Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Create a Domain

After installing GlassFish Server and creating the default domain (domain1), you can create additional domains by using the local create-domain subcommand. This subcommand creates the configuration of a domain. Any user who has access to the asadmin utility on a given system can create a domain and store the domain configuration in a folder of choice. By default, the domain configuration is created in the default directory for domains. You can override this location to store the configuration elsewhere.

You are required to specify an administrative user when you create a domain, or you can accept the default login identity which is username admin with no password.

Before You Begin

Determine which profile will apply to the domain.

  1. Select a name for the domain that you are creating.

    You can verify that a name is not already in use by using the list-domains(1) subcommand

  2. Create a domain by using the create-domain(1) subcommand.

    Information about the options for this subcommand is included in this help page.

  3. Type an admin user name and password for the domain.

    To avoid setting up an admin login, you can accept the default admin, with no password. Pressing Return also selects the default.

Example 3–1 Creating a Domain
