Access Manager and Portal Server Example

This example installs Portal Server with Access Manager on a single host, using Web Server as the web container. Portal Server and Access Manager should use the same type of web container.

You can use Access Manager Core Services, Access Manager Administration Console, and Common Domain Services for Federation on another host by deselecting these subcomponents of Access Manager.

When you are installing Access Manager with Portal Server, you can select either Realm (7.x) mode or Legacy (6.x) mode for Access Manager. However, Portal Server supports Realm mode only if Access Manager is configured with Directory Server, with AM SDK configured for the data store.
