Multiplexing OID, SSO, PORTAL Virtual Private Portals (VPP)
Business Problem









Single Physical OID meta repository instance and server
Single Middle Tier instance and server
Have multiple SITES under this setup
Have separate DAS, OIDAMIN user, SSO user and group
entries
Separate applications for each site
Shared Tables
Easy of backup
NO REPLICATION or DATA SYNC
NO INVESTMENT IN HARDWARE COST

Multiplexing OID, SSO, PORTAL Virtual Private Portals (VPP)
Typical Architecture of 10gAS

We typically have one Infrastructure server with
the following components


HTTP_Server, OC4J_SECURITY, OID,
Single Sign-On: orasso, Management
We typically have one Application Server with
the following components

Discoverer, Forms, HTTP_Server, OC4J_BI_Forms,
OC4J_Portal, Reports Server, Web Cache, Management

Issues With This Deployment


We have shared OID, SSO, DAS on the
infrastructure tier, hence single password
file management
We have shared portal application users,
groups, Single DN entity tree

Clustered Database
Server Nodes are
connected via
a high speed, low

GOALS MET ?





NO – Redundant hardware
NO – Duplicated OID entries
Lack of Single Super Administrator access
which can manage all instances.
Maintenance cost directly proportional to
the scale of system
Very high cost for scalability

What is Virtual Private portal (VPP)?
Multiple Portal Sites Supported over one Application Server instance.

How VPP Works



Oracle AS VPP is based on Virtual Private Database
(VPD) technology.
It involves adding a context column which distinguishes
site/subscriber in the database tables and employing
policy to restrict queries based on context of the logged
in user.
OID Administration of each site sub-tree can be
delegated and the default subscriber admin can manage
the whole tree.

VPP Benefits






Demo
Secure setup
Low cost setup
Each site/customer completely isolated
Highly Scalable
Easy to Manage
Virtually no cost to scale

VPP – The solution
Step - I : Enable VPP on the host


cd /d02/10g_PORTAL/portal/admin/plsql/wwhost
./enblhstg.csh -pc rhas2.oracletop.com:1521:asdb -ps
portal -pw ZcMulMDW -sc
rhas2.oracletop.com:1521:asdb -ss orasso -sw
H1JZ4DFT -h rhas2.oracletop.com -p 3060 -d
"cn=orcladmin" -w pwd123



[oracle@rhas2 bin]$ ./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=OC4J
opmnctl: stopping opmn managed processes...
[oracle@rhas2 bin]$ ./opmnctl startproc ias-component=OC4J

Step-II : Add Subscribers to VPP


cd /d02/10g_PORTAL/portal/admin/plsql/wwhost
./addsub.csh -name SURENDER -id 1003 -type all -pc
rhas2.oracletop.com:1521:asdb -pp pwd123 -ps portal
-pw ZcMulMDW -sc rhas2.oracletop.com:1521:asdb sp pwd123 -ss orasso -sw H1JZ4DFT -a
portal.asdb.rhas2.oracletop.com -h
rhas2.oracletop.com -p 3060 -d "cn=orcladmin" -w
pwd123 -rc "cn=OracleContext" -sd oracletop -tp

Step-III : Apache Configuration

# Add following in httpd.conf under PORTAL Home
<VirtualHost 67.100.66.98:7779>
port 7778
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /pls/portal/portal.home [PT,L,NS]
</VirtualHost>

Step-III : Setting up Branded URL


cd /d02/10g_PORTAL/portal/admin/plsql/wwhost
./addburl.csh -name SURENDEDR -pc
rhas2.oracletop.com:1521:asdb -ps portal -pw ZcMulMDW pu http://surender.oracletop.com:7778/pls/portal -sc

Limitations / Restrictions




Data Sharing not allowed for security purposes.
ASP users and groups can not be more than
two levels deep.
Manage non-default subscribers' ASP users and
groups only with hosting scripts.
ASP group is only a placeholder for ASP users
and groups. Privileges are not propagated to
subscribers.
