To Create a New Portal Instance on Web Server 7.0 on a Remote Node

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• Portal Server, Access Manager, and Common Agent Container are up and running on the first node. Execute the following command on Node 1: PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u user-name -f admin-password

• Ensure that the Access Manager is accessible.

• Web Server 7.0 is installed in the default directory.

• The system date on the second instance node should be same as the system date on the first instance node. System dates should be in sync. To achieve this, run the rdate first_instance_node_fqdn command on the second instance node.

1. Start the installer and install Access Manager SDK and Web Server 7.0 in the Configure Now mode.

   In the installer panel, provide the details of the Identity Server and Access Manager that you installed in the first node.

2. Start the Web Server 7.0 administrator server.

   WebServer_base/admin-server/bin/startserv

3. Start the Web Server 7.0 instance.

   WebServer_base/https-hostname.domain/bin/startserv

4. Stat the installer and install Portal Server in the Configure Later mode.

5. Configure the common agent container and Java DB.

   PortalServer_base/bin/psconfig --config example2.xml

6. Verify that the common agent container is functioning properly.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

7. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.SJSAS81 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondinstance.properties file.

8. Edit the following properties in secondinstance.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=80

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=SJSWS7

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/WebServer_base/SUNWwbsvr7

   • WebContainerInstanceName=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerDomainName=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerDocRoot=/var/SUNWwbsvr/docs

   • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

   • WebContainerAdminPort=8989

   • WebContainerAdminScheme=https

   • WebContainerAdminUid=administrator id

   • WebContainerAdminPassword=WebServer administrator password

9. Create the new portal instance.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-portal -u amadmin -f ps_password -p secondportal -w secondinstance.properties

10. Restart the web container.

11. Verify that the new Portal Server instance has been created.

    PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u amadmin -f ps_password

12. Access the second Portal Server instance.

    http://hostname.domain.com:instance-port/portal
