You can configure Oracle Internet Directory to be the directory
service for FileNet® P8.
Make sure to consider the following requirements:
- When installing Oracle Internet Directory (OID) using the Oracle
Universal Installer, you must at a minimum select to install the Oracle
Internet Directory component. The Oracle Universal Installer will
ensure that certain other components that OID requires will also be
installed.
- If Oracle Internet Directory is installed on a Windows server, it must have an NTFS hard
drive partition.
- The security administrator might have to create an index if the
sorting attribute is not in the list of default attributes shipped
by Oracle Internet Directory.
- Access control settings in FileNet P8 require
that all users have Browse access on the directory server. If you
do not want to set Browse access at the individual user level, it
is a best practice to establish a Public trustee for the realm.
- Server Side Sorting (SSS)
must be enabled. This is because FileNet P8 components call on
Content Platform Engine to perform searches using a sorted paging mechanism.
Note that SSS is normally enabled by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with
performance.
