the other machine:

However, opmnctl does not seem to control it, after a few stopall and startall, I had this:
[oidoracle@oidhost ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/ldapcheck Checking Oracle Internet Directory Processes ...ALL Process oidmon is Alive as PID 6410 Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 6411 Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 6426 Process oidrepld is Alive as PID 6585 Process odisrv is Alive as PID 6170 Process odisrv is Alive as PID 6414
Oh well. What bothers me is the fact odisrv does not run on idmhost; the log shows:
----------------------------------------------------- Oracle Directory Integration Server instance# 01 started.. ----------------------------------------------------- Sat Jun 23 12:59:08 CEST 2007 : Starting Server to execute Profile Group :default against LDAP Server (idmhost.home.local:3130) Sat Jun 23 12:59:09 CEST 2007 : SSL Mode :1 Sat Jun 23 12:59:09 CEST 2007 : Exception :javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials] Sat Jun 23 12:59:09 CEST 2007 : Aborting.. : null Sat Jun 23 12:59:09 CEST 2007 : Exiting with Status -1: null
On odihost, the correct startup message in the log:

Update: (don't try this - see below)
Change the port on idmhost.home.local from 389 to 3060, ran dcmctl updateconfig.
Then, I ran this, and all of a sudden, it worked!
[oidoracle@idmhost log]$ odisrvreg -D cn=orcladmin -w Welcome1 -p 3060

I'd have expected the odisrvreg utility to report "already registered - updating". This leaves a somewhat eery feeling; anyone knowing what is going on, please comment!
I'll update myself on that: the odisrv process does not need to run on both sides - it's supposed to failover. However, I still fail to see how - I even tried kill -9 (all processes), but could not get odisrv to start on the other node.

$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
frankbo@cs-frank03 ~
$ ssh idmoracle@idmhost

Fill in the correct settings:
Ditto:
It's still called "Infrastructure", although this is the middle tier:
And I still am not done with the Identity Management Install:
Oh, well, we've been here before...
So let's get started - note I added HA and Replication:
Select the correct file - it needs to pick up the ports actually in use by the OID install (phase 5)
This is an odd one: I am *not* adding a listener, so why this check is executed is beyond me. The resolution is to stop the services on this machine (logon as oidoracle, and issue an opmnctl stopall, or stopproc ias-component=OID)
Once the "error" hurdle is taken, select Cluster:
First install, so I have to create a cluster:
Name it:
Specify correct host; I had the "crossed" setup, so this SSO install (middle tier) will be served by the first install of the Infrastructure, which was on the oidhost:
Specify the password of orcladmin on the OID host:
I make a mistake here - specified the port, as used in metalink note 370458.1. Consequently, I had to change the loadbalancer:
balance -b login.home.local http idm1:7779 % idm2:7779 %
Make up a password, or -better yet- have one generated:
And finally - after a while, and the execution of the (in-)famous root.sh script:

Same thing needs to be done on the replicated site, idmhost.home.local. I found it not very clear whether this should be done in the middle tier, or in the infrastructure - the notes suggest the first, and so does the point in time: after the first middle-tier install.
Rest assured: it should run from the infrastructure - the sites, where the OID processes and replication run.
All that is left to install now, is the last middle tier:
[root@oidhost ~]# mkdir -p /oracle/idm/oraInventory
[root@oidhost ~]# cd /oracle

The installation is the same as the first one, except for some names, that are different (obviously): the cluster is called SSOClusterB (could have been the same, by the way), the ldapserver is idmhost.home.local (I am installing on oidhost!), so I will not post any screendumps of that.
Instead, stay tuned for replication woes, and usage notes.
Last and Final Update:
To show that the whole things is two-fold:
There you have it - two partner applications.
In a nutshell:
- Install and patch the database software tree(s).
- Create a database, altering default the settings to ones, fit for a Repository. If not done now, the Metadat Creation Repository Assistant (MRCA) will force you.
- Run the MRCA against the newly created database.
- Clone to create the replication database (or reuse the scripts and rerun MRCA)
- Install the first Infrastructure. Options: OID and DIP. Use main database as repository database.
- Install the second Infrastructure. Options: OID, DIP and HA/Replication, use first infrastructure OID setup as reference. Use replica database for repository database.
- Configure your network:
- make sure you can start SQL*Plus from both database, and both Infrastructure environments. Als make sure, you can use shorthand, as well as the fully qualified tns-alias. This step is crucial!
- Also, make sure you have your loadbalacer and naming (DNS or other) in order.
- Setup the OID replication, using the remtool ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/remtool -asrsetup -v)
- Stop and start (using $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl) all processes on both Infrastructure installations.
- Start the replication processes; first time only by hand, using oidctl, on both Infrastructure installations.
- Check replication by adding on an entry in one OID environment, wait until it appears in the other. then, delete from the other, and check whther it disappears from the first.
- Install the first Middle Tier (Single Sign On/Delegated Administration Services). Oddly enough, it is still an infrastructure install. Select SSO, DAS and HA, create a new cluster. Specify the first OID install for LDAP, and your loadbalancer.
- Synchronize passwords, generated at random during the installation, across both infrastructures. Use ssoReplSetup.jar -prompt on both Infrastructure installs. Mind the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Install the second Middle Tier (SSO/DAS). Similar to first install.
