Where Does the Installer Write Files?
Things You Should Know Before Starting the Installation 3-5
■
If you are using any other version of Oracle Internet Directory (for example, you
are using an existing Oracle Internet Directory), your Oracle Internet Directory
administrator might have defined a different password policy. The password you
enter for the ias_admin user must conform to the existing Oracle Internet
Directory’s password policy.
In addition to the password policy defined in Oracle Internet Directory, the password
for the ias_admin user has these restrictions:
■
Passwords must be shorter than 30 characters.
■
Passwords can contain only alphanumeric characters from your database character
set, the underscore (_), the dollar sign ($), and the number sign (#).
■
Passwords must begin with an alphabetic character. Passwords cannot begin with
a number, the underscore (_), the dollar sign ($), or the number sign (#).
■
Passwords cannot be Oracle reserved words. The Oracle Database SQL Reference
lists the reserved words. You can find this guide on Oracle Technology Network
(
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation ). Or you can just
avoid using words that sound like they might be reserved words.
You must remember the password because you need to enter it to perform the
following tasks:
■
When you log on to Application Server Control to manage Oracle Application
Server, you log on as the ias_admin user.
■
For middle-tier installations: if you want to install a larger middle tier in an
ORACLE_HOME that already contains a middle tier (for example, you want to
install the Portal and Wireless type over an existing J2EE and Web Cache type),
you must enter the existing password during the installation.
If you forget the password, you can reset it. See the Oracle Application Server
Administrator’s Guide for details.
3.7 Comparing Installing Components against Configuring Components
When you select components on the Select Configuration Options screen, the installer
installs and configures the selected components. For the unselected components, the
installer still installs them, but does not configure them.
In most cases, you can configure components that you did not select on the Select
Configuration Options screen after installation using the Application Server Control.
See the Oracle Application Server Administrator’s Guide for details.
3.8 Where Does the Installer Write Files?
The installer writes files to the following directories:
Note: When entering your password, check that the state of the Caps
Lock key is what you want it to be. Passwords are case-sensitive.
