How to create a OIM Client connection on your local machine?

               

As soon as  you start working on OIM, you will need to create connection to OIM to test your API code. Though is fairly simple sometimes require lot of efforts for first timers.

1. List of JAR files needed in the class path.
1. OIMClient.jar
2. WLFullClient.jar
3. Eclipselink.jar
4. Jrf-api.jar
5. Spring.jar
6. Commons-logging.jar
7. Authwl.conf
2.  For 2-7 extract the jar from oimclient.zip located at path OIM_Home/server/client and for OIMClient.jar use OIM_Home/designconsole/lib directory.
3. Below is the code to connect:

        oracle.iam.platform.OIMClient client = null;

            try {

                            String oimURL = "";                                                  

            String oimUserName = "";                                                 

            String oimPassword = "";   

                HashMap filterMap = new HashMap();

                HashMap dataMap = new HashMap();

            String OIMUserName = "xelsysadm";

            String OIMPassword = "Admin123";

            String OIMURL = "t3://localhost:14000/";

            String OIMInitialContextFactory = "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory";

            java.util.Hashtable env = new java.util.Hashtable();

            System.setProperty("OIM.AppServerType", "wls");//Server Type wls for weblogic

            System.setProperty("APPSERVER_TYPE", "wls"); //Server Type wls for weblogic

            System.setProperty("weblogic.Name", "oim_server1"); //Specify the name of the oim server

            System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "../conf/authwl.conf"); //path to authwl.config

            env.put(oracle.iam.platform.OIMClient.JAVA_NAMING_FACTORY_INITIAL, OIMInitialContextFactory);

            env.put(oracle.iam.platform.OIMClient.JAVA_NAMING_PROVIDER_URL, OIMURL);

System.out.println("Starting Connection”);

                client = new oracle.iam.platform.OIMClient(env);

                                 System.out.println("Obtained OIM Connection”);
