Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 Administration Guide

Application Server 8.x Configuration

If you are deploying the Delegated Administrator server or console on Application Server 8.x, follow the steps described in this section.

ProcedureTo configure Application Server 8.x

  1. Application Server 8.x Configuration Details

    The panel text tells you if you are providing Application Server 8.x configuration information for the Delegated Administrator server or console.

    Enter the Application Server installation directory. By default, this directory is /opt/SUNWappserver/appserver.

    Enter the Application Server domain directory. By default, this directory is /var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1.

    Enter the Application Server document root directory. By default, this directory is /var/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/docroot.

    You can browse to select any of these directories.

    Enter the Application Server target name. For example: server.

    Enter the Application Server virtual server identifier. For example: server.


    Note –

    If you are running the config-commda program to upgrade Delegated Administrator, and you also have upgraded Application Server from version 7 to version 8.x, specify the following values for the Application Server target name and virtual server identifier:

    • Target name: server1

    • Virtual server identifier: server

    You must specify these values because the asupgrade utility migrates the Application Server 7 server1 instance into the Application Server 8.x server1 target running under a nodeagent. However, asupgrade changes the value of the virtual server from server1 in Application Server 7 to server in Application Server 8.x.


    Enter the Application Server target HTTP port number.

    Click Next to continue, Back to return to the previous panel, or Cancel to exit.

    The configuration program checks if the directories you specified are valid. If a directory is invalid or does not exist, a dialog box tells you to choose a new directory.

    Next, the configuration program checks if an Application Server target connection is alive. If not, a dialog box warns you that the configuration program could not connect to the specified target and your configuration may not be completed. You can accept the specified values or choose new Application Server configuration values.

  2. Application Server 8.x: Administration Instance Details

    Enter the Administration Server port number. For example: 4849

    Enter the Administration Server administrator user ID. For example: admin

    Enter the administrator user password.

    If you are using a secure Administration Server instance, check the Secure Administration Server Instance box. If you are not, leave the box unchecked.

    Click Next to continue, Back to return to the previous panel, or Cancel to exit.

  3. Default Domain Separator

    This panel appears only if you are configuring the Delegated Administrator console. The domain separator is needed to configure the console; this information is not related to the Web container.

    Enter the default domain separator to be used for authentication when the user logs on. For example: @.
