3 Types of Oracle Identity Management Environments

3.1.1 Identity Management Components Available in Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), the Oracle Identity Management components consists of the following:

• Oracle Internet Directory

• Oracle Directory Integration Platform

• Oracle Single Sign-On

• Oracle Delegated Administration Services

When you install and configure these 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) components, you can install them all into the same Oracle home (a colocated environment), or you can distribute them in separate Oracle homes (a distributed environment).

For the distributed environment, users typically intall the Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform components into one Oracle home and the Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Delegated Administration Services componetns into a second Oracle home.

3.1.2 Identity Management Components Available in Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4)

Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4) provided the following Oracle Application Server Identity Management components:

• Oracle Internet Directory

• Oracle Directory Integration Platform

• Oracle Single Sign-On

• Oracle Delegated Administration Services

• Oracle Virtual Directory

• Oracle Identity Federation

• Oracle Access Manager

As shown in the previous list, Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4) introduced the Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Identity Federation components.

In a typical environment, Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Identity Federation are separately from the colocated or distributed installations of the other Oracle Identity Management components.

3.1.3 Identity Management Components Available in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g provides new versions of the following Oracle Identity Management 10g components:

• Oracle Internet Directory

• Oracle Directory Integration Platform

• Oracle Virtual Directory

• Oracle Identity Federation

Note that Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g does not include Oracle Single Sign-On or Oracle Delegated Administration Services. It also does not include Oracle Access Manager.

For more information about the Oracle Identity Management components available with 11g, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Integration Guide for Oracle Identity Management.
