Administering Identity Management Realms
An identity management realm is a subtree of directory entries, all of which are
governed by the same administrative policies. A realm Oracle Context is a subtree
in a directory identity management realm that contains the data used by any
installed Oracle product that uses the directory. Enterprise Security Manager is one
such product. It lets you manage database and security-related information in an
identity management realm.
This section describes how to use Enterprise Security Manager to administer
directory identity management realm properties that pertain to Enterprise User
Security. It contains the following topics:
■ Identity Management Realm Versions
■ Setting Properties of an Identity Management Realm
■ Setting Login Name, Kerberos Principal Name, User Search Base, and
Group Search Base Identity Management Realm Attributes
■ Setting the Default Database-to-Directory Authentication Type for an
Identity Management Realm
■ Managing Identity Management Realm Administrators
Note: Do not create users within a realm Oracle Context.
