  2. RSA Authentication Manager 7.1: Oracle Doc here. OAM 11gR1 does not support this integration.
  3. JBoss 5.1.0: Documentation here. OAM 11gR1 does not support this integration.
However there are few integrations coming up post R2 such as MS OWA, SAP Portal and IBM WebSphere Portal.

DCC in OAM 11gR2

I did not get chance to work on OAM 11g R2 yet, but one of my friends were asking couple of weeks ago about DCC in OAM 11g.
DCC stands for Detached Credential Collector which is a new feature introducted in 11gR2, not available in 11gR1.

I've read an article about this feature which looks simpler to me. You can learn this too http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2012/10/dcc-configuration-11gr2.html

Its Oracle Documentation is here.

OVD 11g performance tuning

I've read an article about OVD 11g performance tuning which is very well explained. It explains various systems and factors to be tuned in OVD environment.

Nice post on OES 10g vs 11g

I have started a discussion in linkedin to find out the documentation/thoughts on OES 11g and 10g comparison with respect to features like authorization and role policy models, export and import XMLs and so on.

Matthew carter has pointed out a good post on comparing OES 10g with OES 11gR2.
I'll supplement this post with some more thoughts soon here.

TNS-12542: TNS Address already in use

While starting the Oracle DB 11g listener I am getting the error TNS-12542. Check the below screenshot.

The DB services are running in VM and network setting is applied as NAT. It was working all while until today so I verified the ip address and noticed that it is changed.
So I updated the /etc/hosts file with correct IP address and started the listener without any hiccups :)

Planning to move to other vendor products?????

With time I am getting chafed with Oracle Products and its documentation. Oracle is releasing products at a much faster rate with inadequate documentation and inadequate training programs. It is getting very difficult for programmers to adapt to new versions and implement the customer requirements.

I am planning to learn some other vendor products to shift the Oracle platform.. I can't assure whether I will quit Oracle platform.

So my next objective is to learn Novell Access Manager based on my bandwidth. I shall be writing some posts on my learning often.
