In order to
synchronize passwords from OID to AD it is necessary that we setup OID
to communicate with the AD server over SSL. In this section you will
get hands on experience configuring a new OID server configset that
will enable you to safely pass data between OID and AD. This lesson
is one of four lessons that will configure OID to work in SSL mode.
The other three lessons are titled "Wallet Creation", "Configuring
the DIP Server for SSL", and "Reversible Password Configuration".
All of these steps are necessary before we configure the Active Directory
Export agent.
OID
10g AS infrastructure must be installed
The OID server must be running
Creating
a new configset
Configsets in OID allow you to configure custom startup
settings for the OID server. By calling a specific "configset"
when you start OID you invoke whatever parameters are associated with
that configset. This lesson will show you how to create a new configset
with SSL parameters needed for running OID in SSL mode.
Step 1. Start the Oracle Directory Manager
Example:
# oidadmin
Step 2. Navigate to the "Directory Server"
entry which is under the "Server Management" entry.
Step 3. Select the green box from the menu to create
a new configset.
Step 4. A new form will appear giving you the ability
to start configuring your new configset.
Step 5. In the "SASL Mechanism" field enter
DIGEST-MD5
EXTERNAL
Step 6. In the "SASL Cypher Choice" field
enter:
RC4-56
DES
3DES
Step 7. In the "Non SSL Port" field give a
port number such as 3160
Step 8. Select OK. You should now see a new configset
in your list of "Directory Server".
Step 9. Select your new configset.
Step 10. Select the "SSL Settings" tab
Step 11. Set the "SSL Authentication" to "SSL
Server Authentication".
Step 12. Set the "SSL Enable" field to "Both
SSL and Non SSL".
Step 13. Set the "SSL Wallet URL" to the location
where your wallet exists. At this point we have not created a wallet.
We will create a wallet on the next page. For now we will set the "SSL
Wallet URL" to the location where we will eventually create a new
wallet. In this exercise we will be putting the wallet in the /u01 directory.
Therefore we will set this value to "file:/u01".
Notice that we did not include the name of the wallet
file, only the location of the wallet file.
Step 14. Set the SSL port number. In this exercise we
will be using port 3230 for all of our SSL transactions.
Step 15. Start the OID Server using your new server
configset.
