Creating Session Variables

The installation of the Web Server 7.0 requires that you create passwords to use to install the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 and to access the Administration Server. The provisioning system stores secure data, such as passwords, as session variables. When you save a password as a session variable, the password is stored in a way that prevents other users from accessing the password information. However, the password information is available for use by the provisioning system when you are logged in to that session.

You must create a password that you want to use to access the Administration Server. Create a session variable called WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD. The value that you give this session variable is the password that you want to use to access the Administration Server. When the provisioning system is installing the Administration Server, it sets the access password for the server to the value of this variable.
