<title>Installing the Oracle WebLogic Policy Agent</title>
<indexterm><primary>Oracle WebLogic Server</primary></indexterm>
<para>This chapter covers installation of the policy agent for Oracle
WebLogic.</para>
<section xml:id="before-weblogic-agent-install">
<title>Before You Install</title>
<para>Make sure OpenAM is installed and running, and that you can contact OpenAM
from the system running the policy agent. Next, create a profile for your
policy agent as described in the <citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle>
section on <link xlink:href="admin-guide#create-agent-profiles"
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Creating Agent
Profiles</citetitle></link>. To protect resources with the agent also create
at least one policy as described in the section on <link
xlink:href="admin-guide#configure-authz-policy"
xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"><citetitle>Configuring
Policies</citetitle></link>. Consider creating a simple policy, such as a
policy that allows only authenticated users to access your resources, in order
to test your policy agent after installation.</para>
<para>You must install WebLogic before you install the policy agent, and you
must stop the server during installation.</para>
<para>You must install a supported version of the Java runtime environment.
Please review the <link xlink:show="new"
xlink:href="http://openam.forgerock.org/openam-documentation/openam-doc-source/doc/release-notes/#java-requirements">
<citetitle>OpenAM Release Notes</citetitle></link> for the currently supported version
of Java, and set the <literal>JAVA_HOME</literal> environment
variable accordingly.</para>

to determine which version of the agent to download and download the agent.
Also verify the checksum of the file you download against the checksum
posted on the download page.</para>
<para>Unzip the file in the directory where you plan to install the J2EE
policy agent. The agent you install stores its configuration and logs

...</screen>
<para>Upon successful completion, the installer has updated the WebLogic
configuration, copied the agent libraries to WebLogic's library directory,
and also set up configuration and log directories for the agent.</para>
<note>
<para>If the agent is in a different domain than the server, refer to <citetitle>Administration Guide</citetitle> procedure, <link

Single Sign On</citetitle></link>.</para>
</note>
</step>
<step>
<para>Take note of the configuration files and log locations.</para>
<para>Each agent instance that you install on the system has its own
numbered configuration and logs directory. The first agent's configuration
and logs are thus located under the directory
<filename>j2ee_agents/weblogic_v10_agent/Agent_001/</filename>.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Debug directory where the debug file resides. Useful in
troubleshooting policy agent issues.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</step>
<step>
<para>If your policy agent configuration is not in the top-level realm (/),
then you must edit config/<?eval ${agentsBootstrapFile}?> to identify
the sub-realm that has your policy agent configuration.
Find com.sun.identity.agents.config.organization.name and change
the / to the path to your policy agent profile. This allows the policy agent
to properly identify itself to the OpenAM server. </para>
</step>
<step>
<para>The agent requires sourcing before it will work properly. There are two
ways to source.</para>
<stepalternatives>
<step>
<para>Manually source the file containing the policy agent environment settings for
WebLogic before starting the application server. </para>
<screen>. /path/to/setAgentEnv_AdminServer.sh</screen>
</step>
<step>
<para>Or edit the <filename>startWebLogic.sh</filename> script to set the sourcing
needed for the agent, by adding these lines after the code block shown. Add the
setAgentEnv_AdminServer.sh line to the following location in the file. The drawback
to this approach is that it could be overwritten, as noted in the file.</para>
<screen>$ vi /path/to/startWebLogic.sh
# Any changes to this script may be lost when adding extensions to this configuration.
DOMAIN_HOME="/opt/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain"
