This section discusses the steps you need to take after installing the Administration Server.
The installer program offers you the option of installing the policy database schema as part of the installation procedure. There are two situations in which you should not install the database schema again:
If you have not installed the policy database schema, you must do so now; otherwise, you will not be able to the start the Administration Server processes.
Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you have completed the following configuration and setup steps:
PATH
environment variables for the Administration Server.PATH
environment variables for your database server.Ensure that the Oracle client is set up and configured.
Ensure you can connect to the Oracle database server using command sqlplus
(the Net Service Name, login ID and password).
For Windows, ensure that the PATH
includes the BIN
and DLL
directory of the Oracle installation.
For Sun Solaris and Linux, ensure that the environmental variable ORACLE_HOME
is set, $ORACLE_HOME
/bin is in the PATH
, and $ORACLE_HOME
/lib is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
.
Ensure that the Sybase 12.5 client is set up and configured.
In Windows, ensure that the PATH
includes %SYBASE%\OCS-12_5\
bin and %SYBASE%\OCS-12_5\dll
. In Unix, ensure PATH
includes $SYBASE/OCS-12_5/bin
, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
includes $SYBASE/OCS-12_5/lib
.
Ensure you can connect to the Sybase database server using command isql
(the name of the database server, login ID and password).
For instructions for installing the database schema, see the following topics:
To install the policy database schema in a Microsoft Windows environment, perform the following steps:
cd \bea\ales22-admin\bin
install_schema
_
oracle.bat
server dblogin dbpassword enterprise_domain [policyowner]
install_schema
_
sybase.bat
server
database dblogin dbpassword enterprise_domain [policyowner]
server
—The name of the Oracle net service name or Sybase server name.database
—The name of the Sybase database.dblogin
—The username to use to access the database; the username for the database administrator. Owner of the policy database (optional, defaults to the user login, usually the same as the username
). The policy owner is a database username or user ID that controls the database schema in the database instance.enterprise_domain
—The name of the enterprise domain. The enterprise domain name is used to link all the components and is referred to as the Enterprise Domain Name when you installed the Administration Server.[policyowner]
—The Owner of the tables/schema in the policy database.
For more information on the database schema installation, examine the install_schema_oracle.log
or install_schema_sybase.log
in the log directory.

After you have installed the Administration Server, you must start the necessary processes by running the appropriate batch or shell scripts. On UNIX, run WLESadmin.sh start
or WLESadmin.sh console
. On Windows, you can start the WLESadmin start
or WLESadmin console
processes as services from the Programs menu or as commands from a console window.
For more detailed instructions on how to start and stop the required processes, see Starting and Stopping Processes in the Administration and Deployment Guide.
At this time, you can log into the Administration Console and check that all the components are working correctly. For descriptions of the processes that are running, see Starting and Stopping Processes in the Administration and Deployment Guide.
To log into the Administration Console:
To ensure that your transactions are securely encrypted, the Administration Console uses two-way Secure Socket Layers (SSL) to communicate with your Administration Server.
https://hostname:port/asi
hostname
is the Domain Name Server (DNS) name or IP address of the Administration Server.
port
is the port number through which the Administration Server is connected.
asi
is the name of the Enterprise Domain (that you assigned during the installation procedure).
system
(username) and weblogic
(password). This is the default administrator configured on install and should only be used for the initial login.Note: | The Administration Console allows administrators to edit configurations or perform other operations based on security roles granted by the administration policy. If your security roles do not permit editing of configuration data, for example, the data is displayed in the Administration Console but is not editable. If you try to perform an operation that is not permitted, the Administration Console displays an Access Denied . |
Now that you have successfully installed the Administration Server, you are ready to install your Security Service Modules and configure and deploy your security configurations and policies.
For instructions on installing Security Service Modules (SSMs), see Installing Security Service Modules.
Note: | In a production environment, BEA recommends that you install your Security Service Modules on machines other than the machine on which the Administration Server is installed. |
For instructions on how to write and deploy policies to SSMs to protect resources, see the Policy Managers Guide. This document describes how to define resources, identities, and roles, and how to writer authorization policies and role mapping policies. It also describes how to create policy data files that you can use to import policy data into the Administration Server and how import and export policy data.
