Configuring Oracle Internet Directory
You can configure Oracle Internet Directory to be the directory service for FileNetĀ® P8 .
Make sure to consider the following requirements:
- When installing Oracle Internet Directory (OID) using the Oracle Universal Installer, you must at a minimum select to install the Oracle Internet Directory component. The Oracle Universal Installer will ensure that certain other components that OID requires will also be installed.
- If Oracle Internet Directory is installed on a Windows server, it must have an NTFS hard drive partition.
- The security administrator might have to create an index if the sorting attribute is not in the list of default attributes shipped by Oracle Internet Directory.
- Access control settings in FileNet P8 require that all users have Browse access on the directory server. If you do not want to set Browse access at the individual user level, it is a best practice to establish a Public trustee for the realm.
- Server Side Sorting (SSS) must be enabled. This is because FileNet P8 components call on Content Platform Engine to perform searches using a sorted paging mechanism. Note that SSS is normally enabled by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with performance.
