Portal Server Secure Remote Access Example

This example describes installation of only Portal Server Secure Remote Access with Access Manager on a single host, using Web Server as the web container.

Requirements

Portal Server Secure Remote Access requires a local copy of Access Manager or Access Manager SDK. Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core requires a local copy of Portal Server except in case of Gateway, where Portal Server Secure Remote Access does not require a local copy of Portal Server and can be installed on a separate host. Portal Server Secure Remote Access must be installed in the same location as Portal Server. Directory Server is required by Portal Server, but not necessarily a local copy. Access Manager requires a local web container, which in this example is Web Server.

To Develop a Sequence for Portal Server Secure Remote Access

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what sequence guidelines apply. Refer to Table 2–1.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what installation prerequisites apply. Refer to Table 1–3.

3. Running the Java ES installer

4. At component selection, choosing Portal Server Secure Remote Access, Portal Server, and Web Server

   Portal Server, Access Manager and Directory Server are automatically selected, as well as Java DB and Service Registry.

   • To use a remote copy of Directory Server, deselect Directory Server and specify a remote copy when prompted.

   • To use a remote copy of Access Manager, deselect Access Manager and specify a remote copy when prompted because the installer provides appropriate panels allowing to use a remote Access Manager.

5. Resolving incompatibilities

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

6. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type

   1. For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for those product components that allow installation time configuration.

      Do not accept defaults for product components that are remote; use the remote information.

      You will need to gather your configuration information from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Reference for UNIX.

   2. For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.

7. Running the installation

8. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

9. Completing any postinstallation configuration

   For Configure Now:

   • Configuring Access Manager After a Configure Now Installation

   • Portal Server and Portal Server Secure Remote Access Postinstallation Configuration

   For Configure Later:

   • Configuring Access Manager After a Configure Later Installation

   • To Configure Web Server After a Configure Later Installation

   • Portal Server and Portal Server Secure Remote Access Postinstallation Configuration

10. Starting the product components

    • Starting and Stopping Directory Server

    • Starting and Stopping Web Server (Access Manager and Portal Server start automatically.)

    • Starting and Stopping Portal Server Secure Remote Access

11. Accessing the default Access Manager login page

    http://webserver-host:port/amserver

12. Accessing the portal

    http://webserver-host:port/portal/dt

13. Enabling Portal Server Secure Remote Access in the Portal Server Deployment page

    This allows Portal Server Secure Remote Access subcomponents to be started.

14. Accessing the Portal Gateway

    https://gateway-server:port/
