Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 with OAM 11.1.1.5

Question

Hi All,
I have the following customer requirement.
Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 which is deployed on WebLogic Server 10.3.6
Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5.0
Oracle Internet Directory 11.1.1.6.0
The customer wants to have Single Sign On for the Oracle Portal Application. This is my understanding about the Architecture.
Oracle HTTP Server (with WebLogic Proxy Plug-in) talks to Oracle Portal
Oracle HTTP Server (the same above with WebGate) talks to Oracle Access Manager
Oracle HTTP Server has Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Access Manager talks to OID
Oracle Portal talks to OID with OID Authenticator
When I went through the Oracle Portal documents, they give steps for Oracle Portal which is deployed on Oracle Application Server but not with WebLogic.
My questions
1) Do I need to configure OID Authenticator at myrealm of WebLogic Domain (which hosts Oracle Portal) to connect to OID?
2) Is there anything more I need to do to integrate Oracle Portal with OID (Meaning running pl/sql scripts or any)?
3) Kindly advice me about the flow of Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Web Cache, Oracle Web Gate to OAS and Oracle Portal?
Thank you
Regards,
Somerset

Hi Somerset,
I am going through the similar problems as you are so was able to find some high level answers (although still have problems implementing.)
As for the questions:
1.
Yes, you can check the details here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_sso.htm#WCADM8176
Chapter 30.2.4.1 Configuring the Oracle Internet Directory Authenticator, item 9)
2.
This is in no way a complete list, as it is still not working for me, but some of it:
OAM:You need to set up host identifier, resources(urls) to protect, define schemas and policies
OHS: Need to set portal name in mod_wl_ohs.CONF
Domain-level jps-config.xml: Needs to be set as per
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/doc.1111/e15478/opssadf.htm, appendix c,
Example C-1 Sample SSO Configuration for OAM 11g
3.
This graphic explains it I believe:
Same doc as above, at the beginning.
Figure 30-1 OAM Single Sign-On Components and Topology
You can also check the thread I have started describing my setup/issue:

Hope this helps!
ZoranZoran,
What you are tryiing to accomplish is the different than what Somerset's. Yours is the Oracle webcenter portal vs. Somerset's is the Oracle Portal.
For The road map of Oracle Portal integrating with Oracle Access Manager there is no other way than what I explained. ;)
