Support Note 1074345.1, here are high level steps from this note
1. Install
WebCenter
11.1.1.5
2. Install
OID/OAM
11.1.1.5
3. Integrate
OAM
with
OID
4. Integrate
EBS
R12
with
OID/OAM
for
SSO
5. Integrate
WebCenter
with
OID/OAM
for
SSO
6. Integrate
EBS
R12
with
WebCenter
7. Test EBS, OID, OAM, and WebCenter Integration
.

1. Install WebCenter 11.1.1.5

1.1 Install Database for WebCenter
1.2 Create
schema
for webcenter using Repository
Creation
Utility (RCU). More on RCU here
1.3 Install JDK (for 64 bit OS and IBM & HP-UX machines only)
1.4 Install WebLogic Server 10.3.5, more on WebLogic installation here and for
64bit WebLogic installation here
1.5 Install WebCenter Suite 11.1.1.5 software (You must install webcenter under
MiddleWare Home MW_HOME created after installing WebLogic Server in
previos step). More on MW_HOME, WL_HOME, ORACLE_HOME here
1.6 Configure WebLogic Domain ($MW_HOME/ oracle_common/ common/
bin/config.sh ) and create WebCenter Managed Servers. More on
WebLogic Domain, Admin and Managed Server here
1.7 Test WebCenter URLs
.
2. Install OID/OAM 11.1.1.5
You can check our eBook for step by step installation of OAM 11.1.1.5 , OID
11.1.1.5 and integration with Oracle Apps R12
2.1 Install Database for OID/OAM (You can also use database created for
WebCenter)
2.2 Create schema for OID/OAM using Repository Creation Utility (RCU)
2.3 Install JDK (for 64 bit OS and IBM & HP-UX machines only) 2.4 Install
WebLogic Server 10.3.5
Note: If OID/OAM/WebCenter are 11.1.1.5 then you can use single Middleware
Home and WebLogic Home for all three products i.e. OID, OAM & OIM
2.5 Install OID Suite 11.1.1.2 (This is base software and OID 11.1.1.5 is patchset

installed on top of 11.1.1.2)
2.7 Install OAM Suite 11.1.1.5
2.8 Configure OID by running config.sh from OID ORACLE_HOME/bin
(include DIP and ODSM): DIP is used in OID to EBS Integration

2.9 Configure Oracle Access Manager

$MW_HOME/ oracle_common/ common/ bin
.

by

running config.sh from

3. Integrate OAM with OID : OAM by default uses WebLogics embedded

LDAP server. This step will configure OAM to use OID as identity Store. More on

WebGate here
4.6 Set EBS Profile options to enable SSO
4.7 Test EBS-OAM/OID integration
.
5. Integrate WebCenter with OID/OAM

and 11.1.13/4/5 are patchset)
5.2 Apply OHS 11.1.1.5 patchset (11.1.1.5 is latest patchiest as of Feb 2012)
