Retrieve the Global Passphrase for Simple Mode

Understanding the Global Passphrase Funda:

When you install the OAM Server 11g R2PS2 a default global passphrase is set. This global passphrase is actually used for SIMPLE MODE Communication. Webgate use this global passphrase while performing handshake with OAM Server.

But you need to set this global passphrase explicitly while you are changing the SERVER Mode to Simple Mode. Otherwise you will get exceptions at webgate & server side both (Oracle AccessGateAPI not initialized)

Note: To configure Simple Mode follow Configure Simple Mode Communication

Retrieving Global Passphrase Password:

1) Goto to your Middleware Home:

bash$> cd /scratch/ckukreja/R2PS3/Middleware/

2) Goto Oracle_IDM directory:

bash$> cd Oracle_IDM1

• Change directory to common/bin under IDM parent folder

bash$> cd common/bin

bash$> ls

/scratch/ckukreja/R2PS3/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/common/bin/

3) Now we need to execute wlst script

bash$> ./wlst.sh

• Connect with the Weblogic Server 

•  Execute domainRunTime() 

•  Now we need to display the global passphrase, for this use the command - displaySimpleModeGlobalPassphrase()

Note: Here you are seeing password as 'Welcome1' because i have updated this password in Access Manager Settings in Server.

So now you are good to go...!!!!! You can use this password with your OAM Tester Tool and other purposes will also be fulfilled.

Enjoy :-)
