So, finally on to the point of this post. The only issues that we have had with OIF 11.1.1.2 is that when trying to search for local users (we are using OVD as our User Data Store … OVD front’s two different AD instances) we have some issues with the search function and not all users can authenticate. Yes, this is actually a major problem.
I noticed via http://support.oracle.com that there are a lot of patches available for 11.1.1.2. I ended up downloading the 11.1.1.3 version from OTN (here).
(Note: I talked to my contact at Oracle Support who said that 11.1.1.4 is coming very soon)
This version requires that Weblogic be at least 10.1.3. I went back to the support site and downloaded the 10.1.3 patch from there. It’s a jar file that is run and will open up as an OUI installer. I found this site which I used as a guide. It’s pretty simple and painless. Make sure that you restart WLS after upgrading and before upgrading OIF. When the OIF upgrade is complete you should restart the managed service.
After restarting OIF I noticed in Enterprise Manager (EM) that OIF is still displaying as 11.1.1.2. I am running the Upgrade Assistant (Oracle_Home/bin/ua). On the second screen you can select “Verify Instance”. This will walk you through and verify that your OIF instance is upgraded to the correct version. In my case the status is showing as “Failed”. One thing that seems odd to me is that the port shown (on the error message) is 7499. It looks like it’s trying to access the URL to the metadata file and is trying to go on 7499. (i.e., http://hostname:7499/fed/idp/metadata). I can get to the file via 7777 and not 7499. So, I’ll need to check later as to why the Upgrade Assistant is using that port.
