Portal 11G: Change Portal OID Realm after the installation process completes

In the recent 11G Portal installation and configuration, it was found out at the very end of the process that the portal OID realm needs some change.  In order not to re-start the whole process, which is quite lengthy, I used the following way to fix the issue.

The following describes the steps I used and it succeeded. This was traveling at no man's land. It took quite an effort.

(1) create the new, desired realm. use oidrealm, an Oracle utility. It is discussed in an early post of mine.

(2) Go to the portal repository schema. In our case, it is INTF_Portal Update the following tables in INTF_Portal schema to replace the old realm with the new realm.
 $WWPRE_VALUE, $WWSEC_User, $WWSEC_group, $WWSEC_member

(3) lastly, go to portal Builder to ensure that you can log in using one of the users under cn=Users under the new realm. During the above process, a few issues have been encountered, I have highlighted these issues and described briefly of the solution to them.
