Configure the Oracle Wire Protocol Driver

You configure the Oracle wire protocol driver to specify the settings Federation Manager should use to connect to the data source.

To configure the Oracle wire protocol driver

1. Navigate to the directory federation_mgr_home/siteminder/db.
2. Open the system_odbc.ini file in a text editor.
3. Select the section [CA FedManager Data Source] and make a copy of it directly under its current location.
4. Using the copy you created as a template, rename the heading in brackets to something appropriate for your data source.
5. Change the values in the LogonID, Password, HostName, and Service Name entries.

   The modified text for the Oracle data source should appear as follows:

   Driver=federation_mgr_home/siteminder/odbc/lib/NSora23.so
   Description=DataDirect 5.3 Oracle Wire Protocol
   LogonID=uid
   Password=pwd
   HostName=servername
   PortNumber=1521
   ServiceName=servicename
   CatalogOptions=0
   ProcedureRetResults=0
   EnableDescribeParam=0
   EnableStaticCursorsForLongData=0
   ApplicationUsingThreads=1
   

6. Save the file.

   The Oracle wire protocol driver is configured.

Important! Do not modify other entries in the file, especially anything listed in the [CA FedManager Data Source] section.
