PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE In the order of most recent to past: Financial Industry, Switzerland Government Navy, Insurance, Implement x509 PKI Smartcard Authentication with E-Business Suite R12.1.3 with OID 11.1.1.5.0, and OAM 11.1.1.5.0 Architected a x509 smartcard authentication using clients PKI with E-Business Suite R12 and OAM11g with OID11g. Responsible for designing and deploying the integration and High Availability. Solaris SPARC 10 was the platform the implementation was built on. Users were synchronized bi-directionally using OID DIP and E-Business Suite synch function. OID was installed against Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC). Guidance and Implementation for Security Framework using OID 10.1.4.3 on RAC, OVD 10.1.4.3, OAM 10.1.4.2, and OIF 10.1.4.3 Has U.S. Government SF-86 Security Clearance; Secret Level. Has U.S. Government CAC smartcard clearance Integration included SSO on WebLogic, Wiki & Blog, Universal Content, and Oracle Plumbtree Portal. The platform was designed to work on Windows 2003, but the Oracle database runs on RHEL 4. Designed incorporated OAM lost password, self-registration workflows, self-service features using OAM security. Designed custom redirect in OAM for CAC authentication A new x509 PKI authentication method was designed using out-of-the-box features of F5 BIG-IP and OAM external authentication to provide a flexible CAC smartcard authentication. Using custom irules for header information that extracts data from ECA, PIV, or CAC certificates to make granular authorization decisions to content. Implementation of OID 10g on Oracle RAC I developed a custom in PLSQL plug-in for OID 10g to generate a GUID. I developed a custom OAM C# (C Sharp) Authorization Plug-in that is key to granular content authorization used for UCM, WCI, Discussions, and Wiki & Blog. Architect Security Framework using OID 10.1.4.3 on RAC, OVD 10.1.4.3, OAM 10.1.4.2, and OAAM 10.1.4.3 Architected a security framework that will support at least one-million customer base. Integration included WebLogic for the development platform that included integration with OAM workflows for self-registration. The platform was designed to work on Windows 2003. Designed incorporated OAM lost password Oracle Consultant Page 3 of 9
Auto Satellite Services, Government, Canada Aerospace, Software Industry, Manufacturing and Distribution Industry, Architect Security Framework using OID 10.1.4.3, OVD 10.1.4.3, OAM 10.1.4.2, and OIF 10.1.4.3 Architected a security framework that will support at least five-million customer base. Application Integration included OAM with JBoss using Spring Security. RHEL 5 64bit was the platform the design was built on. Designed incorporated OAM access for SSO, OID as the Enterprise user store, and OVD to support aggregated view for future Active Directory Forest. OID is deployed against a two-node RAC Guidance on OAM 10.1.4.2 Integration and implemented OVD 10.1.4.3 Helped develop a.net managed code Authorization Plug-in to concatenate DOMAIN/ERID. Plug-in was created to search through User DN and decide which domain a user belongs to. Integrated RSA SecurID 6.1 Authentication with OAM Integrated Client Certificate Authentication with OAM using the authn_securid plug-in and OpenSSL to generate a CA and certificates Implemented OVD to solve problems authenticating against two Active Directory forests. Guidance on OAM 10.1.4.2, OVD 10.1.4.2 and OID 10.0.2 LDAP Assisted on Policy rules and to make things work helped implement a custom Python plug-in to correct distinguished name of members with groups. Fixed idle timeout issues with WebGates Documented how to extend Simple Cert mode expiry from default of 1 year to 10 years. Documented recommendations on high availability Documented best practices on Bundled Patch deployment Corrected mis-behaving Login form Documented procedures on implementing Two-way LDAP replication OAM Upgrade from NetPoint 7.0.1 to 10.1.4.2BP05 Oblix NetPoint 7.0.1 HF5 was upgraded to Oracle Manager 10g. Using a hybrid of the ZDTU (Zero Down Time Upgrade), ran a successful upgrade of a 7.0.1 to OAM 10.1.4.2 BP05. Required migrating an extensive stylesheet customization, which required merging legacy custom stylesheets into the new OAM version. Many custom Perl Scripts and C++ plug-ins had to be migrated. A new improved architecture was developed, both for OAM and LDAP. Several documents were created to support the build, upgrade, migration of customization, and testing. OAM 10g Architecture for Global deployment Designed an architecture that supported global deployment. Documented the architecture to support the required IAM ( ) vision. Included high level integration in the document for Oracle E-Business Suite, WebLogic, and general web applications. Oracle Consultant Page 4 of 9
Provided insight on OAM product knowledge and integration. No product was deployed. This engagement was purely to provide an architecture and guidance. Third Largest University, Manufacturing and Distribution Industry, Financial Industry, High Level Design and Recommendation for Oracle IAM Suite. Lead project to complete a University IAM design with all of Oracle s Idm technology. Products used in design were OIM, OIF, OAM, OVD, OEM, and E. Designed a phased approach with opt-in framework. Completed several onsite interviews with key University groups. Created two main documents; High Level IAM phased approach to implement Oracle IAM technologies, and a high level IAM architecture document that included all of the Oracle IAM products. Complete Architecture Review of a Full End to End Proof of Concept Products implemented were OAM (COREid) 10g, OID 10g, Oracle E-business Suite, OSSO, OHS, and Oracle Identity Manager 10g (9.0.1). Reviewed the Architecture for Validation Implemented the OAM (COREid) and SSO Integration with OIM OAM 10g configurations included ADAM for the Policy and Configuration store, and Active Directory 2003 for the User store. The solution also included the SSO integration of IWA (Integrated Windows Authentication) so that employees could seamlessly go to applications without being prompted for a logon form. Documented any installations completed for future deployments in forward environments. Complete Oracle Architecture and Deployment Products implemented were OAM (COREid) 10g, OVD 10g, OID 10g, Oracle Portal 10g, OSSO, OHS, and Oracle Directory Integration Toolkit. Architected a secure OAM 10.1.4.2 solution that included Oracle Virtual Directory 10g as the backend LDAP for OAM. The architecture provided a very security three-tier design that separated the presentation layer from the application layer from the data layer. This provided security layers to help meet PCI compliance. Problems solved were keeping external clients separate from the internal employees in Active Directory by using OVD 10g, which pointed to OID as an external user LDAP store and Active Directory 2003 for internal users. The namespace was abstracted from the backend Directory Services including any unique members of groups, which translated dynamically all in real-time. The architecture required the synchronization of users and groups between Active Directory 2003 to OID using a custom Oracle Directory Integration Toolkit so the Oracle Portal could consume user and group data on OID. OAM provided SSO with the integration of Oracle Portal 10g. Deployment was on multiple environments including a Proof of Concept. The stages of the project were completed using Oracle s Oracle Unified Methodology, which covered Architecture, Design and Analysis, Implementation, Testing, and Production rollout. The solution worked with very few technical issues out of the box. All session points that may expose sensitive data like passwords were Oracle Consultant Page 5 of 9
