How to install Administrative UI R12 SP1?
Hello,
I have to install the CA SiteMinder R12 SP1, so not the easy to install SP2!
So far I've managed to install the PolicyServer on a Windows 2003 SP2 machine (Win1). It seems to be up and running.
My problem is that I'm not able to deploy without errors the Administrative UI. What I have done so far:
1. Put JBoss 4.0.5 on another machine with Windows 2003 SP2 (Win2);
2. Create on an Oracle 10g database a schema for user store and a schema for object store. The Oracle 10g installation is on the same machine, Win2. The user store schema has a table with users, which I've created and put inside an item with loginID "siteminder" which I intend to make the super user for the Administrative UI.
3. Create an ODBC data source which points to the user store schema.
4. Modify the given directory.xml ( as I use for the user store a database, I've taken the sample file from <Administrative UI kit>\DirectoryConfigurationSamples\RelationalDatabase\ ).
5. I run the installation for Administrative UI, the log says it was installed without errors.
6. I start the JBoss with the command run_idm.bat ... and here I've got errors.
Beside the well known " Policy Server Connection URL could not be parsed. Expected: hostname,##,##,## ", I have another one
2010-04-02 13:28:22,028 INFO [ims.deploy] An error occurred while configuring Identity Manager. Reverting configured objects...
2010-04-02 13:28:22,091 DEBUG [net.sf.ehcache.store.MemoryStore] IM ROLECache: Cannot remove entry as key 1 was not found
2010-04-02 13:28:22,481 ERROR [ims.tmt.EnvironmentService] Deploying environment SiteMinderEnvironment.xml
com.netegrity.imsconfig.exception.ImsConfigException: The user "siteminder" in the system administrator list does not exist.foo
at com.netegrity.imsconfig.model.environment.SystemAdminObjectModel.persistObjectImpl(SystemAdminObjectModel.java:176)
I've even tried to remake the installation, starting from scratch with a new JBoss, new user store, new object store, etc. Same thing. I don't know where I do something wrong. I've been extra careful when creating the directory.xml configuration file ( you can see it attached ).
A thing that puzzles me is that during the Administrative UI I have not been asked to give the name of the ODBC data source I have created for my user store access.
Can anyone help with some idea what is wrong in my installation?
Thank you very much for your time! I'm appreciating any kind of help.

Micha

I dont think , you need to change the much in the directory.xml file (except if i remember correctly , the DISABLE_STATE and PASSWORD_DATA , you need to remove the ## ), you can use the existing one, have you mapped the super user (WAM Admin) properly ??
Note : i cant able to open the directory.xml file sorry :(

Hello,
I've managed in the end yesterday to make it work.
Apparently the fact that I was trying to install the Administrative UI on the same machine I had my Oracle 10g instance was not ok. When I've installed ( following the same procedure I've used first and the same directory.xml file ) the Administrative UI on a different machine than the one with the Oracle it worked without errors!
Now I have my Administrative UI and I can use it perfectly!
I don't know what was the interaction with the Oracle 10g!!
On the same machine with the Oracle 10g I've tried to install the PolicyServer and got a blockage of the installation at the point with "configuring perl ... ". In the end the problem came from an environment variable PERL5LIB which was setting the path to perl library to the one used by Oracle!! The problem was that Oracle 10g was using a different version of perl than the PolicyServer installer!
So be careful!! If you get errors with your SiteMinder R12 SP1 installation watch what Oracle has set in your environment!
Regards,
Micha
