Our organization is using Siteminder 12.52. We use oracle to store the policies and users. We may be forced to upgrade our Oracle 11G to Oracle 12.x. I have some choice in the Oracle version but probably has to be in the 12.x family.
Question 1: Can any version of Oracle be used without upgrading Siteminder?
Question 2: Does Oracle need to run on RedHat linux or can it run on any linux flavor? I no longer have the option to use RedHat.
Question 3: Should Oracle compatabily flag be set to 11G to ensure no issues?
Question 4: is there some guide for migrating Oracle versions? We cannot upgrade in place. We have to install oracle on a new linux instance and then restore our users and policies to that instance from the old instance.
Some background. Our install is on AWS EC2 cloud instances using AWS Oracle AMIs which come pre-configured with Oracle already.
