Network Enginner Needs to Implement Oracle OEM iControl Integration

John,

 

 

iControl is a webservice (SOAP) interface on our devices that is always on. The only way to turn it off is to disable the administrative web GUI which most likely isn't common practice.

 

 

The only thing you are going to have to provide your DBA is a set of login credentials that correspond to the levels of operation you want them to be able to do (iControl is run through the administrative HTTPS port). A "Guest" level account would have read-only access (ie get* methods). An "Operator" level account would be able perform all read operations as well as enabling or disabling objects. An "Administrator" account will have access to the entire API set.

 

 

I hope this answers your question (let me know if you need more details). Basicially a username and password is all you have to provide to enable an existing application to work.
