APM integration with Oracle Access Manager
Hello together, it would be interesting how many of you have implemented the APM modul together with Oracle Access Manager. Which Firmware version are you using on the F5? Which Patchlevel do you have on OAM side? How many webgates do you have implemented on F5 side? Did you face any problems during the integration? I'm asking this because I couldn't find many guys which are using this combination - and yeah I know that there is a Deployment Guide from F5 (which is really good), but I want real customer experience about this. To our setup: Actual we're using firmware 12.1.0 HF1 together with OAM 11gR2 PS3. At the moment we have about 20 webgates active (10g webgates, because 11g isn't supported yet by F5 :/). And we faced a lot of issues during our migration from OAM 11gR1 to R2 together with the F5 integration. But for now on it's working, not 100% perfect but it's working :).

A demonstration of how BIG-IP Access Policy Manager and Oracle Access Manager are integrated along with steps on how to configure the BIG-IP APM. If you missed it, Part 1 can be viewed: F5 Access Policy Manager & Oracle Access Manager Integration - Part 1F5 Access Policy Manager & Oracle Access Manager Integration - Part 1
A couple days ago, I posted the F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager and Oracle Access Manager Integration demo video created by Chris Akker and narrated by Chris Manley – who does a great job, by the way. That was actually Part 2 of a longer video and was edited to show the actual admin GUI steps required to configure the BIG-IP Access Policy Manager for Oracle Access Manager integration on the BIG-IP. This video, Part 1, helps you understand the basics of both APM and OAM and the details of how Access Policy Manager and Oracle Access Manager are integrated. After this, (if you haven’t already) proceed to F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager and Oracle Access Manager Integration Part 2. :-)CloudFucius’ Road Trip: Oracle Open World
You might not know (not that you really care) that I moved recently. I used to live in San Jose and visiting Moscone for the variety of technology shows held there was an easy drive up the 280 and a nightmare on the 101. Now that I live in Sothern California, it’s a ‘6 of 1, half dozen of the other’ scenario when it comes to ‘car vs. air’ travel time and cost – at least from where I am. Couple weeks ago I did the trip for VMworld and I have to say, it wasn’t too bad and I had a vehicle! So I’ll be doing it again this weekend to attend Oracle OpenWorld 2010 in the City by the bayeeeeaaay. Oracle OpenWorld is the largest conference for Oracle technologists, business users, and partners and F5 Networks will, of course, be there. The exhibits run Monday thru Wednesday and I encourage you to visit Booth #1427 to learn more about all the amazing solutions and deep integration F5 has with Oracle. We’ll be highlighting our Oracle Access Manager integration with BIG-IP, Oracle Data Guard sync over the WAN with F5 BIG-IP, Oracle RMAN replication with F5's BIG-IP WOM, PeopleSoft with F5's BIG-IP Web Acceleration & WAN Optimization, and a few others. We will also be shooting more video including some whiteboard episodes along with the various interviews I like to conduct with partners, customers and F5 employees. Those should be posted throughout the week so either check back here or visit our YouTube Channel for news hot off the floor. There are also a few sessions that have a F5 flavor to it: Maximum Availability Architecture Best Practices: Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 - This session presents Oracle E-Business Suite maximum availability architecture configuration considerations and best practices for deploying high-availability and disaster recovery solutions. 21Tues – 3:30p Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g: Architecting for Continuous Availability - This session discusses continuous availability features and options available in the Oracle Fusion Middleware infrastructure, how these features can be used to provide continuous availability. 21Tues – 3:30p Top Oracle Database 11g High-Availability Best Practices That DBAs Need to Know - This session shows how Oracle maximum availability architecture best practices have evolved in Oracle Database 11g. Topics include grid infrastructure, single client access name (SCAN), and others. 22Wed – 1:00pm Hope to see you there, if not you’ll see me here. And one from Confucius: The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near to virtue. ps The CloudFucius Series: Intro, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22CloudFucius’ Road Trip: Oracle Open World
