This chapter discusses the following topics:

Table 6-1 Oracle Internet Directory Configuration Scenarios

Scenario	Description
OID with ODSM and Fusion Middleware Control in a New WebLogic Domain	The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have all of the following conditions: You want to manage Oracle Internet Directory using Fusion Middleware Control. You want Oracle Internet Directory to be in a WebLogic administration domain. There is no WebLogic Administration Server managing other 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Oracle Directory Services components. You want to install Oracle Internet Directory and a WebLogic Administration Server colocated on the same host.
OID with ODIP, ODSM, and Fusion Middleware Control in a New WebLogic Domain	The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have both of the following conditions: You want to install Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform colocated on the same host. There is no WebLogic Administration Server managing other 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Oracle Directory Services components.
OID and OVD with ODSM in a New WebLogic Domain	The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have the following conditions: A new WebLogic Administration Server is necessary to manage Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory components. You want to install Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Virtual Directory together in the same WebLogic domain, which can be extended at a later time to add new Oracle Identity Management components.
Only OID in an Existing WebLogic Domain	The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have both of the following conditions: A WebLogic Administration Server is available to manage 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Oracle Directory Services components and you want Oracle Internet Directory to join that domain. You want to install Oracle Internet Directory separately from the WebLogic Administration Server.
Only OID Without a WebLogic Domain	The configuration described in this topic is appropriate for environments that have both of the following conditions: You do not want to include Oracle Internet Directory in a WebLogic administration domain for management purposes. You do not want to manage Oracle Internet Directory using Fusion Middleware Control.
