OAM R2 REST APIs for Policy Management

Image
Oracle Access Manager 11g R2 provides several new REST APIs. This continues a trend to expose key functionality via Web Services. The OAM Mobile and Social service provides APIs for Authentication, Authorization  and User Profile services.  I will cover those APIs in a future article (have a look here for examples) - but today I want to focus on the  policy management APIs. The Policy Administration API  enables to you to interact with OAM to create a variety of Policy objects such as Application Domains, Resources, AuthN Schemes, and AuthN/AuthZ policies. The policy model is shown below: For example, if you want to retrieve all of the resources in an Application Domain you can perform a GET against the /resource URI: curl -u USER:PASSWORD http://<SERVER>:<PORT>/oam/services/rest/11.1.2.0.0/ssa/policyadmin/resource?appdomain="IAM Suite" Note: The port above is where the OAM Admin Server is deployed (often 7001). It ...

Stupid Oracle vktm tricks to improve VirtualBox performance

In the process of creating a demo VirtualBox image running OEL 6 and the Oracle database 11.2.0.3.0 I noticed the idle CPU consumption was quite high (8% on the guest, 35% on the host). The culprit turned out to be the Oracle database vktm process. This is a time keeping process - and it calls gettimeofday() *very* frequently.  This can have a negative performance impact in virtualized environments. A colleague who is a database whiz suggested the following trick: sqlplus / as sysdba alter system set "_high_priority_processes"='LMS*' scope=spfile;  This removes the vktm process from the list of high priority processes. After this change (you need to bounce the database) the idle CPU consumption comes down to 1-2% or so. A nice improvement! It goes without saying that this is: a) Totally unsupported b) Probably dangerous. This will most certainly break things in the database - such as statistics, auditing, etc. c) For demo/development use...

Introducing ds-operator, the ForgeRock Directory Services Operator for Kubernetes

Image
ForgeRock Directory Services 7.0 was a big achievement for the Grenoble Directory team.  It is the only "Kubernetes native" directory where you can add a new replica using kubectl: kubectl scale sts/ds-idrepo --replicas=3 The 7.0 deployment is assembled using standard Kubernetes primitives such as StatefulSets , Persistent Volume Claims, and Services.  This is all built and orchestrated using Skaffold and Kustomize .  An emerging pattern in the Kubernetes world is the use of Custom Resources and Operators .  Broadly speaking, a custom resource is the declaration of the desired system state, and the operator's job is to observe the current state and bring the system into alignment with the declared state: source: https://blog.container-solutions.com/kubernetes-operators-explained The Kubernetes API server (the thing that responds to your kubectl commands) can be extended to handle new custom types.  A custom resource definition (CRD) describes to the API se...
