Oracle University Classes for Identity Management

Since our blog’s inception, we’ve covered Oracle OIM, OAM, and other identity and access management products. Previously we’ve had guest bloggers from GCA Technology Services lend their talents to feature posts related to training and various IDM training classes. Today we have the pleasure of featuring another collaborative entry by an Oracle awarded GCA instructor to highlight Oracle identity management courses available to you. 

In addition to offering an impressive array of identity and access management solutions, Oracle University in partnership with GCA Technology Services offers classes to suit your IDM training needs. In the courses listed below, you could learn the essentials for OIM 11g, and learn to have a successful implementation and maintenance of an entire OIAM stack. 

 

Oracle Identity Manager 11g: Essentials  Course: D65160GC10

This class is a good introduction into the entire "OIAM Suite" of software products. It includes an overview of the structure of "Managed Servers" (such as OIM and OAM) on top of the Oracle 11g Weblogic Server. This concept is central to understanding the stack and applies to the entire "Fusion Middleware" infrastructure.

You’ll learn about the basic components of the OIM environment and how they work together. Also covered are best practices for starting/stopping/restarting the components in the correct sequence.

 

Oracle Identity Manager: Administration and Implementation  Course: D52945GC10

This second-level OIM class delivers basic administration skills and more. Moving beyond a basic installation into the realm of customization, this class gives you a look into the working details of "connectors" -- the Java-based code that allows OIAM to communicate with literally any kind of external resource.

Many commonly-used resources can be configured using pre-defined connectors.  Custom connectors can also be deployed for other resources using the GTC framework (Generic Technology Connector). All connectors can be deployed for provisioning, reconciliation or both.

 

Oracle Access Manager 11g: Administration  Course: D63114GC10

Building upon the infrastructure described above, the OAM class gives you solid procedures for implementing "Access Management" -- that is, the ability to grant or deny access to websites/programs/severs of any type necessary. This requires a functional OIM environment, as OAM itself does not manage user data (it is not a stand-alone product), but must be used within the context of OIM.

This course presents a complete understanding of what is required to install, configure and deploy Oracle Access Manager utilizing WLS, WebAgents and mod_osso. Backward-compatibility for OAM 10g is also covered.

 

Oracle Directory Services 11g: Administration  Course: D58676GC10

All OIAM services depend upon an LDAP server, typically OID. This class gives both an introduction into the concepts of LDAP as well as day-to-day specifics of managing OID/OVD. These are necessary core skills for the successful implementation and maintenance of the entire OIAM stack.

OID concepts and architecture are covered, as well as server replication procedures.  Also covered are methodologies for the input and retrieval of data with the LDAP server including GUI, command-line tools, using LDIF files and bulk loading. 

 

Oracle Identity Analytics 11g R1: Administration Course: D68340GC20

One of the main purposes for implementing OIAM is to provide centralized accounting and reporting of user access to resources. This class provides the learner with vital skills in analyzing and reporting that data.

Included are procedures on how to provide a complete view of access-related data that includes not only the user's access of a resource, but also the "who, why, how and where" of that access. Oracle Identity Analytics reduces operational risk exposure by providing a 360-degree view of user's access. This empowers an organization to make intelligent decisions about the type and level of access assigned to users.
