DOAG 2018 SIG Security – Oracle Unified Directory on Docker

A couple of days ago I did had the opportunity to give a presentation on Oracle Unified Directory on Docker at the DOAG SIG Security day in Stuttgart. It was a great opportunity to discuss how OUD engineering can be simplified using Docker. As proof how easy this can be, I set up and configured an OUD AD proxy in a short demo.

 

Besides the demo the following topics were discussed:

  • Docker in a nutshell
  • Requirements to setup Oracle Unified Directory in Docker
  • Oracle Unified Directory installation
  • Build an Oracle Unified Directory Docker image
  • Discuss the Dockerfile and build scripts
  • Digression on how to make Docker images smaller
  • Use the Oracle Unified Directory Docker image
  • Discuss the instance status and create scripts
  • Use cases for Oracle Unified Directory in Docker
  • Demo setup Oracle Unified Directory with Enterprise User Security and Active Directory proxy

With an Oracle Unified Directory Docker images and the OUD Base template scripts it took just a couple of minutes to setup and configure Enterprise User Security with an Oracle Unified Directory AD proxy. More complex use cases including high availability, replication etc. will take a bit more time, but it can also be automated.
