NimbostratusAPM + OAM (11GR1) Installation guide for HTTP Basic Authentication over HTTPS
I can't find a guide that describes how to setup APM with OAM11g and use HTTP Basic authentication (over https). I found the SSO guide and was able to follow the 11g and 10g sequence diagrams and un...
Hi Anthony.
It depends on what part(s) of the OAM tech stack you want to use.
For User Auth only, you can use this guide:
http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/big-ip-apm-dg.pdf
Which will provide for HTTP Basic Auth to the user ( the APM login page with username/password ), using OID - Oracle Internet Directory, OAM's LDAP server.
If you want to use APM's Webgate functionality, then you use this guide:
http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/oracle-oam-apm-11-dg.pdf
Which gives you both User Auth, and Web Access Control using the full OAM stack with AuthN/AuthZ policies. It is VERY important that you test and verify your OAM polices prior to setting up APM webgate - use a web server with a 10g Webgate agent is highly recommended. You MUST follow the steps in this deployment guide - exactly as outlined, in order, to have a successful deployment.
Good Luck, let us know how it goes !

NimbostratusChris, I went by the deployment guide and I cannot get the authentication to fire off. I also get a "failed to get host identifier..." error when using the eamtest tool. I went back over the DG and followed it to the letter. Still no joy. There seems to be an issue with the AccessGate contacting the OAM server and firing off the auth process. The APM VPE config, which is not covered in the DG, is pretty generic at this point. Start --> OAM AAA --> Allow.
I have checked and rechecked everything but nothing seems to be helping. Any ideas of where to go? These resources that you have listed seem to be the only ones available at this time.
Thanks in advance
