Installing & Configuring Apache 2.2 64bit on Solaris Sparc Box

 

This post is divided into 3 sections: Installation, Configuration & Verification. 

So let's start the process.........

Installing Apache22-64bit-

1. To install apache22, we need the source code & than need to build it. This will generate the binaries.
2. Download the source code from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22 to your Solaris Sparc box.
3. Now we need to 'export' some settings, i.e. per-requisites before we start the build process:
1. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9:/usr/local/lib/sparcv9
   export PATH=/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
   # if you want it 64 bits:
   export CFLAGS=”-m64″
   # if you want it 32 bits:
   # export CFLAGS=”-m32″
   export LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9″
    

      4.  Unzip the downloaded apache22 source code.

      5.  Change the directory, move to the unzipped folder.

      6.  Now we need to configure the environment for building the source code, for this it is 

           required to execute the 'configure' script present in the directory.

           For eg: /home/ckukreja/sr_apache22 is the directory where you have unzipped the 

                       source code

                       

                       bash$>ls -ltr configure

      7.  Execute the 'configure'  script.

           ./configure --with-included-apr --enable-so --prefix=/home/ckukreja/apache22

      8. Now we need to build & install the binaries. Do the following:

• make
• make install

     9. Now go to the directory where you have install apache22

• Move to bin folder and execute the 'file' command on httpd executable file.

                 bash$> cd /home/ckukreja/apache22/bin
                 bash$> file httpd

• 'file httpd' - It's output will show you the type of file is it. Here it should show 64bit, if not than the binaries are of 32bit. Check the steps again.

    

Configure Apache22 on Solaris Sparc Box:

 As you have installed the apache22 on your Solaris Machine. Now it is required to configure it before we start the server.

1. Go to the apache22 installation directory. Move to conf folder.

         bash$> cd /home/ckukreja/apache22/conf  

     2. Open httpd.conf file to edit it. 

          bash$> vi httpd.conf

• Change the port from '80' to the one you want. Like we use '8880'.
• By default username & group are configured as 'daemon'. Change them to the one you are logged in with.
• Save the changes & close the file.

      3. Now come out of the conf folder & change your directory to bin folder.

          

         bash$>cd /home.ckukreja/apache22/bin

      4. Execute the apachectl executable. It will start the httpd server process.

• ./apachectl -k  start

Verify the installation & configuration steps:

Try to access the default resource present on apache22 server like index.html.

Syntax: http://<hostname>:<port>/index.html

Eg: http://slc0010:8880/index.html

It will display the "It Works!!!"

So guys you are done with the Installation & Configuration of Apache22-64bit on your Solaris Sparc Machine..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Enjoy :-)

Deploy OAM11g R2PS2 Webgate on IIS7.5 Windows 2008

Installing Webgate On IIS7.5 Windows Server 2008R2 

This post is part of series Enabling Impersonation Module in OAM11G R2PS2 IIS7.5

1)      Download the Webgate 11g R2PS2 for Windows.

2)      Extract the webgate.zip.

3)      Go to Disk1 folder present under webgate folder.

4)      Copy the path & open command prompt.

a.       Change your directory to the path copied above.

5)      Now execute the setup.exe followed by jre location

                  o   It will start the installation process.

6)      Now follow the steps:

  o   Press Next

       ·         Skip Software Updates

       ·         Perquisite Checks – Proceed Next

       ·         Installation Location: Provide the installation directory location.

       

         ·        Installation Summary: Proceed Next to start the Installation

       

         ·         Installation Started:

              

   

         ·         Installation Completed:

So we are done with the Webgate Installation... Now let's proceed to Configuration Phase.. :-)

Configure Webgate with IIS7.5 

1)      Go to the Webgate Home Directory ->

a.       It is the location where we have install the webgate.

 For Eg: Our WG Home Location

C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\as_3

b.      Go to the deployWebgate folder present under

C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\as_3\webgate\iis\tools\deployWebGate

c.       Execute deployWebGateInstance.bat script

You can see the arguments passed to the script (self-explanatory)

d.      Now we need to execute ConfigureIISWebGate.bat present under

C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\as_3\webgate\iis\tools\ConfigureIISConf

e.      Your site is now mapped with the webgate. To show this mapping. Go to your webgate home location -> lib folder -> open webgate.ini

            ·         Now we need to add artifacts to the webgate instance dir (config folder).

            ·         Restart the IIS Server.

Guys we are done with the Webgate deployment on Windows Server 2008 R2 on IIS7.5 Web Server....!!!!!

Configure Simple Mode Communication for OAM 11G R2PS2

Let's Start................

Open the oamconsole (http://<host.domain:7001>/oamconsole)

1) Go to Server Instances:

 

2) Open your Server Instance:

3) Change the Mode to Simple Mode:

      3.a) Apply the changes:

4) Go to Access Manager Settings:

      4.a) Provide the Global Passphrase:

        4.b) Apply the changes

5) Now Go to SSO Agents:

    5.a) Open your SSO Agent

 

     5.b) Change the Mode to Simple

    5.c) Apply the changes.

6) Restart the managed server.

7) Now we need to copy the artifacts generated in <MW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/base_domain/output/<webgate_profile_name>/

    a) cwallet.sso
    b) ObAccessClient.xml 
    c) password.xml 
   
   Copy them to the config folder of Webgate instance directory i.e.
<MW_HOME>/Oracle_WT1/instances/<instance_name>/config/OHS/ohs1/webgate/config

above path is for non windows server.
For Windows Server (say IIS) - C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\<webgate_instance_name>\config\

8) Similarly copy aaa_cert.pem & aaa_key.pem files to simple folder in Webgate instance config folder.

9) Restart the Web Server Instance.

 Your Simple Mode Security Communication is configured & ready to use.
