Creating New Users and Groups on Fusion Applications

Here we try to the tasks of New Users and Groups creation that implementers perform to get started with an implementation of Oracle Fusion Applications.

These are the first steps in the implementation process after installation and provisioning of Oracle Fusion Applications.

The doc covers the basic requirements needed to create initial implementation users.

Access Requirements:

With Fusion Application, the release with unified suite of business applications, Users are managed via Oracle Identity Manager (OIM). In this exercise, you use Oracle Directory Services Manager to add a user and a group to Oracle Internet Directory.

To get started with Oracle Fusion Applications implementation, you need access to Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), and Oracle Fusion Applications.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following information:

URLs for Oracle Fusion Applications and OIM

The Oracle Fusion Applications  URL : http://host/homePage/faces/AtkHomePageWelcome

https://fusionapps.ibizsoft.com:10714/homePage/faces/AtkHomePageWelcome

URLs are recorded in a file whose default name is Provisioning Summary. The file is created in the same location as the provisioning plan.

Login Details for FAADMIN or XELSYSADM Users

Ensure you have the required SYSADMIN access such as FAADMIN or XELSYSADM(The user name and password of the Oracle Fusion Applications super user and the OIM system administrator user).

The default user name of the Oracle Fusion Applications super user is FAADMIN. (FAADMIN/**********)

The default OIM system administrator user name is XELSYSADM. (weblogic_idm/**********)

Location of the Oracle home directory in the Oracle Identity Management (IDM) environment (IDM_ORACLE_HOME)

(/d01/Middleware/Oracle_IDM)

Let’s take a quick look at how a New User can be created using Oracle Directory Manager Services.

You need access to an instance of Oracle Directory Services Manager and to an Oracle Internet Directory instance.

Adding User Entries

Now we will go on with the process of creating a user and assigning a password.
1.    Access Oracle Directory Services Manager.

Invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager in one of the following ways:

•    To invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager from Fusion Middleware Control, select an Oracle Internet Directory or an Oracle Virtual Directory component, select Directory Services Manager from the Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory menu in the Oracle Internet Directory target, then select the specific screen in Oracle Directory Services Manager. Oracle Directory Services Manager displays the connection dialog for the same Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory instance.

•    To invoke Oracle Directory Services Manager directly:
Enter the following URL into your browser’s address field:

http://host:port/odsm

In the URL to access Oracle Directory Services Manager, host is the name of the managed server where Oracle Directory Services Manager is running. port is the managed server port number from the WebLogic server.

You can determine the exact port number by examining the $Fusion_Middleware_Home/Oracle_Identity_Management_domain/servers/wls_ods/data/nodemanager/wls_ods1.url file, where Fusion_Middleware_Homerepresents the root directory where Fusion Middleware is installed.

When the Oracle Directory Services Manager home page appears, click the small arrow to the right of the label Click to connect to a directory.

We are done with creating a couple of users for fusion applications and assigning them to a newly created group.
