Verify the Identity Manager Server Starts

To start CA Identity Manager on WebLogic, you use the startWebLogic.cmd file for Windows, or the startWebLogic.sh file on UNIX. This file is located in the directory that was created for your CA Identity Manager domain.

Note: If you are using WebLogic in production mode, the Identity Manager EAR may not auto-deploy the first time you start the application server after an install or upgrade. If this should occur, deploy the IdentityMinder.ear manually from the user_projects\applications folder.

To verify that the Identity Manager Server starts

1. Navigate to weblogic_home/weblogic_domain/bin from a command line.

   For example, the Windows default is:

   c:\bea\user_projects\domains\weblogic_domain\bin

2. Enter the following:
   • Windows: startWebLogic
   • UNIX: ./startWebLogic.sh

   You may be prompted for the WebLogic administrator name and password for the application server to start up.

3. If prompted, enter the WebLogic administrator name and password that you provided when you created the domain.

   Note: The first time you start the Identity Manager Server, CA Identity Manager’s JSP files are precompiled. This can cause the initial start up to take some time.

   When you see the following message, the server has completed its startup process:

   <Server started in RUNNING mode>
   

4. Access the Management Console and confirm the following:
   • You can access the following URL from a browser:

     http://im_server:port/idmmanage

     For example:

     http://MyServer.MyCompany.com:port-number/idmmanage

   • The Management Console opens.
   • No errors are displayed in the application server log.
   • You do not receive an error message when you click the Directories link.

   Note: For details about the Management Console, see the Configuration Guide.
