13 Administration of Oracle Provisioning Service

Overview: Deploying the Oracle Provisioning Service

To deploy the Oracle Provisioning Service, you perform these general steps:

1. Install Oracle Internet Directory—which includes Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning—and load user information into it.

2. Verify that the Oracle directory integration and provisioning server (odisrv) has started.

3. Install the applications and, when the Provisioning Subscription Tool prompts, supply the information that the applications need to subscribe to the Oracle Provisioning Service. This enables them to receive provisioning events.

4. Periodically monitor the status of the provisioning event propagation for each application. You can do this by using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Console.

Managing Provisioning Profiles

Use the Provisioning Subscription Tool to perform these activities:

• Create a new provisioning profile. A new provisioning profile is created and set to the enabled state so that Directory Integration and Provisioning can process it

• Modify an existing provisioning profile

• Enable or disable an existing provisioning profile

• Delete an existing provisioning profile

• Get the current status of a given provisioning profile

• Clear all of the errors in an existing provisioning profile

To monitor provisioning profiles, use the OID Server Manageability functionality in the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Console.
