This example installs Portal Server and its required components on one host, using a copy of Access Manager that is already installed with Directory Server on another host. Access Manager and Portal Server must use the same type of web container.
To use this sequence example, also refer to known issue 6284663 in the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Release Notes.
Portal Server requires Access Manager. Access Manager requires a local or remote copy of Directory Server and a local web container. You can run Portal Server on a separate host from Access Manager, in which case Portal Server requires a local copy of the Access Manager SDK and a local web container. When you install Portal Server and the Access Manager SDK, you need to deselect the unneeded subcomponents of Access Manager. (The installer automatically selects all Access Manager subcomponents when you select Portal Server.)
You must use Access Manager Legacy (6.x) installation type if you are installing Access Manager with Portal Server, Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Delegated Administrator, or Instant Messaging. Access Manager Realm (7.x) installation type can only be used if you are not installing any of these components.
The following high-level tasks are required:
Verifying that Access Manager and Directory Server are installed and running
Because Administration Server provides a graphical interface for Directory Server, you might also want to select Administration Server.
