Installing and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server

Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to install and configure Oracle HTTP Server. This tutorial takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

This tutorial is part of the series Getting Started with Oracle Identity Governance 12c. Read them sequentially.

Background

Most organizations use Oracle HTTP Server as a front end to access web applications. As part of this series of tutorials, you installed and configured Oracle Identity and Access Management software on two nodes - Node 1 and Node 2. Now you will install an Oracle HTTP Server and configure it to act as a front end to access Oracle Identity Governance.

What Do You Need?

An environment with:

At least 16 GB of physical memory
Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.6 or later with access to the Internet
oracle credentials

A basic understanding of Linux

Download the Oracle HTTP Server 12c Software

In this section, you download all the relevant software required for Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) 12c on Node 1 (host01.example.com).

In a browser, go to the Oracle Technology Network download page for Web Tier 12cR2 (12.2.1.3.0): Accept the license agreement and download the Oracle Web Tier 12cR3 (12.2.1.3.0) software, highlighted in the illustration (fmw_12.2.1.3.0_ohs_linux64_Disk1_1of1.zip):

Install Oracle HTTP Server 12c

Launch a terminal window as oracle and enter the following command to install OHS:

$ cd Downloads
$ unzip fmw_12.2.1.3.0_ohs_linux64_Disk1_1of1.zip
$ chmod +x fmw_12.2.1.3.0_ohs_linux64.bin
$ ./fmw_12.2.1.3.0_ohs_linux64.bin

Follow the table below to guide you through the installation screens:

Steps	Window Description	Choices or Values
1	Welcome	Click Next
2	Auto Updates	Click Next
3	Installation Location	`/u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs`
4	Installation Type	Standalone HTTP Server (Managed independently of WebLogic server)
5	JDK Selection	`/u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/jdk`
6	Prerequisite Checks	Click Next
7	Installation Summary	Click Install
8	Installation Progress	Click Next
9	Installation Complete	Click Finish

Configure HTTP Server

Launch a terminal window as oracle and enter the following command to launch the Configuration Wizard:
```
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs/oracle_common/common/bin
$ ./config.sh
```

Follow the table below to guide you through the configuration screens:

Steps	Window Description	Choices or Values
1	Create Domain	Select Create a new existing domain Domain Location: `/u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs/user_projects/domains/base_domain`
2	Templates	Oracle HTTP Server (Standalone) - 12.2.1.3.0 [ohs]
3	JDK Selection	Click Next
4	System Components	Click Next
5	OHS Server	Click Next
6	Node Manager	Select Per Domain Default Location Username: `weblogic` Password: `Welcome1` Confirm Password: `Welcome1`
7	Configuration Summary	Click Create
8	Configuration Progress	Click Next
9	End of Configuration	Click Finish

Download the mod_wl_ohs.conf and run the following commands to replace the default OHS server configuration file:

$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs/user_projects/domains/base_domain/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/instances/ohs1
$ cp mod_wl_ohs.conf mod_wl_ohs.conf.bak
$ cp /home/oracle/Downloads/mod_wl_ohs.conf .

Start the Servers

Launch a terminal window as oracle and run the following command to start the Node Manager:
```
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin
$ ./startNodeManager.sh
```
Launch another terminal window and enter the following commands to start Oracle HTTP Server. Enter Welcome1 as the password when prompted:
```
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware/ohs/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin
$ ./startComponent.sh ohs1
```

You should see the following to show OHS successfully started:

Successfully Connected to Node Manager.
Starting server ohs1 ...
Successfully started server ohs1 ...
Successfully disconnected from Node Manager.
Exiting WebLogic Scripting Tool.
Done

Launch a browser and check the OHS is accessible by accessing the URL http://host01.example.com:7777

Access Identity Self Service Console using Oracle HTTP Sever Front End URL

Open the browser and enter the url http://host01.example.com:7777/identity. You are accessing the Oracle HTTP Server url with the resource identifier for the Identity Self Service Console. The Oracle HTTP Server will pick one of the Oracle Identity Governance servers - oim_server1 on host01.example.com or oim_server2 on host02.example.com in a round-robin fashion.
The Identity Self Service Console login page is displayed. Enter xelsysadm as the username and Welcome1 as the password. Click Sign In.
