Security Software

Hi

I'm new to Oracle identity & accessmanagent suite (11.1.1.5.0 - Full version) , where i need to perform a POC on OAM feature provided by the suite.
Prior to this i have knowledge on SUN IDM 8.1.1 (Oracle Waveset) and also have worked on Open SSO (Sun Access Manager 8.1). I did like to install the
OIAM suite in my work station and did like to play around the tool after installation. Need input if these below s/w & h/w are sufficient to explore OAM feature( Oracle Access Manger).
Below are

- OIAM Suite 11.1.1.5.0 ( Exploring only OAM features)
- Oracle JDK 1.6.0_24+
- Oracle Database 10.2.0.4+
- Oracle Weblogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5) (Can we use jboss 4.+)
- Internet Explorer 9.x
- Windows 7
- Oracle Virtual/Internet Directory 11gR1 (11.1.1.4+)


1. Can i install OAIM suite and application that i'm protecting in 2 different systems
2. If so, do they need to be in same domian and any specific n/w setup
3. In case if i can install both OAIM and app that are to be protected in same system, will it work still better.
4. Is there any specific n/w or configuration we should consider before installation.

For my POC on OAM features, basically logging forward for Single Sign on for web applications.

I have tried couple of forums and websites, which does not provide clear information for a beginner.
So please help me in this regard.

Thanks in anticipation
