Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Installation Guide for UNIX

Portal Server Using a Remote Access Manager Example

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.

Note –

To use this sequence example, also refer to known issue 6284663 in the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Release Notes.

Requirements

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.)

Note –

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.
