Install CA Identity Manager on the WebLogic Cluster

Before deploying Identity Manager to the cluster, deploy it in a cluster domain in the Administration Server to verify that it installs correctly. The cluster domain serves as a staging area where you can test Identity Manager and then deploy it to other nodes in the cluster.

When you supply a cluster name during the installation, these primary resources will be configured:

• Distributed queues/topics with Round-Robin as the default load-balancing algorithm, all targeted to cluster name provided.
• Connection factories targeted to cluster name provided.
• Data sources also targeted to cluster name provided.
• Two JMS modules: imjmsmodule and wpjmsmodule.

During the installation, the EAR files (iam_im.ear and ca-stylesr5.1.1.ear) are installed to the cluster domain at the following root:

WL_HOME\user_projects\domains\weblogic_domain\applications

Once the managed node server is started, the EAR files are pushed to this location on the managed nodes:

WL_HOME\common\nodemanager\servers\server-name\stage

Note: Make sure that you have the required information for installer screens, such as host names and passwords. If any issues occur during installation, check the installation logs.

To install Identity Manager on the WebLogic Admin Server

1. Update the /etc/hosts file if you are installing on a UNIX system.

   Include IP addresses and hostnames of any remote system that you plan to include during the installation.

2. On the system that hosts the WebLogic Admin Server, install the Identity Manager server using the installation program:
   • Windows: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-win32.exe
     

   • UNIX: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-sol.bin
     

   release represents the current release of CA Identity Manager.

3. When you enter any password or shared secret in the installation, be sure to provide a password that you can recall when needed.

   

4. Complete the WebLogic section as follows:

   WebLogic Binary Folder

   The location of the application server home directory.

   Domain Folder

   The name of the WebLogic domain you created for Identity Manager.

   Server Name

   The name of the WebLogic server on which the domain is configured.

   Cluster Name

   The name of the cluster.

   Access URL and port

   Supply the URL and the port number for the web server used for load balancing.

5. Complete the Database Connection Information section using the information you collected about your Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database.

   

6. Complete the Login Information section with a password that conforms to your organization's requirements.

   

7. If you are connecting to SiteMinder, complete the Policy Server section that appears.
