Overview

Back to Topic List

Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation is a prerequisite for all middle-tier applications that are installed with the Oracle Collaboration Suite. The Oracle9iAS Infrastructure must be installed first. The Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation consists of the following components:

Oracle9iAS Metadata Repository Oracle9iAS Metadata Repository is a preseeded database containing metadata and schemas needed to run Oracle Collaboration Suite applications. This repository is installed and configured with every Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation.

Oracle Internet Directory (OID) Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is a directory service that implements the lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), version 3. OID stores information about the users, groups, and privileges used by SSO, as well as application configurations.
Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On (SSO) authenticates users in any Oracle Collaboration Suite application. With SSO, your users can access all of the Oracle Collaboration Suite applications using a single account name and password.
Delagated Administration Service Delegated Administration Service (DAS) is an administration tool for managing Oracle Collaboration Suite users, groups, and privileges used with SSO.

Oracle Management Server Oracle Management Server processes system management tasks and administers the distribution of these tasks across the network using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. The Console and its three-tier architecture can be used with the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site to manage not only Oracle Collaboration Suite, but your entire Oracle environment.
HTTP and OC4J

HTTP and OC4J includes the HTTP Server, OC4J, and Web Cache. These components enable your administrators and users to access the infrastructure tier using HTTP:

Oracle HTTP Server is the HTTP entry point into Oracle Collaboration Suite. The Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache web server, but with additional and enhanced modules.
Web Cache is a caching reverse proxy server that is located in front of the Oracle HTTP Server. It improves performance of Web server instances by storing frequently accessed pages in memory, eliminating the need to repeatedly process requests for pages from the Web server, the applications, or the Oracle database.
Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE (OC4J) is a fast, lightweight, highly scalable, easy-to-use, and complete Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) container written entirely in Java, that executes on the standard Java Development Kit (JDK) Virtual Machine (Java VM) available on the operating systems and hardware platforms on which Oracle9iAS is certified.
