OIA - OIM coexistence, Integration and Issues

-
In this post, I will talk about the coexisting OIA and OIA side by side and some of the options that I tried and it's eventual outcome.

Option 1
Deploy OIA on the same OIM managed server. Does not work.

Option 2
Create a separate managed server and deploy OIA. That did not work either

Option 3
Create a new domain within the same middleware home and deploy OIA in a server there. Unfortunately that also did not work.

Option 4
Deploy OIA on a fresh weblogic middleware home. Finally it worked.
All along it kept complaining about a context loader and some other issues which are difficult to debug.

To conclude OIA and OIM in the same domain  or same middleware home does not work.

There were issues that arise during integration, firstly with option 4 you will have to establish domain level trust between the 2 domains to fix the authentication issues.
Other fix is to set prefer-web-inf-classes to true in weblogic.xml in WEB-INF folder. Well this is not an integration per se but a general fix to load application libraries first and then the app server libraries. More to do with the class loading issue.

OIM 11g Custom ADF Application Development

In this post , I will cover the steps required to create a custom ADF web application. What this application does is facilitate Account Claim Process. Users has been migrated from some other IAM product to OIM and exist in disabled state and hence cannot login to perform Self Service operations. User needs to identify themselves by providing their personal details like personal identification number, zip code and dob etc. After successfully Identifying themselves they will be able to set a new password and set their challenge questions and answers. During this process the application will activate their account and set the new password and QnA. At the end of the process, they will be able to login OIM with their new password set. The application has been developed using JDeveloper using ADF technology to render user interfaces and MVC design pattern to keep the concerns separate.

OIM 11g R2 PS2 : SOA Approval Workflow Sample

In this post I am posting the sample code for a sample SOA approval workflow. Some of the features that this workflow addresses are Approval to Manager or Role Owners is dynamic based on the custom OIM system property "approval-condition". Value is set either "AND" or "OR". Manager or Role Owner can be set to be notified only with no approval required. In this case only email is sent to notify them but no approval is required from them. Custom OIM system property are created to address this.   manager-notify-only = TRUE or FALSE  TRUE = only notify the manager no approval request sent. FALSE = notify the manager and send an approval request.   roleowner-notify-only = TRUE or FALSE  TRUE = only notify the role owner no approval request sent. FALSE = notify the role owner and send an approval request. Third Level System Notification was required but it should be dynamic.  Custom OIM system property are created to address this sysadmin-noti
