To Create a Portal Instance on WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5 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

1. Install WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5 and create a managed server, 7022server on Port 7022.

2. Go to the WebLogic_base/user_projects/domains/mydomain directory and run the following scripts:

   ./startWeblogic.sh

   ./startManagedWeblogic.sh 7022server

3. Start the installer, select Access Manager SDK and install it in the Configure Later mode.

4. Edit the values in the amsamplesilent file.

   For Solaris, the amsamplesilent file is present in the /AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin directory. For Linux, it is in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

5. Change the following values in the amsamplesilent file.

   • DEPLOY_LEVEL=4

   • SERVER_NAME=AccessManager host name without FQDN

   • SERVER_HOST=$SERVER_NAME.domain.com

   • SERVER_PORT=AccessManager server port

   • ADMIN_PORT=Admin port for the web container on which Access Manager resides

   • DS_HOST=Directory Server HOSTNAME with FQDN

   • DS_DIRMGRPASSWD=Directory Manager Password

   • ROOT_SUFFIX=root suffix of Access Manager

   • ADMINPASSWD=AccessManger Password

   • AMLDAPUSERPASSWD=LDAP password

   • COOKIE_DOMAIN=.domain.com

   • AM_ENC_PWD=any string

   • NEW_OWNER=root

   • NEW_GROUP=other

     This value is root for Solaris 10 and Linux, and other for Solaris 9

   • PAM_SERVICE_NAME=other

   • WEB_CONTAINER=WL8

   • BASEDIR=Directory where Access Manager SDK is installed

     For example, /AccessManager_base/SUNWam

   • CONSOLE_HOST=FQDN of host where Portal needs to be installed

   • CONSOLE_PORT=Port where new Portal needs to be installed, which is the port of the managed server

   • CONSOLE_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • AM_REALM=disabled

   • WL8_HOME=/usr/local/bea

   • WL8_PROJECT_DIR=user_projects

   • WL8_DOMAIN=mydomain

   • WL8_CONFIG_LOCATION=$WL8_HOME/$WL8_PROJECT_DIR/domains

   • WL8_SERVER=myserver

     Name of the managed server on which second Portal needs to be installed.

   • WL8_INSTANCE=$WL8_HOME/weblogic81

   • WL8_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • WL8_HOST=FQDN of the node on which second Portal needs to be installed

   • WL8_PORT=Port where the new Portal needs to be installed, which is the port of the managed server

   • WL8_SSLPORT=Weblogic ADMIN_PORT

   • WL8_ADMIN=weblogic

   • WL8_PASSWORD=weblogic admin password

   • WL8_JDK_HOME=$WL8_HOME/jdk142_08

6. Run the following command:

   AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amconfig -s AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amsamplesilent

   For Linux, the amsamplesilent utility is available in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

7. Run the installer again and install Portal Server in the Configure Later mode.

8. Configure the common agent container and Java DB.

   PortalServer_base/bin/psconfig --config example2.xml

9. Verify that the common agent container is working properly.

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

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

    • Host=hostname.domain

    • Port=Port on which new Portal needs to be installed

    • Scheme=http

    • WebContainerType=BEAWL8

    • WebContainerInstallDir=/usr/local/bea/weblogic81

    • WebContainerInstanceName=Name of the managed server on which second instance of Portal needs to be installed

    • WebContainerInstanceDir=/usr/local/bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain

    • WebContainerDocRoot=Leave Blank

    • WebContainerAdminHost=hostname.domain

    • WebContainerAdminPort=Port of admin server

    • WebContainerAdminScheme=http

    • WebContainerAdminUid=admin id

    • WebContainerAdminPassword=admin password

    • WebContainerJDKDir=/usr/local/bea/jdk142_08

    • WebContainerManagedServer=true

      The value is false, if new Portal is installed on administrator server itself.

11. Create the new instance of Portal Server.

    PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin create-instance -u amadmin -f ps_password -p portal1 -w secondinstance.properties

    ---

    Note –

    Dcom.iplanet.am.serverMode in startWeblogic.sh or startManagedWeblogic.sh should be set to false.

    ---

12. Restart the web container.

13. Verify that the new portal instance is created.

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

14. Access the second portal instance.

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